Abstract: The principles of good nutrition and safe and sensible weight reduction principles are outlined in this comprehensive, easily readable guide for individuals who want to lose weight and maintain the weight loss. Basic nutrition concepts are discussed, including the energy-yielding nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and the six basic food groups (fruit, vegetables, starches, proteins, dairy, fats). Characteristics of a well-balanced weight loss diet and some recent popular, but unbalanced diet plans (i.e. low-carbohydrate and high-protein, low-protein, liquid protein, fad diets) are reviewed. The concept of caloric density (calories per gram of food) and differences among various calorie sources are described. The importance of fiber and water in the diet are discussed as well as dietary components for which moderation is recommened (i.e. cholesterol, triglycerides, sodium, caffeine, refined sugars).
