This book has all the basic information one requires to understand the role of proper dieting and exercise for healthy living, and how our lifestyle impacts various health risks. It is superbly written, easy to understand and follow. It lacks glamour and fanciness, does not promise miracles, and maybe it is for that reason the book is not well known to the masses. It only speaks the scientific reality, which is the only one. For two years, I applied Dr.Elliott's simple scientific formula, which accounts for one's built, calories consumed, and impact of exercise on metabolism, and monitored my weight and shape. Theory matches with the outcome with reasonable accuracy, both in periods of dieting/exercise and sedentary lifestyle. I wish Dr.Elliott publishes new edition. One problem with this book is that it is pretty old. People like me would like to hear from him,on what had changed in the past 15 years. Nonetheless, great work, great book, buy it...
