Being overweight is a significant problem in the Hispanic community. Statistics show that 40 percent of Hispanic women and 31percent of Hispanic men are overweight. Only nine percent of Hispanic women over eighteen report exercising regularly. This combination has been linked to certain health problems among the Hispanic population, like heart disease, (the leading cause of death for Hispanics), diabetes, and stroke, the third leading cause of death among Hispanic women. Because of this, Su Peso Ideal has been included in Guias Para Mejorar Su Salud, Rodale's new line of Spanish health books. Su Peso Ideal doesn't just offer up another fad diet. This useful and timely guide presents scientifically proven facts about weight loss and good health -- along with expert advice from leading doctors, physical trainers, nutritionists, and spa chefs -- to help readers create their own personalized weight loss program. They'll discover how to set a goal weight, lose the taste for fatty foods, have a low-fat kitchen, bounce back after a binge, Meatballs (made with turkey) and Shortcut Chili.
