Based on a daily 1,300- to 1600-calorie range, depending on body size and level of activity, the Change One program requires those who undertake it to make just one weekly nutritional or other adjustment at a time. Hastings, a health editor, and his co-authors provide menus and calorie counts for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for the first four weeks, along with recipes that are not, except for portion size, radically different from what non-dieters eat. A typical breakfast may contain one scrambled egg with a hard roll and fruit salad or four silver dollar pancakes with sliced strawberries. In addition to listing measurements in ounces or cups, serving sizes are also given in colloquial terms such as thumb tip or golf ball. A portion for a beef stew dinner, for example, should be no larger than two baseballs. Restaurant meals are not prohibited and, in fact, eating out is suggested as a twice-weekly activity.

Dieting is hard for most of us, downright impossible for a few. We can all use a little help from some detailed information, and the words of wisdom found in a good book. With a specific medical condition we need to know as much as possble about the condition, so our diet will be a help rather than a hindrance.
Merely trying to lose weight is hard enough. Losing weight while staying healthy and happy is even harder. But I know it's possible. Change One: The Breakthrough 12-Week Eating Plan: Lose Weight Simply, Safely & Forever by John Hastings can help.
