In this long-awaited diet book from the

nation s best-loved physician, Dr.Lendon

Smith tells his hundreds of thousands of

readers how to get thin and stay slim, while

keeping fit and eating well.

Dr. Smith shows that the key to reduc-

ing weight is reducing stress, and his stress

program enables readers to recognize and

manage the special stresses in their lives that

create the cravings, addictions, binges, and

unhealthy eating patterns that lead to the

overweight blues.

Some people lose quickly, others more

slowly, and others have to really fight to get

pounds off. Dr. Smith gives the perfect ad-

vice for every type of dieter--from the most

frustrated frequent dieter to the easygoing

dieter who is seldom stymied.

Dr. Smith also shows how different

occupations and stressful social situations

contribute to the inability to lose weight and

stay fit. Here are, in addition to the main diet,

supplementary plans for executives and taxi

drivers, mothers and nurses, foremen and

secretaries, athletes and teachers. All jobs

are covered in this unique approach to per-

sonalized dieting.

Dr. Smith also gives advice for other

special stressful demands on the dieter,

including: business pressures and business

travel, living with the in-laws, taking exams,

child care and family crises, work deadlines,

sleepless nights of infant nursing, and

stubborn colds.

Dr. Smith gives easy-to-follow recom-

mendations to help the reader look better,

feel happier, and stay slimmer.
