The Partnership Diet Program: The Do-it-together Pounds-off Program that Doesn't Feel Like a Diet

Front Cover
Rawson, Wade, 1980 - Health & Fitness - 337 pages
Abstract: Behavior modification is the latest trend in how to lose weight premanently; learning why weight is gained and unneccessary food is eaten will enable the obese person to control his diet and hence, his weight. An important factor in modifying behavior is having positive reinforcement--have someone else go on the diet also, or at least encourage the dieter. The book discusses why behavior modification, especially socially supported, is effective in helping people lose weight; how to get someone to be a weight-loss partner; how to deal with pressure to overeat; and how to change one's attitude toward eating. Calorie guides for basic foods, fast foods, and frozen convenience foods make up the appendices.
