2nd Edition - Updated and easier to use! Researchers agree that weight change in humans depends on age, gender, height, weight, activity, caloric intake and time on a diet, but an equation that predicted weight change in humans had never been developed. As a result, the public was subjected to outrageous claims like: "Lose 18 lbs in 3 weeks!" And this applied to everyone. What nonsense!
Most scientists also concurred that weight loss was governed by the first law of thermodynamics. Then fitness enthusiast Dr. Vincent Antonetti, an engineer and an expert in thermodynamics and computer science, reasoned that by applying the first law of thermodynamics to humans it should be possible to analyze of weight change in human beings. Professor Antonetti's goal was to develop an equation that predicted weight change in humans.
The first part of this book traces, in easy-to-understand language, his fascinating journey toward that goal. He was managing an engineering group at IBM. So he worked early mornings and evenings on the new equation. It took him two years to develop and verify the first and only weight change predictive equation. His results were published as, "The Equations Governing Weight Change in Human Beings," and appeared in the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
But Dr. Antonetti went a step further. He used a computer to produce easy-to-use tables which provided diet options for a personalized weight loss program. The tables, coupled with sound diet information, were the basis for the original Computer Diet. At the urging of NoPaperPress editors he wrote an updated eBook version: The Computer Diet - U.S. Edition. The original Computer diet was critically acclaimed but we think this eBook is even better. The Computer Diet - U.S. Edition is a sensible, flexible, well-balanced plan your physician will approve of. It will be as valid years from now as it is today. Because The Computer Diet is a classic - and timeless.
