Overeating and starving yourself are two more examples. The following books may be of assistance. You are the sum total of what you eat. Everyone should eat a balanced diet that contains all of the vitamins, minerals, and protein that are required to maintain a healthy body. Many doctors will give you sample diets that they recommend.

With the advice of my doctor, I started using the Dr. Atkins' Diet successfully since October of 1999 and I lost 45 pounds in about 5 months. Since then, I have slowly gained back 15 pounds. This diet is not for everyone, but I have found that it has worked for me. With this diet, I do not have any food cravings and I can eat as much as I want to eat. I have also been doing additional reading and I have discovered that most times when your body is telling you that you are hungary, in reality, you are only thirsty and you should get a drink of water.
