I personally recommend this program because it is so easy to use.
It is not a Diet, but rather a Healthy Eating Program for the rest of your life.
Dr. Roy Vartabedian, a Doctor of Public Health and former Director of the Cooper Clinic Wellness Programs in Dallas, Texas developed this program.
He took 3,600 foods and graded each on 26 different things, protein, carbohydrates, fat, etc.,(18 positives and 8 negatives) giving each a point value called a Nutripoint.
A Positive approach to good eating rather than a Negative one.
The higher the point value the better the food (or drink).
The object is simple; you have 3600 choices from 6 different food groups.
Select what you like and see if you total a minimum of 100 Nutripoints each day from the 6 food groups combined.
You don't have to count calories, read labels, figure out grams of fat, etc., it has all been done for you and is put into one number. Easy!

: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder
At age 26, scrawny, Oxford-educated Samuel Fussell entered a YMCA gym in New

he could barely walk. MUSCLE is the harrowing, often hilarious chronicle of
