—Jackie Hazelton
Course Description:
How to use reason, man’s best tool for survival, to achieve weight control is a challenge to many. This presentation discusses weight control ideas from the books Thin for Life by Anne M. Fletcher, The Solution by Laurel Mellin, Eat, Drink and Be Healthy by Walter C. Willett, and Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution by Robert C. Atkins with suggestions on how to incorporate them into an individualized weight maintenance program. The advice in these four books is analyzed for its cognitive elements, mind/body integration, and appeal to Objectivists.
