2. The Eat More, Weigh Less Diet is actually a nutrition re-training
program to help you maximize your health. I developed the program
because according to current statistics, over 70% of us are dying
from diet-related diseases and being overweight is a major sign of
this ongoing disaster. It made sense to me that the best way to treat
any diet-related illness is to place people on a diet that duplicates the
diets of people who rarely suffer from these diseases and are slim
and healthy. It also turns out that these types of diets include foods
which have an important quality about them that causes weight loss
that we lack in our modern diets. In the Eat More Diet, I provide you
with a simple way to find and use foods that have this quality in them
which I call the "Eat More Index" (EMI).

3. It is a totally new way of looking at food. The EMI number
generally represents the number of pounds of food it takes to
provide 2500 calories or one day's worth of calories for an
average active woman or average inactive man. For example,
the EMI of corn is 6.1 which means that it takes 6.1 pounds of
corn to make your daily calories. Obviously, you will have
great difficulty eating this much corn and an easier time losing
weight with such foods because it will fill your stomach before
you get the number of calories that would cause weight gain.
Thus, the higher the EMI number of a food, that is, the more
pounds of food it takes to provide your daily calories, the more
likely you are to be satisfied by eating a selected food.

4. The reason I focus on weight loss is because being
overweight is an early sign of poor health and I want as many
people as possible to avoid illness and the need for
medication. I'd like to see as many people as possible to live
a long and healthy life and avoid premature death. If you
follow the proven program spelled out in this book, you too
can enjoy all the rewards that come with being trim and in
optimal health.

5. Some of this information may surprise you and the
adjustments may not be easy. You will be rewarded for
your effort by developing a fresh understanding of
obesity, health, and disease, and you'll learn how to
make it work for you. I want to teach you how to lose
weight naturally. And by so doing, I am merely passing
along a message from nature: obesity, disease, and
less-than-optimal performance is nature's way of telling
you that something is wrong with your diet! ESCAPE
THE EPIDEMIC!

6. Make no mistake about it, we all need to learn to eat
right! Almost a million Americans die every year
from heart and vascular disease. One out of three
people gets some form of cancer. There are
countless other health problems, and most of them
are sending us identical messages: we are suffering
the consequences of a dietary epidemic. And
obesity is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, at
present, nearly three out of every four people die
from diet-related disease.

7. It is my fervent hope and prayer that this book will teach
you what you need to know to escape the fate of the
millions of people who are suffering because of improper
diets. Because if you are like most people, you are
literally eating yourself to death! In fact, the former
Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, warned us that in
these United States the most common cause of death
is--food! Being overweight is just an early sign of this far
deeper problem.

8. So what's the solution to this? You're on the right
track by trying the Eat More Diet. All you need to
do is take everything you learn to heart, realize
that your very life may depend on what you learn in
the Eat More Diet program, and then you can take
the first positive steps toward increased health,
longer life, and a trimmer and happier you.

9. Now--please take a few more seconds to make this book your
own. It's about you, it is for you. Like food itself, it can be
your friend and your servant, so use it in any way that is
helpful to you.
In fact, with regard to the principles in this book, you are
what's important. You're more important than the
ever-so-svelte model who's pushing 10,000 calorie
hamburgers on TV and implying that without one you'll never
be socially acceptable (she never eats them!); you're far more
important than the waiter who looks down his nose because
you're only ordering a salad.

10. You're more important than all those friends who exert peer
pressure to get you to help them devour a pizza, and you're
even more important--for these purposes--than those
members of your family who exert that subtle and
not-so-subtle pressure on you to return to your old ways of
eating. It's your body, it's your life. And this is your book,
designed especially to help you maximize both your body's
abilities and aesthetics, so that you can enjoy your life to the
maximum!
