Plot Summary of The Perfect Fit Diet
": The Customized Science-Based Plan for Your Genes, Tastes, and Lifestyle
. M.D.
Rodale, 2004, 24.95, 357 pp.
ISBN: 1579546986

In her work trying to help obese patients, Dr. Sanders evaluated over 700 diets with the understanding that THE PERFECT FIT DIET needed a method to individualize to the user. She sought to ascertain why none worked universally, but some assisted subpopulations. Dr. Sanders found underlying parameters for those that had success with a specific subpopulation. Thus, this self help book requires the medical history of the individual and immediate family like parents and siblings, heritage, lifestyle, and amount and type of exercise. Converting this data into a personal assessment tool Dr. Sanders provides a step by step approach to selecting the best diet for the individual starting with a doctor providing a blood chemistry analysis, and a weekly journal focused on food intake and exercise performed. Step three is filling out a questionnaire. The results enable the audience to choose a valid and reliable diet to meet a realistic goal, according to the author.
