AnyBODY can lose weight; but at what ex-
pense, both physically and emotionally?
The unique, 6-week TAKE-OFF! Weight Re-
duction Program, authored by Gary R.
Pierce, M.D., consists of small group
meetings which provide supportive instruc-
tion and instill motivation. A realistic and
medically sound food strategy is pre-
sented. Participants gain psychological in-
sight into the problem of overeating.
Stress management is taught in order to
help individuals who overeat because of
tension. Periodic computer analysis of your
own body composition allow for effective
monitoring of your progress.
