Book excerpt: Each year the quality of life of hundreds of thousands of men deteriorate as their lives are incapacitated by stroke, heart failure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity. It doesn't have to be like that. The 16-week Fat Old Man (FOM) Program provides a "do more, eat less" approach to reverse that downward spiral of incapacitation for men who have been sedentary for twenty, thirty, and maybe even forty years. With only a few easy changes, the FOM Guide helps men recapture the energy and vitality of health without giving up the foods that they normally eat. The FOM Guide gives those men another chance to enjoy a longer, fuller, more rewarding life. This second edition provides a greater variety of physical activity options and nutritional information that makes the FOM Program easier, more flexible, and more successful than the original.ABOUT THE AUTHORDr. Marc Bonis has a Ph.D. in exercise physiology.
