Handy for monitoring the progress of dieting and exercise, this device measures body fat by emitting a beam of infrared light. Because muscle absorbs light and fat reflects it, the monitor records the amount of the light reflected back, calculates the percentage of fat in the body part being scrutinized, and instantly displays the result on a LCD screen. It will also recall from its memory a users previous reading. Programmable by age, height, weight, and gender, the monitor compares a users results to the standard minimum/maximum range of body fat for others with those factors. It operates on one 9-volt battery (included), weighs just 2.9 ounces, measures 4 by 2 by 1.6 inches, comes in a padded travel/storage case, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss
The verdict is in: those simple carbs weve been living on are killing us. For good health, weve got to get our blood sugar under control and stop the incessant cravings. Or so says Dr. Arthur Agatston, author of The South Beach Diet. The first half of the book details the science behind the diet. Most of the explanations revolve around why things you thought were healthy—-orange juice, wheat toast, carrots—-are actually evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston created a modified carbohydrate plan, recommending plenty of high-fiber foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting bread, rice, pastas, and fruits. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a serious indifference to exercise. Feeling full while on a diet is a bea..
