Few diets have a lasting effect and some can cause serious physical and psychological damage, explains the ministry's new 16-page booklet called "Healthy Weights -- A New Way of Looking at Your Weight and Health." To look good and feel healthy and energetic, the booklet recom- mends healthy eating combined with healthy physical activity as an alternative to dieting. The booklet tells how to set and achieve realistic goals for manag- ing weight, and recommends peo- ple be concerned about their weight only if it puts them at risk of developing health problems such as anemia, depression or heart disease.

Mara Komuvesh, nutrition con- sultant with the ministry's public alth branch said a Health and Welfare Canada survey found 70 percent of women with acceptable weights still wanted to lose weight and 23 percent of underweight women wanted to weigh even less. The healthy weights concept recognizes there is no one ideal weight for everyone of the same height because people have dif- ferent body shapes and frames. Instead, there is a range of weights that are healthy for a cer- tain height. For example, a muscular or big-framed person might be at the top end of the healthy weight range and a tiny Erk" person with a small frame at the bottom. The booklet, which is directed to adults aged 20 to 65, includes a scientific measure anyone can use to figure out if she or he is overweight, underweight or at an acceptable healthy weight. Ms. Komuvesh said making small gradual changes in our eating habits and doing some form of physical activity we can live with day in and day out is the only effective way to get to and stay at a healthy weight. "People who diet repeatedly lose weight more slowly and put it back more quickly, and every time we diet and fail we set ourselves up for more frustration and guilt," she added. The booklet profiles three types of dieters (overweight, healthy weight and underweight), describes the pitfalls of dieting, outlines ways to improve eating habits, and suggests how to match physical activities to lifestyles and how to psych up for success, with attitude making a big difference.
