You Test Take Out the Tape Some people haven't stepped on a scale since Laverne & Shirley played prime time. And that's a good thing. For our purposes, you don't need to know how much you weigh (but if you want to check you progress on this program, then go ahead and peek). All you need is a tape measure. Measure the circumference of your waist at the point of your belly button, and record the score here. (Depending on how your weight is distributed, you may need to make an adjustment to where you place the tape. If you're obese, keep the tape measure parallel to the floor during measurement.) YOUR

SIZE:____________ For optimum health, the ideal waist size for women is 32 1/2 inches; once you hit 37 inches, the dangers to your health increase. For men, the ideal is 35 inches, and dangers to your health increase once you hit 40 inches. While we're going to emphasize waist over weight in this book, we also know that many of you won't be able to resist the siren of the scale. When it comes to actual weight, you do need to stop thinking about one specific number. (I want to get down to one hundred thirty.") All of us have an ideal playing weight-not a weight for running marathons or making All Pro linebacker or posing for an airbrushed-anyway centerfold. This ideal playing weight is a range in which you live lean and healthy, and one in which you significantly reduce the risks of aging diseases associated with being overweight (more on all of this in Part

2).

Everyone is raving about the all-new beta.
