BOOKS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AUDIOVISUAL KIT AND MANUAL Food, Fitness, and Your Lifestyle, Lin- ton, B., et aI., 1985. From the Pennsyl- vania State University, Audiovisual Services, Special Services Bldg., Uni- versity Park, PA 16802, videotapes (2) and a leader's and training manual, $435. Looking for an easy, organized, pro- fessional weight control program to provide to clients without the hassle of developing one on your own? At a one time cost you can receive a complete program that will require very little preparation time on your part. This eight week program was devel- oped by R.D.s. Topics include goal set- ting, calorie sources, exercise, new habits, eating out, and how to continue with your success. The 81 page Instruc- tor's Manual has detailed information on how to conduct the program and how much time to give to each activity and handout. Videotapes are played at each session, and vary in length from 7 to 21 minutes. Handouts can be copied for the participants and background reading materials and resources are cited for each session. Evaluation mate- rials are also included. The video format is effective, and the content is excellerit. However, a more effective presenter could have been chosen, and the distraction of the re- flection of light from his glasses should have been avoided. Scenes in the video were appropriate for the topic (exercise session was on the ballfield, social eat- ing at a party) although there could have been better use made of the food products in the grocery store scenes. There are many suitable sites for this program, including hospitals, health departments, schools, adult education programs, and corporations. The Train- ing Manual is available to teach other health professionals to conduct this program.

Recipes for two demonstration foods are also in- cluded. "Introduction to Foodstyle" covers the Dietary Guidelines, major food groups, and weight goals. Participants self-test nutrition habits and knowl- edge. "Foodstyle and Weight Control" describes the weight/health relation- ship, energy balance, and weight con- trol techniques, and teaches portion control. "Foodstyle for Controlling Fat, Carbohydrates, and Sodium" also dis- cusses cholesterol, starch, sugar, and fiber. "Foodstyle/Lifestyle" covers rec- ipe modification and restaurant dining. The program content in the manual may be overly ambitious. The lecturer will need to zip right along with little discussion time in order to complete the material within an hour, particu- larly if participants are weighed at each session. Group leaders may wish to omit some pre-registration procedures. An advi- sory committee and gathering sensitive participant information seem unneces- sary for a 4 hour program. Overall, this manual is a time and la- bor saver. Even for those who prefer to do their own preparation, the manual provides a base to modify.
