Editorial Reviews:

The four videos in this boxed set are full of goofy jokes, wacky facial expression, and lots of laughter. Believe it or not the subjects being discussed are diets and serious issues of body chemistry. Covert Bailey, an author and ebullient advocate of exercise, provides a great deal of information in these programs, which have aired on PBS. He's not afraid to rant about "butt fat and belly fat," yet he can also turn to a presentation board and sketch molecular diagrams that show how the body's muscles burn calories. These videos may seem puzzling at first because they are ostensibly about exercise yet never actually show an exercise routine. The emphasis is on how the body works, right down to the cellular level. Someone contemplating a program to shed weight could learn a great deal about how particular foods are used by the body and thereby know which foods to avoid. Specific topics covered include how to evaluate one's body type in order to set responsible reducing goals, what metabolism is and how that affects weight loss, and the specific dangers of "fad diets" that emphasize an unbalanced approach. Bailey's jokes and constant mugging to the camera presents an odd contrast to the often serious subject matter, but he manages to make the material entertaining and easy to remember. --Robert J. McNamara
