The one thing more difficult than following a REGIMEN is not imposing it on others.

WORD ORIGIN
Regimen was borrowed from the Latin regimen – rule, guidance, government – which comes from regere, meaning to rule. While regimen can mean any type of systematic plan, conventional use of the word typically refers to a health, exercise or dietary plan. In other words, wellness…
By the way, those wishing to shed a little of that winter fat can choose from a wide range of plans and systems. A search for diet books on Amazon.com returns more than 200,000 results, exercise around 375,000 and health more than 490,000 hits. It seems everyone has the magic formula guaranteed to get you back into that bikini by the time summer holidays roll around.
There are no lack of diet plans, some which simply contain common sense advice, some which offer innovative ideas and some that appear downright dubious. One of the most publicised and controversial diet concepts was developed by the now deceased American cardiologist Dr. Robert Atkins.
His approach, outlined in his best-selling book Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, is based on the theory that restricting carbohydrates – the body’s preferred source of energy – prompts it to burn fat instead. Although many medical experts claim the Atkins diet is unhealthy, true to the title of the book it kicked off a revolution that inspired millions to exchange bread, potatoes, rice and noodles for a protein-laden diet of steak, eggs and cheese. While the plan has its advocates and its detractors, the book has sold more than 10 million copies and made Dr. Atkins both rich and a household name.
We discovered another diet book we like merely because of the title:
Moses Wasn’t Fat, A Biblical Guide to Health and Fitness. Written by Tom Ciola (self-professed athlete, entrepreneur, natural health advocate, Bible scholar, humanitarian and family man), the book claims to be "one of the best diet books to come along in many years. No quackery, no gimmicks, no unhealthy diet programs. Just sound weight loss and health-building advice straight from the pages of the Bible. It’s not just a diet – it’s a lifestyle."
Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons to consider this spiritual wellness plan comes in the form a question that the author poses himself: If carbohydrates and fats are so bad for us, why did God put them in so many foods? For the answer to that question, you need only send Mr. Ciola $19.95.
