Diet for the Sports-Minded Male uses sports strategies, concepts, and motivational techniques to transform dieting into an invigorating challenge similar to that of training for a sport. The diet is designed to mimic a typical sports season complete with a training camp and an off-season. Specific dieting skills and diet changes are practiced during training camp, one at a time. After proper preparation, the season begins and the dieter attempts to put it all together. The season is followed by the well deserved off-season when the dieter can relax and enjoy his accomplishments while restoring motivation for the following season.
