Richard Simmons' Move, Groove and Lose Plan

Created by: Richard Simmons

Richard Simmons' Move, Groove and Lose Plan incorporates daily motivational tips, on-line chats on his website (richardsimmons.com), aerobic exercise videos and an eating plan called the Food Mover plan. Food Mover is modeled on the American Diabetes Association exchange system, basing individual calorie needs on sex, starting weight and goal weight. The Food Mover plan helps track protein, starch, fruit and vegetable, dairy, fat and ''extra'' food intake; it also encourages drinking water, daily exercise and regular positive motivation. The Food Mover plan includes all food groups and is designed for a steady weight loss of one to two pounds a week. It is a life-time eating and exercise program designed to promote optimal weight and good cardiac health.
