Pot Bellies & Thunder Thighs
Research shows that where an individual carries fat is a significant factor in the prediction of risk for heart disease. Bailey explains the physiology of this recent discovery and shows how to do the measurements and math to predict that risk. He also outlines strategies to manage a diet and exercise program to decrease that risk.
Body Fat in America
Bailey describes the difference between overfatness and overweight, why the bathroom scale is obsolete, and how body fat relates to other conditions. Viewers will learn about body fat percentages - what's ideal and what are the extremes.
Height / Weight Charts that Work
Height/weight charts are not very accurate ways to predict optimal weight. Bailey explains how to get body fat tested and how to use the results of that test to calculate ideal weight.

Mistakes Fitness Buffs Make

The Target Diet
For years, dietitians, government agencies, health promotion programs, and a variety of other "experts" have been trying to find a way to teach people how to choose foods wisely. The Target Diet is Bailey's way of categorizing foods so it's easy to get plenty of vitamins, minerals, and fiber while eating less cholesterol, fat, and sugar.
Sugar and Other Carbohydrates
It can be confusing to be told, on one hand, that we need to eat more carbohydrates, and on the other hand, we eat too much sugar. Bailey explains how plants make carbohydrates, the role of fiber in our diet, and how to balance carbohydrate consumption.
Steroids, Cholesterol and Other Fats
We are constantly admonished to lower dietary cholesterol and avoid fat. But how do we do that properly? Bailey describes the difference between saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats; tells how cholesterol and other body fats, including steroids, are made, used, and stored by the body; and provides guidelines for monitoring the fat in our diet.
