 ShapeWorks™
is modeled on the research-based and clinically tested
theories and philosophies of David
Heber, M.D., Ph.D. As founding
Director of the UCLA Center for
Human Nutrition *, Dr. Heber has
documented the importance of using
an individualized plan to achieve
healthy weight loss.
Dr. Heber's research confirms the
importance of lean, low-calorie
protein for weight loss. "The key is
matching the protein in your diet to
the protein in your body," says Dr.
Heber. "Meal replacements are ideal
for achieving this goal." To learn
more, pick up Dr. Heber's exciting
new book, "The L.A. Shape Diet."

The author of What Color is Your Diet?, Heber has an impressive resume: founding director of the
UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, professor of medicine and public health, and the founding chief
of the Division of Clinical Nutrition in the Department of Medicine at UCLA. If his previous book was
based on the colors of visually appealing fruits and vegetables, his follow-up continues to take
looks into account—this time of actual dieters. Proceeding from the extremely L.A.-friendly premise
that "your personal shape determines a desirable amount and location of body fat for health and
your happiness," Heber offers Body Mass Index tables for figuring out what type one is
("sarcopenic"? "over muscular overweight"?) and what one’s corresponding protein intake should
be. The "14-Day" part of the plan recommends that the first week’s meals consist of "Shake-Shake-
Meal!," or protein-enhanced shakes for breakfast and lunch, and a simple dinner of some lean fish
or fowl and salad. Along the way, Heber tells readers "what is wrong with ‘No-Carb’ diets once and
for all." He recommends a protein intake of "twice what is now recommended by government
advisory groups," for which there are plenty of shake and supplement variations, described in an
upbeat if somewhat brief (but never terse) manner. Recipes and exercise regimes round things out.
Carefully grounded in research and in his experience treating obesity and nutrition issues, Heber’s
plan is a protein-enhanced Atkins alternative that may particularly appeal to vegetarians.
