DIET prompts for the desired rate of weight loss or gain, current weight,
weight goal, caloric intake, and achieved exercise.  It then provides an
analysis of your weight trend.

It assumes a reference specific metabolic rate of 13 Cal/day/lb (corresponding
to a very sedentary day.)  The exercise rates of energy expenditure (premissed
on the rule of thumb of 1 Cal/kg/km for walking or jogging) have been assumed to
be 0.036 Cal/min/lb for (3 mph) walking, 0.050 Cal/min/lb est. for (12 mph)
biking, and 0.072 Cal/min/lb for (6 mph) jogging.  If you have engaged in other
physical activity, you can enter the (estimated) equivalent specific caloric
consumption to one of the above, and enter the prorated time accordingly.

You will be asked whether you wish to enter information regarding the amount of
achieved daily exercise in terms of the time you spent (walking, biking or
jogging), the distance you moved (walking, biking or jogging), or the total
calories you expended in all physical activity.

It is suggested that you respond as follows:

     ENTER					IF
-----------------       -------------------------------------------------------
Time spent..............Your exercise was limited to the indicated
			activities, and you believe that you conformed
			approximately to the above median speeds, or if you
			wish to prorate times for other execises.

Distance moved..........Your exercise was limited to the indicated activities,
			but you moved faster or slower than the above median
			speeds (otherwise, your exercise calories will be
			under or over estimated.)
 
Calories expended.......You believe that you know the caloric equivalent of
			your exercise to a greater precision than will result
			from the above time or distance measures.
