Dаve аnd his wife Cаrrie Dave, 48 years оld (5’10”, 210 pоunds), is wоrried of health risks as he is aging, such as cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. His total cholesterol is 210. He is thinking about getting a DNA test and then googling diets related to his results so he can prevent getting a chronic disease. He works as an office manager and relaxes by watching TV. Carrie (height 5'5", weight 138 pounds, post-menopausal) also works full time and does not have time to exercise. Because both Carrie and Dave work, they eat out often, they like the taco food truck and getting burgers at the local chain restaurant. “Milk is too expensive,” says Carrie, so they usually drink bottled water or soda pop with meals. They eat a lot of meats and refined/enriched grains – pasta, rice, and bread with margarine and jam. They eat little produce because of concerns about pesticide residues, and they always feel overwhelmed and confused when shopping for groceries. They’ve heard about a new food irradiation process, and they are against it because they don’t want to eat radioactive food. They also heard that foods with omega-3 fats are supposed to be healthy, but they are skeptical about so-called “good fats.”
Megаn Dаve аnd Carrie's Daughter Dave and Carrie’s daughter Megan is a seniоr in high schооl and lives at home (age 18). She is 5’7” tall and weighs 140 pounds. She thinks she would look better if she were thinner by about 15 pounds. She often tried fasting to lose weight, but found that it didn’t work – she liked eating too much to stop eating so often. She felt discouraged each time she failed again at dieting. Eventually she discovered that she could eat a lot of foods that tasted really good and then induce vomiting. She discovered that after eating and vomiting, life always looked better.
