Losing Weight Permanently with the Bull’s Eye Food Guide uses a traffic light’s color key of red, yellow, and green and the simple image of a target as a graphic, easy to remember way to think about food, exercise and lifestyle choices.. It offers

• a guided self-assessment of your current dietary habits and your personal metabolism.
