 GS> I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned WEIGHT CONTROL for 
 GS> people disabled as adults.
     
        A proper diet will prevent weight gain in most
individuals even those in wheelchairs.  If you eat like a pig
then expect to gain weight.  If you eat a sensible diet then you
can maintain a sensible weight.

        For example, a light breakfast of tea and a waffle with
jelly.  Lunch can be any fruits or raw vegetables with a diet
soda.  Dinner is whatever you want in reasonable portions and
without evening snacks and deserts.  Total calories for the day
should be about 3000.

        For further information see my cookbook for the disabled
coming in the Fall.
