Weight maintenance is a physiological problem, not psychological, maintains gastroenterologist Peikin, director of the Jefferson Nutrition Program at Philadelphia's Jefferson Medical College, where this diet was developed. The goal is to increase the body's production of cholecystokinin or CCK, a hormone affecting appetite control. By eating a ""satietizer'' composed mainly of fat and protein, the dieter's body begins to produce CCK; and when embarking on the small main course 2030 minutes later, the dieter already is starting to experience the sensation of ``fullness.'' The remaining part of the diet is based on calorie restrictions (1200 daily for women and 1300 for men) and exercise options.
