I agree with you. I think the book is from January, 1991 so I don't think we can blame the author much as it wasn't as widely known. (I think)

I read the whole thing a while ago. To your point he wants you to weigh yourself every day and then take the weighted running average, while this works well for me when I want to diet, it would be a good way to get most people to have a disorder.
