Engineering a Healthy Body

摘要

These basic chemical engineering principles expose common weight loss myths and show you how to get into better shape efficiently and sustainably. Although many people are turning to expensive fitness professionals, dieticians and nutritionists to help them get into better shape, a chemical engineer has the knowledge and skills to achieve results that are just as good — or even better — without the expensive price tag. This article illustrates how the basic concepts of chemical engineering — mass and energy balances, equilibrium, calorific values, selectivity, measurement and control — can be applied to the challenge.
