Weight-control Information Network (WIN!)
Editor's note. This archived page introduced the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), the NIDDK service that published plain-language brochures on weight control, obesity, nutrition, and physical activity, and listed the titles recommended to LABS participants. Most of the brochure files were not captured by the Internet Archive; the Weight Cycling brochure survives and is linked below.
