With beach season in full swing, readers are sweating over ways to fight summertime flab. This week's big movers cash in: Sugar Busters! (465,000 in print, 10 pressruns) zoomed to the top of the nonfiction list after the authors appeared on Dateline NBC, and Marilu Henner's Total Health Makeover leapfrogged eight spots to snag the No. 6 slot. ''It's important to pay attention to consistency, color, frequency, and the ease with which you go,'' Henner advises in a chapter titled ''What's the Poop?'' Whatever: Ten pressruns have produced 122,000 copies.
