Self-Help Diet
Despite the alarming
rise in teen obesity and the serious health problems
associated with
it, talking about weight loss with children is still often
considered
taboo. Many experts think it leads to further weight gain or
triggers
eating disorders. But when her son finally lost more than
sixty pounds
after years of struggle, the award-winning health journalist
Anne
Fletcher wondered whether other teens had made similar
turnarounds and,
if so, what role their families played. Using the approach
that has
made her previous books bestsellers, she conducted in-depth
surveys and
interviews with more than 100 young people across the United
States and
Canada who had lost as much as 100 pounds in a healthful way and
maintained that loss. Based on firsthand accounts from teens
and their
families and bolstered by the latest studies, "Weight Loss
Confidential" shows that the problems teens confront when
losing weight
are quite different from those faced by adults. It reveals what
strategies helped them lose excess pounds, which tactics can
create a
healthful food environment at home, and which ones backfire.
"Weight
Loss Confidential" is the first book to go to the real
experts on teen
weight loss, teens themselves. Like "Thin for Life", it
contradicts
conventional thinking and gives hope to millions of young
people and
their families.
