Self-Help Health
As an endocrinologist at Harvard, Dr. David Ludwig pioneered
the use of a low-glycemic diet in combating obesity. His
groundbreaking research is the basis for some of the most
successful diets of the last decade, including the South
Beach Diet and SugarBusters. Ten years ago, Dr. Ludwig
founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program at
Children's Hospital Boston. There, he and his team tailored
his low-glycemic diet for children and combined it with a
nine-week progressive plan that benefits the patient and the
entire family. Dr. Ludwig wins parents' trust but also
offers hope to their children, who often feel teased,
bullied, and defeated. This scientifically proven approach
addresses, for the first time, all three key factors
affecting body weight -- biology, behavior, and environment
-- and integrates them into a powerful prescription for
weight loss. Dr. Ludwig compassionately recognizes the
challenges children and their parents face in today's fast
food/fake food world and guides them from conflict to
cooperation along the road to health. In Ending the Food
Fight, Dr. Ludwig shares his program with parents
everywhere, giving them all the tools they need to help
their children win the food fight, once and for all.
