Helping Your Child Lose Weight the Healthy Way

Więcej o książce

"Helping Your Child Lose Weight the Healthy Way is the first book to offer concerned parents weight-loss solutions for children that won't stunt their growth or damage their self-esteem." "Like every parent, you want to spare your youngster the consequences of being overweight - the cruel teasing by other children, the poor self-image, the future health hazards. Unfortunately, most parents have no idea how to help. And failed attempts often make the problem worse, contributing to additional weight gain or a more serious eating disorder, as anorexia or bulimia." "Dieting doesn't work any better for children than it does for adults. So, instead of a diet, the authors provide you with strategies to help your children outgrow their extra weight, while building lifelong, healthy attitudes about food and fitness." "With twenty years' experience teaching nutrition and weight loss, Judith Levine, R.D., M.S., shares her formula for success. Written in a friendly, upbeat style in collaboration with Linda Bine, Helping Your Child Lose Weight the Healthy Way offers practical steps that can be easily adapted to fit any family's lifestyle."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
