Extremely useful resource for my family

This book has been an extremely useful resource for my family. "Food for Thought" and "Recipe for Success" highlight boxes made this book very easy reading to skim through and eye-opening stories about real people made it a book I read from cover to cover. I refer to the corresponding web site regularly. It is a real asset for my family's use of the book's eight-week plan to reduce our weight.

A Must Get Book!

I was able to read this book before it came out to the public and do the program layed out in the back. I have to say, it is OUTSTANDING! This book was my last resort before giving up all together. My husband, son and I are all way overwieght and have been on the diet rollercoaster for years. I really was scared for my son, being only 6 years old, I felt it was up to me to get things under control. This book is not like anything you will ever read when it comes to diets. It dosent tell you to stop everything and eat just grass! It is laid out to where you do things a little at a time, like the first week all you just reduce the the amount of fast food you would normaly get, along with switching from a large plates to a small one. I am proud to say that by the end of the 8 week, we as a family lost 28 pounds, dont eat red meat, or drink caffeine at all, and have reduced our TV time,weeat as a family and we are much more active! If you want to save your childs life, and the heart ache of being overwieght or you want to improve your own life through better habits, All I can Say is GET THIS BOOK!! It will make a world of difference.

The Most Important Book I have read in years.

If you have children or are planning to, you must read this book. The authors attack the issues head-on and lay out a plan for helping your kids and yourself live a happier, healthier life. I would recommend it to anyone, but it is a must if you have children!

For The Children's Sake!

Looking around us in stores, schools, parks, we certainly can see that we are a country that is well fed. Not only are adults well above their recommended weight, but unfortunately our children are following their lead. In this work the authors point out that one in four American children is overweight. That is alarming! How can we sit back knowing that their future holds many problems and do nothing about it? The authors pen this work in what I call down to earth talk. They lay the facts on the line, give the true outcome if the problem is not corrected and then give solutions to turn things around. They give an overall pattern of recovery that the entire family can easily live with and benefit from. Their advice is medically sound and easy to follow and may at times step on a few parents toes, but the pain is well worth the child being healthy again. Anyone who is concerned about the future of their child, their health and well-being, should read this book. Very well done
