Weight Loss Confidential

Weight Loss ConfidentialHow Teens Lose Weight and Keep It Off — and What They Wish Parents Knew

0-618-43366-X • $26.00 U.S.

Publication date: January 2007

Foreword by Holly Wyatt, M.D., University of Colorado Health Sciences Center

Weight Loss Confidential is the first book written from the perspective of young people who succeeded at losing weight and keeping it off — one that’s based on firsthand accounts from teens and their parents about what works and what doesn’t for weight management. Using the approach that made her previous books bestsellers, Fletcher conducted in-depth surveys and interviews with more than one hundred formerly overweight teens from all walks of life who lost weight in healthy ways. Her findings are interwoven with those from scientific literature, plus advice from leading experts in the field.

The book addresses practical and controversial aspects of weight management for young people — motivation, turning points, self-monitoring, dieting, body image, realistic goal setting, sabotage, support, exercise, choosing a weight program, healthy eating for maintenance, mindful eating, relapse, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and the role parents play in the process (both helpful and harmful strategies).
