Advance Praise For Weight Loss Confidential:"This pioneering look at how teens succeed at managing their weight will inspire and motivate your entire family to embrace healthy habits." — Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., Author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan & Professor of Nutritional Sciences, Penn State University "A must-read book for teens and their parents. This is the first book to provide practical, proven strategies to help teens address their excess weight." — James O. Hill, Ph.D., Author, The Step Diet Book, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center "Eye opening and useful. I believe that the strategies described in this book can help many others who need and want to succeed. It's a book that provides hope and genuine possibilities to millions of children and adolescents." — From the Foreword by Holly Wyatt, M.D., University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and Program Director-CORE "Inspiring, informative, engaging, Weight Loss Confidential is a must-read for teens who are struggling with their weight and the adults in their lives. Anne Fletcher has a gift for weaving accurate, up-to-date scientific information with real life stories; she lets the voices of the teens be heard so that they can share their wisdom about the keys to losing and keeping weight off in a healthy, balanced way." — Nancy Sherwood, Ph.D., psychologist and adolescent researcher, Health Partners Research Foundation, Minneapolis, MN "I love this book. The stories of the teens' struggles and successes with weight management are a highlight. I can't wait to share this book with my teen clients who are trying to lose weight." — Kerri Boutelle, Ph.D., adolescent weight and eating disorders expert, University of Minnesota "If I had to pick one book to help a teen, parent, or physician address teen weight issues — it would definitely be Anne Fletcher's latest book, Weight Loss Confidential. To read these courageous stories of previously-heavy teens is to get an appreciation of what the weight struggle is really about AND to feel comfortable about what one can do to help teens who struggle with weight." — Helen M. Seagle, MS, RD, Program Director, Weight Management, Kaiser Permanente — Colorado "At last, a wonderful book about achieving and maintaining healthy weights, filled with sensible strategies that really work for teens and their families. In a world where healthy weight management seems impossible for so many — and research into what's effective is so lacking — it's rare to find a book like this one with true stories of teens who figured out ways to achieve success. It's a must-read for teens wanting to be healthy." — John Foreyt, Ph.D., Director, Behavioral Medicine Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX "Anne Fletcher's excellent 3-tiered approach works again. First, the voice of teens who lost weight — what they did and how they felt. Then, the top tips that worked, with examples, summarized by topic. Finally, neatly woven throughout, reference to expert research support for their methods. Engaging, authoritative, and above all hopeful, Weight Loss Confidential is for young people (and their parents) seeking the life style — and new life — that goes with a healthy weight. " — Sharron Dalton, PhD, RD, Author of Our Overweight Children & Associate Professor, New York University "The teen voices in this book provide sensible and realistic guidance for other teens who are ready to take charge of their health and embark on permanent lifestyle change. Parents and anyone who works with teens to address weight loss should take advantage of this opportunity to peek inside the minds of the teen contributors to hear what has worked and how the adults in their lives can be most helpful." — Julie N. German, Ph.D., Clinical Director, FitMatters Weight Control Program, La Rabida Children's Hospital, Chicago "This book offers hope and help to both children and parents. I look forward to recommending it to families who are struggling with obesity. Anne Fletcher effectively and courageously walks the line between 'dieting' and 'nondieting' approaches for overweight teens." — Ann S. Litt, MS, RD, nutritionist, Washington Redskins and author of The College Student's Guide to Eating Well on Campus |
