[.ca] Trim Kids(tm): The Proven 12-Week Plan That Has Helped ... (ISBN 0060188154)

Most Highly Recommended:
With obesity being a national problem particularly among children all across the United States it's high time that a book like this has finally come out that addresses this problem. The authors are people with years of clinical experience working with over-weight children, helping them with a workable diet plan, exercise program & moral support so that they can make a healthy transition into adulthood. I can't recommend this book highly enough!

More Than Pleased!:
I cannot express my sincere thanks enough to the authors of Trim Kids for the success my child has had on this program. The diet, the exercise and the behavior modification truly work. My daughter, Maci, was classied as clinically obese during the summer of 2000. At age 9, Maci weighed 132 lbs and was wearing adult size clothes. She was teased by other children which was lowering her self esteem. She would breathe heavy and turn red when playing with her friends, during dance classes and when playing sports. We tried monitoring what she ate, when, how much, etc. and had her enrolled in dance classes and sports year round. Maci continued to gain weight. Thanks to the Trim Kids program, Maci has lost 32lbs. Here we are twenty-one months later and Maci is still maintaining her goal weight. She has learned the importance of eating healthy and excercising safely. The results of this program are absolutely remarkable and definitely long term. I highly recommend the program to both overweight children and their parents (I lost 8lbs myself following the program with my daughter). Maci's overall attitude has changed- she is more confident and her self esteem has sky-rocketed. She simply beams with pride. Her face still lights up everytime someone we haven't seen in a while comments on her weight loss and says how nice she looks. When asked how she did it, Maci proudly replies, "I joined Committed to Kids and followed the Trim Kids program". Sincerely, Rhonda Miller

wow!:
I have an overweight child that wasn't doing too good with her weight and Trim Kids help her lose almost 120 pounds in just 12 weeks! If you don't believe me try it for yourself. I also found out that they have extremly good recipes from their book and I use them al the time now. Thank you so much Dr.Melinda, Mrs.Heidi! I know who you are! Thanks!

Not the book I will use:
My daughter is moderately overweight. We watch what we eat in our family and exercise together already. This book was for people who have habbits that obviously need fixing. This will not really help us. Also, I found the format annoying in that the excercises were spread out over each week, the recipes were spread out over each week, etc. I prefer all of the recipes in one chapter and all the exercises in one chapter, etc. If you really were asleep during health class or you don't know how to exercise and eat, this book has good suggestions. Otherwise, it might not be the book for you.
