Very good book to remind parents about the common sense of healthy eating for the whole family. Childhood obesity is a family problem not the child's problem alone. This book is a great resource for parents who need help in guiding their child's education of food. Help them make healthy choices without it being a burden or the focus of their lives.

Ludwig advocates eating foods with a low glycemic index. Book contains sensible advice for beginning a family weight loss program. Gives instructions for 9-weeks, each focusing on certain eating and activity behaviors. Also includes a lot of recipes. His food ideas are more normal, i.e. include meat, oils, some dairy, etc.

Awesome book about food and how to help kids/teens eat better. I read it because I work with teenagers who eat like crap. This gave me some great ideas to work with them and not against them.

Good real life ideas for parents with overweight children, or trying to just have a healthier plan for their kids. Glycemic Index an integral part of this life style. Vegetarian options also.

I liked this book, but would have preferred that it also deal with kids who are not obese. Even though it didn't have exactly the focus I was looking for I got a lot out of it.

Interesting info about following a low glycemic index diet, thought mostly geared toward parents (and not vegan), I'm finding it useful.
