The Diet for Teenagers Only

I'm 14 and I got this book after finding out that diets like Weight Watchers and South Beach are not for teens. I read the whole thing on a sick day from school and it taught me how to find good portions are and how to read a nutritian lable on foods. It also taught me how to loose weight safe and with helpful tips for exercise and diet. This book is the best thing for teenagers looking to loose weight or just learn how to eat healthier! I have only been on it for 2 weeks and have already lost 7 lbs!

This is the best diet book ever for teens!! It's great because it really stresses not to use "fad diets" or resort to starving yourself, binging and purging, etc. It's also catered to teen girls only, with great sections like "eat this, not that" for the lunch room, vending machines, restaurants, and so on. The only problem is that the diet is REALLY strict, although it, luckily, does not cut a food group. Really helpful are the food diary pages, the special tricks, and the page of monthly measurements. I'm so motivated now to lose my 10 lbs.!! I haven't started the diet yet, but I am tomorrow! I can't wait to look awesome for bikini season!!

Although I am not a teenager I found this book very helpful (I did have to go on line to calculate my bmi, however). I didn't want to go on a fad diet, and I wanted to read something in an interesting format. This book teaches you to eat healthy for life and most importantly it helps you understand portion sizes. Unlike so many fad diets, it gives you the knowledge you need to make wise choices in the real world of food and drink (what to do when faced w/a plate of cookies?). The format is easy to read and understand. Again, I am not a teenager, but a young Mom. It has helped me already lose 1/3 of my goal post-baby weight. It teaches you to eat healthy, eat healthy amounts, and have a healthy lifestyle (excercise, etc). I love the fact that it has several pages that give actual sized, color examples of the serving size of pizza, muffin, fruit, mac and cheese, etc. I have definitly used the pizza cut out several times!

This book blew me away, i saw it in USA Today and got it from you guys...and after reading it just feelso much smarter. I've been on lots of diets, like Atkins, South Beach and never really liked being on them--this book is so smart, because it deals with portion control, so I feel like I'm not deprived. I just eat smaller amounts and I love getting all the information about what's happening to me and why need to take care of my body. Plus the book doesn't sound like a lecture. yeah! this is a good one...

I'm using my Dad's email to write and let you know this is a great book. I'm 13 and was wondering if I should lose some weight. This book has helped me feel better about myself. I also have a plan now and know how to eat better. thanks
