Best book on nutrition for the family.

I purchased this book several years ago and I continually open it to get my kids back on track. It is simply the best nutritional guide for kids on the market. I have read many nutritional books and this one far surpasses them all. The only thing that I find wrong with the book is the title. It is misleading. The book is less about weight control and more about information a family needs to know about living a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition. The great part about Klein's writing is how he deals with the effects of eating unhealthful has on the mind of our children. In a time when we are in a hurry to label our kids as having A.D.D. and pumping them full of drugs, this book is a welcome relief. It deals with children's behavior as effected through bad nutrition. The greatest thing about this book is the responsibility it puts on parents also living a healthy lifestyle and lead through example. Even though Klein doesn't put it as bluntly as myself, our kids are getting more and more unhealthy and we are to blame. This book is a must buy for your kids if you want them to grow up to be healthy individuals. The great thing about Keith Klein as a writer is that he sticks to the facts and doesn't preach his knowledge. It is just great information given to you in black and white. Most people don't know that Keith Klein has been a consultant to many books or programs written on Nutrition including most of Bill Phillips' "Eating for Life" books.

What a great book, no dieting just healthy eating!

My mother bought this for me to use for my daughter. I hated the thought of a "dieting" 10 year old, but this book helped to stress exercising and good alternative nibbling. Teaching not only my daughter but myself how to understand about nutritious meals. It explained how our body uses fats in such an understandable way. My daughter knows that she is feeling better eating a little differently than she has in the past with the added bonus of her parents feeling more active than we had in years.
