Minneapolis Star Tribune:
A new book for teenagers and their parents describes what
works, and what doesn't, in motivating weight loss...Here's a suggestion:
If you think your child is ready, leave Fletcher's book lying around
the house.
Long
Island Newsday: "Read
Worthy: How-to Book of the Week"
What's refreshing about this book is that it doesn't waste a
lot of time dissing other diet plans or touting itself as a dietary
magic bullet. In fact, it's not a diet plan at all. Rather, Fletcher's
focus is on the sensible habits young people adopted to reach and
maintain their weight-loss goals….teen voices, sharing anecdotes
and advice, bring it back to earth and make it both readable and
relatable. Parents engaged in that delicate dance between supporting
and nagging will appreciate the tips for ensuring their good intentions
don't backfire.
