It is a medically proven program that balances sensible, good-for-you foods with a variety of treats and is easy to follow. It has helped hundreds of children achieve normal weight and feel good about themselves." "For the health and happiness of your child learn: Why just cutting sweets won't work, the fat-free fallacy and how it fools you, the exercise connection and how it builds self-esteem, realistic goals and how your child can reach them, and a balanced eating plan that will work because it's full of foods kids love, for kids who love food." "Plus: Menus with plenty of choices and a brand name product guide that lists more than 400 snacks and other fun foods that fall within the plan's nutritional guidelines. Success stories that will inspire you to start a Can-Do plan that will help your child control weight, look better, and feel great!"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
