Book Description
Parents will do almost anything to get their kids to eat healthier, but unfortunately, they've found that begging, pleading, threatening, and bribing don't work. With their patience wearing thin, parents will "give in" for the sake of family peace, and reach for "kiddie" favorites--often nutritionally inferior choices such as fried fish sticks, mac n' cheese, Pop-sicles, and cookies.
Missy Chase Lapine, former publisher of Eating Well magazine, faced the same challenges with her two young daughters, and she sought a solution. Now in The Sneaky Chef, Lapine presents over 75 recipes that ingeniously disguise the most important superfoods inside kids' favorite meals. With the addition of a few simple make-ahead purees or clever replacements, (some may surprise you!) parents can pack more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in their kids' foods. Examples of "Sneaky" recipes include:
-No Harm Chicken Parm
-Power Pizza
-Incognito Burritos
-Guerilla Grilled Cheese
-Brainy Brownies
-Health-by-Chocolate Cookies
-Quick fixes for Jell-O(R)
It's a book chock-full of strategies that will help any parent incorporate better health for the whole family.

AWESOME idea and the food actually taste good too!!.......2007-10-11
I LOVE this cookbook!! I have made many of the recipes and they have all been a huge hit with my family. The burgers are fabulous and the sloppy-joes - which I have NEVER liked before - are now one of my favorite meals. You cannot go wrong with this book!! One of my kids is a great eater while the other won't eat veggies for anything. Now, he's eating veggies with almost every meal (w/o knowing it, of course). I have baked things for friends and for my kids' classes ... and everyone loves it!! The only thing we didn't like -- the cupcakes were horrible!! I am going to try to make them again ... I must have done something wrong. There is no way we could love everything else in the book but hate the cupcakes so much. :o)
Wonderful!.......2007-10-10
Two out of my three kids are picky eaters and they ate all of the meals I made from this book! It feels good to know that they are getting added nutrients that they wouldn't normally be eating. It does take extra time to prepare some of these recipes but it is worth it to me if my kids are getting nutritious meals. Great book!
A must have for every parent!.......2007-10-10
I was watching IVillage and the author was a guest speaker. She explained how easy it was to incorporate fruits and vegetables into basic recipes. I thought that was too good to be true but liked the concept. Since both my children are picky eaters I figured I would give it a try so I purchased the book. So far, every recipe I made from the book, they ate and ENJOYED! I even send in the cupcakes/cookies to school on their birthdays instead of sugary snacks (which the teachers love so the kids don't bounce off the walls). I wouldn't call this being sneaky, I would call it being smart! I highly recommend this book.
Very Happy Mom.......2007-10-10
The Sneaky Chef - I'm so glad I found this! I took about a month of weekends to get the freezer stocked with the purees - am using them now. The pbj muffins, the choc choc chip cookies, the tuna (salmon) patties, all hugely successful. My extremely picky child, who doesn't miss a thing, is eating the treats with the mom-approved hidden ingredients.
I used my ice cube trays to freeze the purees, so 2 cubes = 1/4 cup.
I also like it for myself, I won't take the time to prep fresh veggies, especially cauliflower, but now I'm eating better too, using the purees.
I love this book!.......2007-10-10
This is such a great book. I love that the recipes are all child friendly and I think the concept is brilliant! I have learned not only how to make her recipes, but also how to use her techniques for the recipes I already make at home. I found the extra hints and tips to be very informative and helpful and I loved that she used ingredients that are readily accessible and easy to keep on hand. My kids have eaten a ton of extra veggies and they can't even complain because they don't know it!!!
Book Description
Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

The China Study.......2007-10-07
Great book. Have read a few pages and am very interested. Seems like it's going to be a book that many people should read. It was recommended to me by someone in my Sunday School class.
The China Study.......2007-10-05
This is one of the best books on nutrition for the professional and the lay persons.
This book says it all, once and for all.......2007-10-04
I'll keep this short and sweet: stop eating animal food, because animal protein and animal fat in dietary amounts will activate the carcinogens already in your body to produce cancer. Period. Man was *never meant* to consume animal food in the amounts he does, to say nothing about the drugs, antibiotics, hormones and the rest of the crap that the animal food industry laces it with. The sooner you eliminate meat, fish, fowl and dairy from your diet, the better off you and yours will be.
china study - review.......2007-10-04
Read this book - it could save your life. Probably the most important, definitive book on diet and health ever written. It was easy to read, hard to put down. One of our country's senior researchers tells the compelling story of his suprising discoveries and what that means for all of us. Thankyou Dr. Campbell - you've given me and my family a priceless gift.
Needs to be on every book shelf.......2007-09-29
This is the study so many health books reference, and it simply can't be ignored. Dr.Sanjay Gupta mentions it in his book, and there are a host of other ones, mainly about HEALTH not weight, that state that this is an extremely important and pertinent study. So many doctors agreeing on one study tells me to take note, and after reading it, I must say it has changed my thinking on diet and nutrition and health in general.
Dr. Campbell concludes that the most healthy diet is a vegan one by the end of the book. However, that is not to say that even reducing the meat you eat, along with other animal products won't garner significant health benefits. In the last year I have made two diet changes, and this was one of them. I reduced the amount of animal product in my diet, and though I have not completely cut them out, I have seen significant health benefits. My autoimmune symptoms that I have had for years are gone, and I am off of all lupus medication. This is not a scientific study, this is purely anecdotal, but it means a lot to me, and I will continue to pursue reducing animal products in my diet until, perhaps, I am meat/dairy, etc... free. It seems to me that if we are in the grip of any disease, the least we can do is take note of Dr. Campbell's massive study and try changing our diet. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. And, if we are healthy, we might want to do what we can to stay that way.

Customer Reviews:
Not the best sleep book available.......2007-10-10
I purchased this book based on my doctor's recommendation when I mentioned at her 6 month appt that she was waking every 1.5-2hrs. I was completely exhausted. By 7 months I had resorted to sleeping on the floor in her room because I was so tired of walking out of my room to hers. Then eventually she was sleeping with me on a mat on the floor and it was getting so insane! But even with all this craziness she still was not sleeping. So I decided I should do something. This book was extremely confusing and contradictory. It had some good advice as far as keeping a schedule and making sure they nap and go to bed on time, but this is fairly obvious. After reading the book I didn't feel confident in following the advice. So at 8 months old I followed the advice of a friend who recommended Dr Ferber's book and it was WONDERFUL! Much more concise and gave you concrete examples and things to do. I think I liked the idea of set times and a chart to follow. So I would have to say that although this book had some useful info, it was scattered and hard to decipher, the ferber book is much better in my opinion. She is now sleeping from 7pm-7am and just waking once to feed as I have decided to work on that separately and phase it out slowly.
#1 Must have book for parents.......2007-09-29
We have used this book for both babies. Works wonders. Very informative and helpful. Buy it.
Great book.......2007-09-26
Loved this information in this book. It was very helpful, as I am a first time mother. Discusses how to get your baby into a nap cycle and sleep cycle.
healthy sleep guide.......2007-09-25
I borrowed this book from a friend and found it so informative and helpful that I had to get a copy for myself. It's an easy read as well.
Helpful despite extreme wordiness and poor organization.......2007-09-18
This book could be boiled down to 20 pages, but instead you'll have to slog through it to get the invaluable information. The author's main point is that the best thing for baby is to get lots of sleep and for parents to try and follow the baby's natural pattern. Also he recommends the "cry it out" technique after reaching the appropriate age and weight. However, if you cannot emotionally handle this technique he offers some less heavy-handed solutions. Worked well for our kid, but then we've been blessed with an "easy" baby who has never cried more than 20 minutes before nodding off.
From the book we learned that putting a baby to bed earlier can help him sleep longer in the morning. Our guy was sleeping 9 PM - 4 AM, which we stretched to 7 PM - 6 AM in ten days, simply by gradually reducing his bedtime as recommended. He was nearly four months old at the time.
The other amazing thing is that our little guy fell into his own pattern before I even read in the book that it's the normal cycle for 80% of babies. He sleeps 7 PM - 6 AM, takes two 90-120 minute naps at 8 AM and noon, and usually takes a third, half-hour nap in the afternoon. Just like it says in the book. Every baby is different, but it helped to know this was the norm.

Whether this is pregnancy number 1 or number 10, nothing makes it easier to connect with a growing baby than knowing exactly what magical development is happening every day. Filling the need for practical information, medical data, emotional and spiritual fuel, and even "pregnancy trivia," The Pregnancy Journal is easily one of the best books available for a woman or couple expecting a baby. The journal contains about half a page of information for each day from conception through delivery. Nutrition, how to avoid discomforts associated with pregnancy, childbirth customs in other cultures, and practical parenting tips are among the topics touched on. Many days in the journal have a great section called "Did You Know"; for example, from Day 49: "The baby's arms at this point are only as long as this printed 1." At the bottom of each page is a quote from a literary or historical figure; some are sentimental, some pithy, some humorous, all inspiring.
The information and quotes seem to invite musings and speculation on the miracle unfolding inside the womb; there is some space for recording data and thoughts, but if you want to write more than just a few lines every few days, you might want to have a blank journal to accompany The Pregnancy Journal. The format of this book makes it much more manageable and inviting than most books on pregnancy, and the information is made even more accessible by the inclusion of a glossary/subject index in the back. Don't wait until the shower to give this excellent resource and thoughtful gift--moms-to-be will want to have it from the very beginning. --Katherine Ferguson

I love this pregnancy journal!.......2007-10-04
I love this journal - I bought it for myself, and a girlfriend of mine, since I loved it so much! There is info about the baby every day and space to record your own thoughts and progress - lovely!
The Pregnancy Journal.......2007-09-21
This is a beautiful discovery of what happens in a woman's body throughout pregnancy and a wonderful way for you as a couple to bond with your baby. The book takes you through the journey and it is a real discovery.
Favorite Pregnancy Book.......2007-07-07
If you are looking for a blank journal - this isn't the book for you. If you are looking for a way to daily connect with the child growing within your womb - this is the perfect book for you. It was a psychological lifesaver for me. When my back was aching and nausea overwhelmed me I would often go to this book and read and it always reminded me that all the tough times of pregnancy are well worth it! I love the in depth detail on the estimated events that are happening. I realize that we all progress differently so the timing may not be perfect. However, as a nurse I am impressed with the accuracy of the material.
I have two sons and purchased a book during each pregnancy. I love reading through my notes in the books and recalling the sweet (and not so sweet) memories of pregnancy. We are planning on trying for another baby soon and this is the top book on my list! It will be a very special part of each of our children's memory chest.
The Best!.......2007-07-02
I bought this journal in 2000 for my first pregnancy and I bought it again in 2006 for my second. It's very user friendly and has just enough space to write down all the important things you want to remember. I love the day by day explanation of what's going on with my body and the baby. I highly recommend this!
wonderful!.......2007-06-27
Best pregnancy journal around...the day by day details are exciting to read and very informative.

love love love this book!.......2007-10-06
I tried many books, but this one was honest and easy to use. I felt better reading the mayo clinc book after i tried many others, like the famous "what to expect when your expecting".... felt too short in my answers about my body and medical questions. Buy this book and don't waste your time and money with the others. Have a nice journey with your new baby. :)
Really a great resource!.......2007-09-24
This is my first baby, so I am clueless about everything. This book is very informative and has really delivered an education. I can read about what is going on with my baby right now, and what is going on with me! A must-have for any mom to be.
The Best Pregnancy Book Ever.......2007-09-17
I purchased this book on my doctor's recommendation, and it has been, hands down, the most informative book I've read about pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy, so of course I've also read "What to Expect When You're Expecting," along with several other books on pregnancy. The Mayo Clinic Guide is the most reliable and medically accurate book to reference while pregnant. It is much more organized and straight-forward than any of the other books out there. If you're pregnant or considering having a child, make sure you don't miss this book.
Mayo Clinic Pregnancy Guide.......2007-08-29
This has been a very interesting book. It reviews everything from the size of the baby week by week to various forms of testing. The book is broken down in the month by month categories, then specific topics. It's a book that you can read from cover to cover, or just hit the points that are important to you at that moment. I would recommend it for expecting mothers.
Excellent service.......2007-08-28
I received this book very quickly and in perfect condition. Happy to do business w/ you!

Customer Reviews:
Excellent holistic blueprint for health & longevity ...........2007-10-03
Dr. Plasker presents a compelling blueprint for a hundred year lifestyle. Whether or not you seriously have a shot at living to be a centenarian, his advice here on health, diet, fitness and emotional/spiritual well-being makes eminent sense. It is truly a holistic approach to lifestyle and longevity that has merit. Making the book more practical is the fact that it has a number of checklists and each chapter closes with a list of action items for the reader to take. The latter underscores the point that merely reading a book will not improve your lifestyle unless you follow through, act and execute upon it.
Since Dr Plasker himself is a chiropractor, there is a pitch for preventative chiropractic care. His plea here is not over-the-top or in-your-face, however, and is probably well founded.
The author's point is that many lifestyle changes can produce long-term positive results. In many cases, though perhaps not all, certain types of illness are products of lifestyle and tiny diet and fitness decisions made over the course of months and years. Making better fitness and health decisions every day can put extra years in your life and life in your years.
Give It Away.......2007-08-18
Every once in a while a book comes along that is so good that I buy a couple of dozen to distribute to friends and loved ones. This book joins that very exclusive club (FYI my other two frequent giveaways are Dr Judith Orloff's Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love and Cheryl Richardson's The Unmistakable Touch of Grace: How to Recognize and Respond to the Spiritual Signposts in Your Life). This book is that great.
Dr. Eric Plasker has written one of the most powerful health books ever. The power lies in stretching our thinking by making clear that medical science has evolved to the point that living to one hundred has become a realistic possibility, as is having much improved vitality to whatever age we live. Dr. Plasker offers no silver bullets (thankfully!), just a great collection of proven things that we must personally manage if we are to avoid the life threatening stresses that come with the common overindulgent life style.
Many of the points raised by Dr. Plasker are treated at a summary level such that one's health philosophy and strategy must be supplemented by other resources (a point Plasker implicitly acknowledges by his inclusion of a thoughtful resource list at the end of the book). The need to supplement is not to suggest an absence of depth, but instead to suggest that the strength of the book lies in the presentation of a well thought-out, broad based platform for good health.
The true power of this gem is the clarity of the message that we may well live longer than we might think and that we need to manage the totality of our existence so as to maximize the likelihood that our remaining years are healthier. Clearly, other books have made a similar point but none which I have read have gone so far as to suggest things like a 100 year mastermind group (do you belong to such a group [yet]?).
Other reviewers have suggested multiple readings, family readings, etc. They are right on. This book is of the quality to serve as a guidebook for a better life. A guidebook that should be frequently referenced.
Dr. Plasker, you have made a great contribution to mankind with this book. You have done your part. We now have to get the book in the hands of more people, and serve as a personal role model for living the 100 year lifestyle. I, for one, am committed to doing my part.
Living your best life now and years to come.......2007-07-23
Dr. Plasker shows you step by step how to live healthy and plan for your future. The steps are easy. Put these principles in action today and watch your life increase.
great read for all!.......2007-05-24
this is the best book on health and wellness I have seen in a long time. The focus on how to live a healthy drug free life and stay fit is presented clearly and simply.
Douglas Ferguson D.C........2007-05-21
Doctor Plasker's vision for us serves both myself, my family and my patients with a wake up call that even though we may not look forward to it, we could actually live well into ten decades! With my background in the emergency services, I was a Fire Captain and a paramedic, I saw first hand what goes down when people don't live life like they are going to make it to 100. Often on emergency calls to private homes we would have the family get a grocery bag to put all the drugs in because their dying family member was taking so many it was impossible to figure out which one might have contributed positively or negatively to the health crisis that prompted the 911 call. For these people it was mostly too late to change their health habits. Doctor Plasker lays it out step-by-step how you can change your health habits right now to avoid the pitfalls that plague so many in the older generation. Read the book and join us! See you on the beaches!

interesting, informative read.......2007-05-19
I couldn't put this book down. A friend lent me her copy, and I loved it so much I ordered my own before I was even finished reading it. I learned so much about health and beauty and the things around us that drag them down. I have gone on to some of the other books and topics mentioned in this one, and have significantly changed my lifestyle, due largely to the information from Kat's book. I recommend it to any woman who wants to take better care of herself, feel better, and look better. It won't just benefit you; it will benefit all those around you. A fun and easy read--it is definitely worth the money.
Good reference.......2007-05-16
Great book loaded with information on ways to get healthier and think healthier about the way we women look.Fabulous product suggestions. She never leaves you wondering how do i do that or where do i get this?
Excellent Resource.......2007-05-14
Though the first part of the book is somewhat mundane it more than compensates for it in the resouces section. James not only lists the best products for one's diet, skin care, healing specific problems, and anything having to do with good health, but she also lists stores where they may be found complete with addresses. Her listings are impressive and invaluable. The resouces section alone is well worth the price of the book. For anyone who neither reads nor understands labels, this book is a "must have."
A great book that shows health and beauty go hand in hand.......2007-02-02
Even before I read The Truth about Beauty, I already bought a lot of natural and organic products, shopped at health food stores, and used traditional Chinese medicine. But despite being generally attuned to the problems with chemicals, overly processed foods, pharmaceuticals, etc., I still had some blind spots, especially when it came to issues of "beauty." For example, with my skin I was still using the old "search and destroy" method. But this book opened my eyes, and I have had much more success since I gave that up and started following James' advice about fixing the skin from the inside out.
The book does a great job of connecting health with beauty and explains a lot of concepts that even a natural food consumer might not know a lot about. For example, I had always thought of low-carb diets as being a lot of baloney (so to speak), but the way James explains the glycemic index makes total sense. I especially like her idea of "upgrading" and the specific examples she offers, like drinking spritzers instead of soda.
The resource index is also really useful, although some of the products may seem expensive. If you shop at Wal-mart for all your food and toiletries, yes, you will pay more for natural products. But if you buy department store brands like Clinique, you will be able to find plenty within your budget. Also, I find that I use a lot fewer products in general now that I've started following the kind of simple regiment James prescribes.
All in all, I would recommend this excellent book to anyone who has beauty issues.
A life-changing book!.......2007-01-11
I had the great fortune to meet Kat James and hear her speak at the Alive! Expo in Seattle in 11/06. She is as compelling a public speaker as she is an author. She tells her own story in the book, which makes it resonate just that much more strongly. This book, simply put, has changed my life. I followed almost all of Kat's recommendations, and have used the buying guide at the back to replace many of the personal care products I used for years without thinking of the chemicals contained in them. I'm eating organic foods and have lost 25 lbs. since I read this book three months ago. I bought it for several women friends for Christmas, and they're loving it, too. I cannot recommed the book highly enough. Read more at www.informedbeauty.com

Great Ideas for Holidays and Gatherings!.......2007-03-15
The South Beach Diet may have revolutionized how we eat, but when it comes to entertaining, most of us fall back into old food habits. Now there's a no-brainer way to entertain, with recipes and menus that can satisfy the most skeptical guests. Really a winner, and easy to use.
Something that FINALLY works!.......2007-01-20
As long as you have the determination to "stick with it" and lose weight, this program, and this book, will make getting there a breeze! How tough can it be to stay on a diet, when you're allowed to eat all kinds of delicious, "sinful" foods??? For the first time in my life, I am 2 pounds lighter than before the holidays started; and, I didn't have to give up the joy of eating... I highly recommend this book and the program it represents. Recipes are not difficult and the results are most rewarding. Furthermore, you cannot beat the price at Amazon and the book was in my house, two days after I placed the order...
Best Cookbook I Have Ever Bought!.......2007-01-16
This is the first cookbook I have bought where I can see myself actually trying every recipe in it. Dr. Agatston has broken the book into specific holidays and events (Easter, Thanksgiving, Football parties, showers, etc.), but of course feel free to mix and match recipes based on what your preferred tastes are. The recipes that I have tried so far have been easy and delicious. The best part is at the end of every recipe, he tells you what you can prepare ahead of time, from hours before your event to days before your event. Each recipe is labeled as to which phase of the South Beach Diet it pertains, just as in his other books. This cookbook is too good to save just for holidays and parties. I'm planning on using it year-round for my family's everyday meals.

Lifestyle Changer.......2007-10-05
Simply the best thing I've ever done for my body. If you are tired of dieting why not trade in the foods your body can't process for those it can?
I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager (and that's been a few decades). The website is great also.
Right on Target.......2007-08-12
The Eat Right for Your Type Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia is an excellent reference tool. If you are serious about changing your lifestyle for the better, you won't want to pass up this book. It is an easy read with a lot of information. One of the best investments you will ever make.
does not work.......2007-08-05
Book was in great shape- fast service. Exemplary from the seller.
Content does not work, in fact, I gained 15 lbs while using it. Had to go to the complete opposite for my bloodtype!
Interesting and helpful.......2007-07-09
This book gives you a diferent perspective on how/what to eat based on your blood type.
( It's good to know your blood type before reading it :-)
It has been very helpful to me and my family.
EATING RIGHT .......2007-06-27
THIS WAS A VERY EDUCATIONAL BOOK. IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY MY DOCTOR. I THINK THAT THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY OF THE BOOK IS GREATER THAN MANY PEOPLE WOULD ENJOY. IT REQUIRES MORE THAN A SINGLE READING TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS. IT ALSO RECOMMENDS A LOT OF HERBAL REMEDIES OF VARIOUS CONDITIONS WHICH COULD BE A LITTLE COST PROHIBITIVE. THE DIET GUIDE WAS SIMPLE AND EASY TO FOLLOW BUT REQUIRED THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD GRASP OF THE BOOK'S CONCEPTS IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHY TO EXCLUDE FOODS FROM YOUR DIET. I ENJOYED THE BOOK AND WILL REREAD MUCH OF IT. I AM ALSO FOLLOWING MANY OF ITS GUIDELINES FOR EATING FOR MY BLOOD TYPE.
Book Description
Kids will be kids, which, among other things, means that they develop some unhealthy habits, like riding bicycles without a helmet, watching too much TV, or eating too many cookies. And for the most part, as they get older and become responsible adults, kids learn to shed those bad habits that lead to adult diseases like osteoporosis, high cholesterol, and obesity.
The fact of the matter is that unhealthy lifestyle habits that plague us later in life develop from an early age. The good news is that these potentially debilitating conditions and precursors to adult diseases can be prevented or lessened by making some very simple lifestyle adjustments. GOOD KIDS, BAD HABITS provides kids and parents with the means to make a personalized program that will help children grow into the healthiest adults they can be.
A comprehensive "BehaviorRater" test sets the stage for the book, and helps parents target which areas a child should focus on improving, whether it involves cutting down on sugar, getting more exercise, or making the right choices under the duress of peer pressure. Once a basic personalized program is created (which accounts for a child's age, temperament, and other unique factors), readers can use the RealAge® metric to understand how certain healthy habits will benefit the child in later years.
GOOD KIDS, BAD HABITS will help parents encourage their kids to enjoy exercise, eat right, manage stress, and develop healthy intellectual and emotional habit

Common Sense Advice.......2007-09-27
I ordered the book to find the magic solution to my son's (age 6) bad eating habits. My other 3 kids eat anything. The book had very useful advice but no earth shattering solutions - just good common sense. I enjoyed reading the book and was glad I did, but it did not help. It did reinforce many things were were already doing as a family. It was a good check up.
What's new.......2007-05-09
I eagerly ordered Good Kids, Bad Habits, hoping for new insights and parenting tips. The first problem was that my children are 12, 14 & 17 years old, and the book's advice targeted parents with much younger children. Unfortunaltely some of us with teens and preteens have still not figured out how best to shepard our children into the healthest possible lifestyles, given our modern culture.
I read the book anyway, and was struck with the thought that very few of the suggestions presented by the author were new or original. Many of the main stream suggestions have been in parents' magazine articles for decades. The title and cover of the book were the most creative and original part of the package.
The author is a pediatrician, yet little or no science graced the pages.
Of course I was not been able to bring myself to toss the book in the recycle bin. So I have donated the paperback to the local library. A 5 minute scan of the text at the library, should provide you with all its insights.
No Picnic.......2007-04-10
I have read part of this book. It is work, no easy answers. You have to evaluate, evaluate, evaluate.... I have started with one child, but then the next question is about another child. I'll work it out. But you have to do the work.
The BEST book I have ever read.......2007-04-04
This book is the very best one I have ever read on kids and nutrition!
LOVE THIS BOOK.......2007-03-08
What a fantastic book! Useful advice given in a practical and non-judgemental way. Dr. Jen provides a fantastic road map for helping to put your child on the path of a healthy life both physically & mentally. As the Mom of a 9-year old son, I really appreciated her advice on parenting children during the 'tween years and thoughts on self-esteem.
