Fortunately, the renowned physician Dr. David Ludwig developed a proven lifestyle plan that has benefited thousands of families. Here he shares his nine-week program, offering the tools -- including tasty recipes, motivational tips, and activities -- that can help families prevent the kitchen table from becoming a battleground.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best new diet info, May 2, 2007
This review is from: Ending the Food Fight: Guide Your Child to a Healthy Weight in a Fast Food/Fake Food World (Hardcover)
This book is my new Bible for my diet and my patients. It's practical information is invaluable. The science relating to this difficult field is raised to a new level. And what is unusual about this book is the compassionate feeling which is conveyed throughout. It is clearly advice for people of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Book, June 4, 2007
This review is from: Ending the Food Fight: Guide Your Child to a Healthy Weight in a Fast Food/Fake Food World (Hardcover)
This is a really terrific book! Dr. Ludwig has done brilliant research on the cause of obesity. This book is actually the second food fight he has ended. The first was between the low carbohydrate and the low fat diet proponents. His definitive research findings show that the low glycemic carbohydrate diet is superior to the low fat diet. This book ends the food fight between the loving parents who want the best for their child and the food producers who just want your children to eat as much as possible to fatten their profits.
If any of your children are overweight, you MUST read this book. Dr. Ludwig addresses the problem of motivating your child to lose weight in a loving, down to earth, practical way.

This review is from: Ending the Food Fight: Guide Your Child to a Healthy Weight in a Fast Food/Fake Food World (Hardcover)
This book isn't just another diet book based on somebody's single theory. It is a compilation of much testing and research in regards to overcoming weight issues. The information is well presented and easily understood. It has helped our family make and keep to better eating and exercise habits and has helped us all trim a few pounds. Highly recommended.
