3.0 out of 5 stars It works, but it's a lot of work, November 15, 2007

This review is from: The Sierras Weight-Loss Solution for Teens and Kids: A Scientifically Based Program from the Highly Acclaimed Weight-Loss School (Mass Market Paperback)

Two things - Firstly and most importantly my son and my husband were happy with the dinners and both lost weight easily (I didn't and I'm still not sure why, but they definitely did)
but secondly - I had to find 15 extra minutes every morning for the cooking (and cleaning and putting away) and some of the breakfasts did not work at all. The candied apple was just awful, but the egg on an english muffin is great and everyone is happy to eat that.

The low fat regime works, and it's very boy/man friendly. As a woman, I wanted more salads (they've finally brainwashed me into wanting and then missing them!) and as the cook I would have liked less labor intensive recipes, esp for the morning but the most important thing is the results and they are absolutely there.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful program, no doubt about it., September 6, 2007

I would like to inform folks though, that my daughter and three of her friends, including her room mate, had to have Gall Bladder surgery after their rapid weight lost with this program.

I'm not complaining because i am happy with my daughter's success and my decision. However, i do think they should advise parents who are considering this program that there is that risk. I had insurance, others might not be so lucky unless they are prepared in advance.

Gall Bladder surgery is something rarely seen in kids until now but with the new epidemic of over-weight kids it does become a health risk for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Camper From Wellspring, September 24, 2007

I was a camper at a Wellspring NY (AOS sister program) during the summer of 2006. Since then I have lost and kept off over 60 pounds. I had been heavy my whole life, even as a young child and this is the only program that has worked. I tried Weight Watchers, Adkins, and many other ways to loose the weight. This program really does work. It is scientifically based and there is research to prove it. I highly recommend the book to anyone or any parent that has an overweight child or teen.
