Editorial Reviews

Review

"Like most others dedicated to turning the tide of epidemic obesity and related health problems in children and adults alike, I have long acknowledged that the problem is bigger than the individual, and the solution needs to be, too. We need policies, programs, and resources that help make eating well and being active the path of least resistance for us all. But in the interim, when focusing on what individuals can and should do, I emphasize three things: health, not just weight; the long term, not the quick fix; and the strength of family unity as opposed to go-it-alone approaches. Dr. Vos serves up similar priorities, and as I read through her book, I routinely found myself nodding my head in enthusiastic agreement and thinking, 'I couldn't have said it better myself!' Dr. Vos indeed says it well, and what she has to say deserves every parent's attention. Her book delivers an artful blend of common sense, uncommon insight, practical expertise, and obvious compassion. I think it's terrific." --David L. Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP Director, Prevention Research Center Yale University School of Medicine

"Parents, grandparents, and caregivers will love this step-by-step guide to feeding America's happiest and healthiest children. Dr. Miriam Vos puts it best, 'Truly healthy children are bright-eyed, able-bodied, energetic, and glowing.' The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids tells you exactly how to create a positive and healthy relationship between your children and their food. A must-read for anyone with a child in your care." --MeMe Roth, CHC Nutrition Advisor President, National Action Against Obesity

"The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids combats the pediatric obesity edpidemic thoroughly, as this problem is about so much more than food. It is multifactorial in nature. But even more, it is a family issue that must be addressed as such. Dr. Vos gives practical suggestions of how each family can live a healthy lifestyle that is positive and nurturing for not only a child's health, but his or her total well-being." --Angela Lemond, RD, LD, Co-Author of LEAN Families, Children's Medical Center, Dallas

Product Description

Is your child overweight? One third of American children are and their lives will be shorter and not as healthy as yours. Are you worried about your child's health but don't know what to do?


The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids will help you get started. Dr. Miriam Vos, a nationally known pediatric gastroenterologist, has cared for many children facing liver disease, diabetes, and other serious health issues because of obesity. She has seen the healing power of three research-supported changes: reducing sugar, increasing activity, and preparing family meals at home. In this practical and positive guide for parents, Dr. Vos tells you how to change the habits that many families have slipped into and gives you specific ways to improve your child s health without diets, guilt trips, or power struggles.


This book has answers for your questions and success stories to share, plus more than 60 kid-friendly recipes, many contributed by professional chefs concerned about the childhood obesity epidemic. If you've tried diets, now try a way of living: The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars As a mother and a nurse, February 26, 2009
By J. Webb (Marshall, Va) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids (Paperback)
"I enjoyed the time I have spent with The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids. Dr. Vos gives great practical advice and starting points for many families facing the growing issue of overweight kids--with a realistic dose of consequences that are in store for all people and families if the obesity epidemic is not met head on by committed participants. I agree with the importance of spending a great deal of time with my children, playing, being outside, exercising, and cooking. I really liked the chapter on the "The Hard Facts of Being Overweight." Too many shy away from telling the truth to patients and families, and we are doing them no favor by sugar-coating an already obvious problem. I really was drawn to the chapters on getting started together, raising active children and teens, and the 3 Ps and 3 Cs. I liked the recipes and snack ideas, too.
Dr. Vos does not judge or blame; she merely holds up a mirror and allows people the opportunity to evaluate for themselves what will work and what won't. She reminds us that parents need to be involved and that children will do what you do and not what you say. Parents may want the best for their children, but kids also want what's best for their parents, so the inclusion of the family unit is necessary for success. This book makes that point very well.
Dr. Vos does not give just one suggestion, but many, and encourages families to find their own path. Health and life are flexible and fluid, so families must be the same, and families dealing with concerns or issues need options. This book is a great place to begin and does not leave anyone out with the types of suggestions and information provided."
As a mother of two and an RN - I can say that we need more of this literature in the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Source of Information, July 15, 2009
This review is from: The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids (Paperback)
I have lost 25 pounds myself and my daughter has lost 16 since we got the book and started with some of the recipes and healthier methods given by the book. No more frying for one. We have all but cut out beef, white flour & pasta, white and potato bread. There are some oatmeal pancakes as part of the recipes that the kids actually love. We get out as a family and exercise - be it the park or just racing to the corner - cut tv time down and dance more around the house. We have been on a roll. And the best part is they don't even realize that I have changed so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new approach to weight loss for children: teach them good health habits that they will keep for the rest of their lives, June 7, 2009
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids (Paperback)
Diets are notoriously ineffective, so why do we rely on them so much to fight obesity? "The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids" offers a new approach to weight loss for children: teach them good health habits that they will keep for the rest of their lives. Valuing exercise, moderation, and home cooking over diet foods and crunching calories, "The No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids" may just be what parents need to manage their children's weight, and possibly their own weight as well!
