Product Description

The renowned Academy of the Sierras has helped hundreds of children-many severely overweight-achieve significant weight loss and keep it off for good. The first year-round weight-loss program for children and teens in the country, AOS teaches students how to make healthy eating and exercise priorities in their lives forever. For AOS students, losing weight not only helps them look and feel better, it fundamentally transforms their lives-encouraging them to build self-esteem, combat depression, and increase their academic performance.

In The Sierras Weight-Loss Solution for Teens and Kids, the founders and program leaders of AOS offer parents everywhere a 12-week proven program based on the school's curriculum. The program gives week-by-week meal plans, recipes, and an exercise regimen, as well as crucial advice for getting the whole family involved in maintaining long-term weight loss. And, it helps kids change their thinking about food, and stay focused and committed to a new healthy lifestyle forever. With inspiring stories from AOS graduates throughout, this book provides the most effective blueprint to ensure lasting success.

Academy of the Sierras has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, People, the Sacramento Bee, and the Los Angeles Times, as well as on CNN, Dateline, The Dr. Phil Show, and NPR._ In addition to their original school near Fresno, California, AOS is opening a second school in Brevard, North Carolina, in the spring of 2007. In 2008, they are opening a school in the northeast.

AOS is operated by Healthy Living Academies, which also runs six Wellspring summer weight-loss camps across the country.

3.0 out of 5 stars It works, but it's a lot of work, November 15, 2007
By amf0001 (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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
By Jessica Gault (Detroit, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
