Diet for Teenagers Only

Teenage girls face a relentless assault: television, the Internet, and magazines all barrage them with iages of perfection--and that perfection is inextricaboly linked with being thin. In The Diet for Teenagers Only, Carrie Wiatt and Barabara Schroeder give teenagers the weapons they need to overcome these pressures and make smart, independent decisions about nutrition. Written in a fun, light-hearted voice, but filled with practical tips and must-have information, the book specifically tailors its plan to fit teeenage needs and lifestyles. Food cutouts clarify what portion sizes should look like, and easy-to-follow recipes teach teens to take nutrition into their own hands. The book is also loaded with great tips for avoiding the common dietary pitfalls of teenagers on-the-go: school lunches, vending machines, fast food restaurants, sleep-over party fare, and the onset of emotional eating. Above all, Wiatt and Schroeder send a message that while striving to improve one's body can be a very healthy goal, learning to love one's body is the nore important achievement.
