The Thinking Teen’s Guide to Weight Management

Think you’re too fat? Too skinny? Just aren’t comfortable with the way your body “fits” you? You’re not alone. Being happy with how we look like and trying to stay healthy in a world full of junk food is a challenge we all face.

If you’re read to make a change in your life, and take charge of your body, this is the book for you. The Thinking Teens Guide to Weight Management is not a diet book. It is a book that will help you understand how your body responds to the foods you feed it, and how you can easily get the body you want with a few simple changes to your lifestyle and the way you think.

Understanding your body better will help you make better choices in your eating habits and your exercise habits. Being healthy doesn’t have to be hard or boring.

This book will help you understand your body, your weight, and how to get exactly where you want to be:

· The pitfalls of comparison
· How to eliminate cravings
· The myths of comfort foods dispelled
· Foods to avoid and foods that will make up for the ones you’re avoiding
· How stores are designed to make you eat what they want you to buy—and how to avoid being sucked in by them
· Best times to eat
· Telltale signs of eating disorders
· Opinion versus reality
· Body image versus self-image
· Power of routine and priority
· How to glow on the outside, not just the inside
