BOOK REVIEW: Red Light, Green Light, Eat Right - The Food Solution That Lets Kids be Kids by Joanna Dolgoff

With hundreds of books on diets, even for young urchins, it seems a tad too difficult to choose one that suits your family's needs. However, after reading this book, this seems like an almost perfect fit to any family.

As any parent knows, getting your kids to eat the right foods in the right portions can be a challenge. But with many children at risk for developing obesity-related diseases, it's time to give our kids the tools they need for a healthy future.

Determined to help her young patients - and their families - who struggle with this issue, the author (who is a pediatrician) created this book, a safe, effective plan for the whole family that uses the colors of the traffic light to divide food into 3 categories: Green (Go!), Yellow (Slow!) and Red (Uh Oh!). On this plan:

• No foods are off limits - in fact, occasional treats are essential.
• Children get the nutrients they need to grow strong, healthy bodies.
• Busy parents can use sample menus, meal plans, and delicious recipes.
• Eating out is a breeze with an index of more than 1000 color-coded foods.

Customizable, interactive and fun, this book will help your family lose weight and start living healthier, together. Actually, this diet works out even if you don't have kids as it is fun and easy to follow without restrictions like most other diets do. Go figure!
