Publisher description
Mackie Shilstone is famous for helping world-class athletes achieve the body, drive, stamina, and performance they need to win. Now, with four decades of health-and-fitness expertise, he focuses on providing solutions to the problem of childhood obesity. Today, 25 million children (that_s 1 in 3) are overweight. If no intervention is made, 80 percent of them will stay overweight as adults, which can put them at risk for medical problems (for example, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and asthma) and make them more susceptible to low self-esteem and depression.
Mackie Shilstone_s Body Plan for Kids is a comprehensive guide for parents to gain control of their child_s weight. It is the first book of its kind to offer specific strategies for eating healthily, getting fit, and increasing self-esteem targeted at eight- to twelve-year-olds. The plan shows parents how to:
- Take height and weight measurements and determine body-fat percentage;
- Work with their child_s doctor to determine an ideal target weight;
- Involve kids in making better food choices
- Increase daily physical activity with more than two dozen games and activities;
- Track eating, exercise, and weight loss electronically.
Complete with age-specific advice from a pediatrician, nutritionist, clinical psychologist, and other specialists, as well as recipes and more than 100 online and print resources, Mackie Shilstone_s Body Plan for Kids gives parents the solutions and tools to bring about effective weight loss in their children (and themselves)
