 Low-Carbohydrate Nutrition Will Keep Your Kids Lean And Fit For Life, 2008-01-06
Our most precious commodity in this world are our children and making sure they are eating properly is a challenging task to say the least. With fast food and junk food being dangled in front of them on television commercials and on the Internet using cartoon characters and clever marketing to appeal to them, it's literally a war out there--a "food fight" between parents and their kids about what to eat.
That's why pediatric physician Dr. David Ludwig wrote Ending the Food Fight because he wanted to show parents that it IS possible to feed your children healthy foods without having them pitch a fit. The 9-week OWL program that Dr. Ludwig uses with children all the time at the Children's Hospital Boston has a proven track record of helping even the most defiant, sugar-addicted kids to eat better. It's all found in this book!
You'll recall that Dr. Ludwig has published some research on "fatty liver" being a problem with eating too many carbohydrates, so he is certainly a proponent of livin' la vida low-carb based on what the science has shown him. And applying those principles to children makes sense to him which is the heartbeat of everything he does. If you are a parent, then you should own a copy of Ending the Food Fight.

 Truth Hurts!, 2007-09-19
Dr. Ludwig is saying things that too few others dare. It's hard to give up the fast, instant food that is everywhere but if we don't, it's the children who will suffer the most.

scientific answers to obestiy, 2007-09-16
This book isn't just another diet book based on somebody's single theory. It is a compilation of much testing and research in regards to overcoming weight issues. The information is well presented and easily understood. It has helped our family make and keep to better eating and exercise habits and has helped us all trim a few pounds. Highly recommended.

 A Good Book Could Have Lost a Little Weight, 2007-07-13
This is a good, helpful book, though a bit of a chore to slog through. There are too many sidebars, which I found disruptive, and the book seems to be written as though the author is talking to a young child, that is, simplistic, if not, sophmoric. However, what the author has to say and some of his advice and insights are very much worthwhile. I do think it may have been more effective without the "case studies;" a more straightforward account of children's relationships with foods in the early part of this century.
