Reader ReviewsGood things sometimes come wrapped in small packages, and this is certainly true for this concise book. It's true that there's nothing earth-shattering between the covers, but only because most people already know the validity of the author's recommendations and choose to push the information to the back of their minds in favor of the easier way out. What this book does is condense the information into seven palatable bites, so that the health of your family is served to you on a plate for easy consumption. Wouldn't you rather order in pizza and soda after a rough day at the office instead of putting together a healthy meal, and then convincing your kids to eat it? Sure you would! However, as the author points out, the lure of a fast food diet and a sedentary lifestyle is causing fat and unhealthy kids, and as a parent, the onus is on us to try our best to do the right thing. The seven steps are spelled out in simple language, and in a conversational style that makes for easy reading. Seeing the information all together in one place makes planning a healthier lifestyle a lot easier, even if the actual implementation will be a lot harder than it sounds. Convincing your child to go along with it is the toughest part, but you may be surprised by their reactions. My six year old, for example, hates reading with a passion, but when he saw this book, he asked me if he could read it. Some of the recommendations will undoubtedly cause some friction at first, but if you use this book as a guide and take it gradually at a pace to suit your lifestyle, you will be able to make a start towards cutting back on the junk and inculcating good habits for eating and exercise. Consider this as a common sense guide to healthier living for the whole family, or, in other words - everything you already knew about a healthy lifestyle, but were afraid to put into action.
