 Excellent Resource February 15, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
When I received this book I was a little overwhelmed because it is as thick as an average text book. However, it is very straighforward & based on proven scientific facts (no gimmicky diet junk). This book gave me tools to help my child (age 6) to make better choices in order to avoid a future weight problem. I highly recommend it.

I liked that this book had meal plans in it. The recipes were all low-fat and yet delicious. It provides a plethora of resources for figuring out how to assess your child's health. It is easy to understand and implement. I would recommend this for any parent looking for healthy alternatives to today's junk food.

A must have book for getting kids healthy and keeping them healthy! November 10, 2005

With my goal of establishing healthy eating habits for my family (mainly centered on my children ages 10, 9 and 9), I stumbled upon this incrediable book dealing with getting kids healthy. This book titled Trim Kids : The Proven 12-Week Plan That Has Helped Thousands of Children Achieve a Healthier Weight, by Melinda S. Sothern, and T. Kristian von Almen is extraordinary.
Trim Kids teaches kids how to be healthy in a concise and easy to follow, step by step program. It begins by determining what reality really is when determining proper weight, body mass and exercise for each child. The book goes on to teach the children (and parents) what proper fat and sugar intake really is. There are many questionnaires to follow in determining what area your children are doing well in and what areas can be improved upon. This gave my children a great participatory method of determining just how healthy they were or were not.
After several chapters on how to establish what really is healthy, the book gives many clear and exciting tips on finding proper exercise and eating environments to begin the road of creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle the kids can enjoy and keep for a lifetime. Our personal favorite suggestion is the winter exercise room complete with a mattress, hula-hoops, jump ropes, a mini trampoline and loud music!
Once the foundation has been laid, the book takes you on a 12-week step by step program to help the kids (and the adults) see what progress they are making with the program. Each week has new recipes and exercise suggestions to keep the kids motivated. The program is simple and very easy to follow. My whole family is committed to this program. My children and I read a chapter each night before bedtime and we are all healthier because of it. This is NOT a diet book. It is however a great book on establishing a healthy lifestyle that all of us can easily follow.

I have an overweight child that wasn't doing too good with her weight and Trim Kids help her lose almost 120 pounds in just 12 weeks! If you don't believe me try it for yourself. I also found out that they have extremly good recipes from their book and I use them al the time now. Thank you so much Dr.Melinda, Mrs.Heidi! I know who you are! Thanks!
