I've worked side by side with Dr. Pescatore for many years. In this
book--which I heartily recommend--Dr. Pescatore teaches you how to bring
health and nutrition to the next generation.--Robert C. Atkins, M.D.,
author of the multimillion copy bestseller Dr. Atkins' New Diet
Revolution.
Feed Your Kids Well offers a sensible approach to the difficult problem
of childhood obesity--and many other children's health problems. Dr.
Pescatore provides parents with excellent strategies for dealing with
their children in a positive, sensitive way.--Carol Colman, coauthor of
the New York Times bestseller The Melatonin Miracle.
Feed Your Kids Well is an excellent book that explains the importance of
a well-balanced diet. It exposes the dangers associated with high-sugar
foods and reveals the true cause of childhood obesity.--Joyce and Gene
Daoust, authors of 40-30-30 Fat Burning Nutrition.
I helped nutritionally vet Adelle Davis's book, Let's Have Healthy
Children. In my opinion, Feed Your Kids Well replaces that important
work.--Fran Gare, nutrition expert, CBS-TV.
Today, one-third of North American children and teenagers are
overweight. And despite decades of medical and scientific breakthroughs,
the percentage of children with health problems today is the highest in
history.
Feed Your Kids Well will be a revelation for millions of worried
parents. Dr. Fred Pescatore, who was overweight and asthmatic as a
child, brings an empathetic and hopeful tone to this groundbreaking
guide to achieving optimum nutrition, ideal health, and self-confidence.
Building on the low-carbohydrate principles of the hugely popular Dr.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution--which has helped millions of adults lose
weight permanently--Dr. Pescatore applies the Atkins Center's proven
nutritional program to children and teenagers. Thoroughly tested over
years of exhaustive research, his Next Generation Diet is the first
health program to recognize that simply applying adult diet plans to
children is ineffective--and often dangerous. The author argues that the
real culprit behind dietary problems is not fat, but sugars and
starches. Feed Your Kids Well brings something new to the table: sane
and practical guidance for parents concerned not only about weight loss,
but also about general wellness and the prevention of disease--from
asthma to ADD, from earaches to allergies.
After explaining how your child's body and metabolism work, Dr.
Pescatore clearly outlines a straightforward nutritional lifestyle
program that helps parents shape the important building
blocks--proteins, fats, and carbohydrates--into complete, well-balanced
meals. Packed with easy-to-follow sample menus for every day of the
week, this book provides delicious, healthy alternatives. Kids will love
the dozens of simple, step-by-step recipes for a variety of dishes,
including pancakes with strawberry topping, chicken fingers, beef tacos,
fudgy brownie squares, and peanut butter cookies. Some recipes are easy
enough for kids to make themselves!
Parents will also learn how to integrate effective nutrition with
various vitamin supplements, complementary medical treatments, and a
regular exercise program, which can help heal and even prevent childhood
ailments. With fascinating case studies, Dr. Pescatore demonstrates how
to treat these problems simply by monitoring nutrient deficiencies and
sugar overload.
In childhood, the all-important seeds of our adult selves are
planted--from our personalities to our eating habits. Feed Your Kids
Well helps parents prepare their children for healthy, happy lives.
