Weight Management: A Teen's Guide To Weight Management (Young Adult's Guide to the Science of He #15)
by Elizabeth BauchnerDo you need to lose a few pounds? Are you overweight--or are you just built differently from the "Barbie-doll" (or "Ken-doll") shape? Sometimes it's hard to tell. In a culture that insists we all have to be model-thin, it's hard to judge. Dieting is a big business that sells books, magazines, and food products. In the midst of so many conflicting messages, it can be hard to sort out fact from fiction. We all want to look our best--and at the same time, we all hate to deny ourselves our favorite foods! Healthy weight management is all about achieving the weight that's right for you--and this book will give you the facts you need to determine what is right for you. Your ideal weight will depend on many factors--your height, your body type, your gender, your age--but there are at least two common factors for successful weight management: regular exercise and a balanced diet. Forget "diets" and focus instead on a lifetime of healthy habits. In the long run, weight management is not about denying yourself. It's about providing your body with what it truly needs--and this book will tell you how.

As a child, she&’d stand in front of the mirror, sucking in her stomach and arching her back to feel her ribs, praying to see a model-like figure looking back. As an obese teen, lonely and tormented by her weight, her doctor encouraged her to start dieting, ultimately leading to a prolonged battle with anorexia that nearly took her life. After decades of hiding her eating disorder from friends, family, and the world, Jackie is ready to expose the realities of her devastating struggle with anorexia, including the harrowing day-to-day tactics she employed to count calories and restrict meals, her struggles with fertility and pregnancy, the effects her eating disorder had on her relationships with her husband and children, and ultimately how, in a twist of fate, becoming a reality TV star saved her life. The Weight of Beautiful is Jackie&’s personal story, but within it are also the stories of millions like her, striving to lead healthy, happy lives despite their eating disorders. In the vein of Unbearable Lightness, Hiding from Reality, and What Remains, The Weight of Beautiful is a moving testament of strength, honesty, and recovery.

Her weight is a constant source of conflict and shame, as the people from every corner of her life, from her coworkers to the neighbors down the street, judge Kara for the size of her body. When it becomes just too much to tolerate, Kara turns to therapy and weight-loss surgery, a choice that transforms her body-and her life.Kara's story is one of living as a fat woman in America, where fat prejudice is rampant despite our nation's pandemic of obesity.

Weight Watchers Around the World
by Weight Watchers InternationalYou'll find peanut butter in soup, cinnamon in a meat marinade, and pepper in cookies. As anyone who has tried to diet by limiting their palate can tell you, it's variety of flavors that makes eating healthfully easier and more enjoyable. And while you might associate ethnic food's exotic appeal with decadence, you'll find these dishes surprisingly good for you. That's because many cultures incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish into even the simplest of suppers. And in more populous-and often poorer-nations, meat is usually used as a flavoring while fiber-rich beans and grains steal the spotlight at the center of the plate. While the flavors of these recipes are complex, most of the recipes are easy. In fact, we've included many one-dish meals so dinner is convenient, not complicated. Plus, we suggest substitutions for harder-to-find ingredients. Don't make the mistake of thinking ethnic food should be served only to the people in your family who don't drink out of a sippy cup. You'll find plenty of American and ethnic dishes to please the booster-seat bunch in these pages. My 1 1/2-year-old loves the Canadian Apple Pancakes and Baked Garlic and Cheese Grits. It's easy exposing your little ones to another culture-serve Skewered Singapore Chicken and Pineapple or Plantain Chips from Puerto Rico. When you've got the time and the inclination, make an event of it. Put on some salsa music or even a polka. Have a Red Stripe beer with your Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloin or Chianti with your Spaghetti Alia Norma. You may even want to eat your Pad Thai with chopsticks.
