About this title

From the Inside Flap:

If you or someone in your family needs to lose weight, you may have lots of questions about how to achieve that goal. How can you prepare healthy meals when busy schedules mean that everyone's on the go? If only one person in your family needs to lose weight, where can you find diet-friendly dishes that everyone can enjoy? What can you do to help your kids develop good food habits that will last a lifetime?

This book can help. Teaming up with weight-loss and nutrition experts, Betty Crocker has created a comprehensive resource that focuses on the simple steps your family can take to build and strengthen healthy eating and exercise habits together.

In this definitive yet friendly guide, you'll learn how nutrition, exercise, psychology and physiology can all play a part in helping your family lose weight.
