Did you know that thirty percent
of preteen and teenage girls
are overweight?

And if you are like most girls (and their parents!) you are confused by all the talk about fat-free, super-size low-cal, buy-one-get-one free, low-carb, high-protein diets and foods—which way is right? Dr. Susan can help you figure it out!

There is no doubt:
teenage girls are overweight
BUT dieting is not the answer!

Whether you are a preteen or teenage girl OR the parent of one, you probably know all about the huge battles that parents (especially moms!) and girls have about eating healthily, exercising and losing weight. It can be really tough and it can also completely stress your relationship with each other!

It doesn’t have to be this way!

There is so much pressure from TV, magazines, boys and even friends, for girls to be skinny rather than healthy that girls (and their parents) worry about eating disorders and can’t figure out how to get and keep a healthy body and a good body image.

Dr. Susan’s Girls-Only Weight Loss Guide addresses all these issues—it is packed with supportive and practical advice that girls can really do to become healthier and to lose weight.

Dr. Susan’s Girls-Only Weight Loss Guide has lots of fun quizzes and activities, that will help you learn about yourself so that you can lose weight and become healthier and happier with your body.

Dr. Susan had a Girls Advisory Group—twelve girls who read each chapter and made sure everything in the book is real, practical and useable.

You will also read lots of stories from other girls, just like you—so you’ll know you’re not alone! They also give you tips that really work, to help you look and feel better!

This book is for typical teens (not girls with eating disorders) and it addresses everyday struggles that girls really have. If you think that you (or your friend or daughter) may have an eating disorder, Dr. Susan includes a whole chapter to help you understand it and to support you.
