A Good Place to Start!!
You always need a place to start when you want to get in shape. I think The Ultimate Weight Sulution for teens is perfect for this. It gets you in the mood to look and feel better. I think that this book will have a lasting impact, eventhough it is still too new to tell. IF you feel like you need a place to start I recommend this book, because it is smart, fun and about the things that matter-you and how you should be feeling about yourself. It also does not stay on the topic of losing weight, but also acknowledges that their is more to weight issues than being overweight.
I would also recommend "Toning for Teens" by Joyce Vedral. It is a great book about weight lifting and toning that is built souly on how teens build muscle and how they can do it right. Both of these authors do a good job focusing on teens and their needs.

Great coaching tool
Using actual discussions of tough issues teens face day to day around the abuse of food is excellent. The topic of food abuse in young adults and even preteens needs to see the light of day. The number of kids battling serious eating disorders is going up not down and the trend really is frightening. I picked this up just to see what Dr. Phil's prodigy might have to say about teen weight issues. I expected to be cynically unimpressed and found the lay out was engaging. Each chapter was well thought out and well written. I did not get the impression that this book was slapped together to make a buck. I actually thought the focus was on quality content.

Follows in the tradition of great father-son writers
Illya Tolstoy established an impressive writing career apart from his father. And Brian Herbert successfully continued the Dune series after his father passed on. And Andre Dubus III made his father proud with House of Sand and Fog. And now, Dr. Jay McGraw continues the grand tradition. Dr. Phil has obviously trained his son well in the family business. Like his dad, Jay writes with the wisdom and folksy down-home style reminiscent of Mark Twain or Will Rogers. And also like his dad, Jay also has a failrly serious weight problem himself, as is very apparent from the cover photo. But as the elder McGraw is fond of saying, "Yern dont have to be a cow, to tell bubba how eggs is made." Jay takes his dad's tried and true formula, and tailors it to sell to the nations teens. His emphasis on keeping a positive self-image, sprinkled with bits of discipline, proper diet and excercise may be considered a radical approach to weight loss. But it is a message that must be heard by today's youth. Similar Products
