I bought this book to try to understand and help my 8 year old daughter who grows abnormally fast despite a balanced diet and exercise more than enough! Modern medicine gives me no effective response and is very guilt and judging .This book allowed me to understand the mechanisms of "storage" fat and adapt its diet of non-binding and easy manner, as well as to us, "de-stress" every two on the subject. However, do not forget the most psycho-emotional causes of overweight that may also help to understand. This book is easy and fun to read and brings an understanding that everyone should have in order to be healthy and which is not available to the medical profession.
