The teenage years are when many teens' bodies begin to
radically change, and also when they start to be harshly criticized for
their appearance. "Safe Dieting for Teens" is a guide for
teenagers who feel the pressure of their classmates and want to shrug it
off by proving them wrong. Advising against practices that lead teens
down the slippery road to eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia,
"Safe Dieting for Teens" gives sensible, wise advice effective
for young adults' developing bodies. Enhanced with a calorie
counting chart, "Safe Dieting for Teens" is highly recommended
for community library health collections.
