MOM- Stop being the food police - Is your teen in need for a healthier diet and glowing skin?

Resist quick fixes- Help your teen understand that losing weight - and keeping it off - is a lifetime commitment. Fad diets may rob your growing teen of iron, calcium and other essential nutrients. Weight-loss pills and other quick fixes don't address the root of the problem. And the effects are often short-lived. Without a permanent change in habits, any lost weight is likely to return - and then some.
