The latest information on calories and fat grams is included as a guideline for making wise choices and designing a personalized diet plan. The book gives teens the tools they need for selecting foods; knowing when to eat; finding out why they overeat; spotting unhealthy diet schemes; creating an exercise program; and feeling good about themselves. This revised second edition contains new information on healthy alternatives for all meals as well as snacks and drinks; the pros and cons of popular diets; the downside of dieting when it goes too far; and warning signs for anorexia and bulimia.
