Modern society has a decided fixation on body type, and despite well-meaning ad campaigns from some brands to attempt to gain worldwide acceptance for every body type, the “thin is in” mindset prevails. Readers will learn about the perils and pitfalls of the drastic, fast-fix diets advertised all over the place. This edifying book gives readers a matter-of-fact look at what a healthy diet looks like and contrasts it with the unhealthy and sometimes dangerous diets that make outrageous claims for quick and easy weight loss. This resource is invaluable for teens looking for healthy eating plans and lifestyles.
