How Many of the Signs Above Seemed Very Familiar?

Three or more of these signs indicate that a youngster has
a physical addiction to carbohydrate-rich foods.

The carbohydrate-addicted youngster needs a special eating program
designed to restore insulin and blood sugar balance
as well as emotional, physical, and psychological well-being
- all without struggle and without deprivation.

DESIGNED JUST FOR KIDS AND TEENS

In our book, Carbohydrate-Addicted Kids, we offer two plans; one slow and easy, the other quick and rewarding.

On The Step-By-Step Plan, youngsters move at a slower pace, choosing Add-Ons, Hold-Ons, and Swaps - one each week - in order to effortlessly balance their carbohydrate intake and the insulin and blood sugar levels that have ruled their lives.

On The Jump-Start Plan, in addition to high-fiber and protein-rich meals and snacks, older children and teens enjoy a daily Reward Meal®; a special mini-feast that allows youngsters to eat the foods they love without counting or measuring, while experiencing a rapid decrease in cravings and insulin and blood sugar swings.

Our book, Carbohydrate-Addicted Kids, provides parents with:

• A Step-By-Step Plan and a Jump-Start Plan that encourage parents to choose the best rate of change for their children and teens
  

• A daily Reward Meal® along with easy, and delicious insulin-regulating meals and snacks
  

• Holiday, vacation, celebration, and party indulgences
  

• Freedom from food measuring, weighing, and exchanges
  

• Self-esteem from a new sense of self-control in eating, behavior, and ability to concentrate
  

• Easy and permanent weight-loss and/or elimination of behavior and mood problems

Parents will discover:

• A detailed Carbohydrate Addiction Quiz for Children and Teens® along with scoring and profiles

• Our own powerful stories and case histories
