Every parent wants what is best for their own child!  As parents we must do whatever is necessary to teach our children that food is fuel for the body; neither too much, nor too little food will give your body the energy it needs to perform properly each day.  Being healthy is a lifestyle, not a diet.  There are many good tips on how to keep your body healthy; none of them includes gimmicks, diets, or diet pills.  To assist with weight control; keep a daily food journal and every time the urge to snack is felt, first drink a large glass of clear water.  The major reason so many people in America are overweight is because we eat too much for comfort!  It does not hurt to treat ourselves with something special once in a while, what is necessary is that we limit our portions and do not overeat!  It is also necessary to keep our body properly hydrated, so drink a full glass of water with each meal or snack. Being overweight ******, but after reading a book, I lost 85 pounds!  Words can not express how good I feel! This is a comment which I recently received about the book Lose Weight Using Four Easy Steps
