Reviews
This diet book by Epstein, a researcher of childhood obesity, and Squires, a medical and health writer for the Washington Post , is aimed at an often-ignored population: children. This book, with quizzes and special sections for children, teaches parents how to motivate their child so that the diet becomes a choice, not a chore. The Stoplight name refers to foods coded red, yellow, and greenhigh, moderate, and low calorie, respectively. The diet is based on sound nutritional advice and can be used by adults, as well. As diet books go, it appears to be a worthwhile purchase. Carol Spielman Lezak, General Learning Corp., Northbrook, Ill.
