The subtitle for the book, Eat This and Live! For Kids, is “Simple, Healthy, Food & Restaurant Choices. Snacks your kids will LOVE!” And it lives up to that subtitle. There is excellent advice about how to encourage your kids to eat healthy. The author, Don Colbert, M.D. is board-certified in family practice and anti-aging medicine and has received extensive training in nutritional and preventative medicine. His earlier books include two New York Times BestSellers.
I found the book very easy to read. It is full of bright color photos, clip out type advice boxes, easy to pick up lists, and charts. Well-organized and identified sections let you skip over any non-relevant information and find what you are looking for quickly and easily. For example, I was especially interested in the Restaurant Choices. I just flipped through and easily found that chapter, quickly seeing restaurants we frequent like Subway, Taco Bell, Chili’s, Olive Garden, and Pizza Hut. As an example, under Pizza Hut, you will find: “Before diving in, eat a large salad with dressing on the side. Choose a thin crust with veggies as toppings. Also, request your pizza with half the cheese and part skim mozzarella as toppings…” Good advice for anyone!
There are chapters based on age of children - “A Healthy Baby During Pregnancy”; “Breastfeeding”;”The Proper Care and Feeding of Your Baby and Toddler”; and “Healthy Habits from Preschool to “Preteen”. Also chapters on the “Exercise” and “Creating a Healthy Home.”
I challenge anyone not to find some interesting and helpful information within five minutes of picking up this book!
