"I am a freshman in college and I competed in athletics all throughout high school. I am very interested in nutrition and I was always looking for resources to learn about how to improve my performance through nutrition. Most books are for adults but this book is specifically tailored for adolescents. The information is easy to understand but is not watered down for simplicity's sake. Overall, I found this book very helpfull and I highly recommend reading it."

As someone who grew up
"As someone who grew up with bad eating habits as a child and had to develop better ones as an adult, this book was an excellent guide on how to teach my kids healthy eating. It helped me to balance my boys nutrition with their activities. Gave lots of tips on age appropriate communication of nutritional principles."

Insightful and assuring
"I found the book contents to be scientifically sound and backed by many credible sources. At the time I was looking for more information about what my 8 year old daughter should be eating as she had gained quite bit of weight over the course of 3 years. This e-book not only gave me factual insight but also had a behavioral approach about how to approach the subject without making her to feel bad. We want her healthy we don't care what's size clothes she wears because she's still growing but when the doctor mentioned test for juvenile diabetes at her next visit we became alarmed as we as her her parents don't have any signs of that. I would recommend this resource to other parents seeking knowledge."

Knowledge
"In an age of abundance of choice and foods that may or may not be good for us, it is most helpful to have a guide to what the body needs and how to fuel it. During the 2nd most growth time in human lives, the knowledge that can be gleaned from this book truely has more value than the cost. I use this book for knowledge and to help the adolescents in my live to live better."
