I can remember being 9 years old and told that I was too fat.  These words haunted me for many years to come although when I look back at photos of myself in my teens and early 20s I now realize that I was well within my norm.  I can still hear the taunts from others and it was very hurtful.  I now see the same happening with our Niece but the concern is that she is too thin.  She is very tall and pencil thin and we know that she is hearing the same taunts from others.  My sister and her husband have now had opportunity to read this book and are working with our Niece to develop a healthy and nutritious menu based on her food likes.  She has always been a physically active child but her diet definitely needed some improvements.  The author provides an excellent overview of the problems faced by people who are underweight and remarkably you are just as must at risk for developing life threating health impairments when you are underweight vs overweight and yet we always seem to focus on our "growing" population.  This book provides the reader with everything that they need to know about healthy diet and workout plans and some great tips to gaining weight.  The author has also included a great list of common mistakes that have been made by others.  I've already recommended this book to my family and will recommend to others any time.
