Product Description:
As an endocrinologist at Harvard, Dr. David Ludwig pioneered the use of a low-glycemic diet in combating obesity. His groundbreaking research is the basis for some of the most successful diets of the last decade, including the South Beach Diet and SugarBusters. Ten years ago, Dr. Ludwig founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program at Children’s Hospital Boston. There, he and his team tailored his low-glycemic diet for children and combined it with a nine-week progressive plan that benefits the patient and the entire family. Dr. Ludwig wins parents’ trust but also offers hope to their children, who often feel teased, bullied, and defeated.
This scientifically proven approach addresses, for the first time, all three key factors affecting body weight — biology, behavior, and environment — and integrates them into a powerful prescription for weight loss. Dr. Ludwig compassionately recognizes the challenges children and their parents face in today’s fast food/fake food world and guides them from conflict to cooperation along the road to health.
In Ending the Food Fight, Dr. Ludwig shares his program with parents everywhere, giving them all the tools they need to help their children win the food fight, once and for all.

Low-Carbohydrate Nutrition Will Keep Your Kids Lean And Fit For Life by Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Man
Our most precious commodity in this world are our children and making sure they are eating properly is a challenging task to say the least. With fast food and junk food being dangled in front of them on television commercials and on the Internet using cartoon characters and clever marketing to appeal to them, it’s literally a war out there–a “food fight” between parents and their kids about what to eat.
That’s why pediatric physician Dr. David Ludwig wrote Ending the Food Fight because he wanted to show parents that it IS possible to feed your children healthy foods without having them pitch a fit. The 9-week OWL program that Dr. Ludwig uses with children all the time at the Children’s Hospital Boston has a proven track record of helping even the most defiant, sugar-addicted kids to eat better. It’s all found in this book!
You’ll recall that Dr. Ludwig has published some research on “fatty liver” being a problem with eating too many carbohydrates, so he is certainly a proponent of livin’ la vida low-carb based on what the science has shown him. And applying those principles to children makes sense to him which is the heartbeat of everything he does. If you are a parent, then you should own a copy of Ending the Food Fight.
awesome book, wish I’d read it sooner by Suzymama
very wise advice, wish I could read more from this guy! We should ALL heed his advice!
Truth Hurts! by M. Castillo
Dr. Ludwig is saying things that too few others dare. It’s hard to give up the fast, instant food that is everywhere but if we don’t, it’s the children who will suffer the most.
scientific answers to obestiy by c.j.
This book isn’t just another diet book based on somebody’s single theory. It is a compilation of much testing and research in regards to overcoming weight issues. The information is well presented and easily understood. It has helped our family make and keep to better eating and exercise habits and has helped us all trim a few pounds. Highly recommended.
