almost all we need

As a pediatrician involved with the problem of obesity (and finishing my specialization on the issue), I found that this book came as a possible solution to my concerns. It adresses every necessary steps in managing obese patients in a concise form and approaches important questions as body image, traps to avoid, long-term maintenance of weight (the most important point of treatment, emphasized by the authors), etc. All without drugs, which is a differential in this kind of treatment. And thoug the book doesn't mention treatment in pediatric patients, many of their lessons would apply for this age group (or, at least, the adolescents). There's only one weak point: in the beginning of the book, patients are instructed to count calories meticulously (they are even compelled to buy a kitchen scale). Afterwards, they are supposed to "forget the obsession" with the same calories! (almost like teaching a child to ride a bike and then taking it away for her for good). Even so, I think that it's a worthy piece.
