Now, the YOU docs offer a quick and simple-to-navigate guidebook for teens about the ins and outs of fat, nutrition, exercise, emotions, and all of the important elements that go into devising a weight-loss system. Every stage of life has its share of obstacles.

It's also loaded with great family-friendly recipes, a sample two-week diet plan, and three family-friendly workouts that will help burn calories and build stronger bodies.
