On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Dr Bob Pretlow explains why his website Weigh2Rock has been 
the best resource for overweight kids for over 11 years. Bob discovered that helping an overweight child requires the same approach that helping an addict requires. Kids are suing food as a substitute for stress, depression and boredom. The kids seem to intellectually understand that eating healthy and exercising is the way to go but they are addicted to making poor choices – and that’s why you have to treat them like you would a substance abuser to get them on a healthier path. This guy has seen all the research and has seen firsthand from the thousands of kids who frequent his website why kids are over weight and what can be done to stop this child obesity epidemic. His new book Overweight: What Kids Say is a must read if you have an overweight child in your life. Learn more at www.weigh2rock.com
