A novel that Helps
kids lose
weight
T
he first study to look at the impact
of literature on obese adolescents,
by Duke Children’s Hospital & Health
Center, produced surprising
results. Researchers asked
obese girls ages 9 to 13
who were enrolled
in a comprehensive
weight-loss program
to read an age-ap-
propriate novel
called Lake Res-
cue. The book,
crafted with the
aid of pediatric
experts, includes specific healthy lifestyle and weight man-
agement guidance, as well as positive messages and strong
role models.
Six months later, the girls who had read Lake Rescue
experienced a significant decrease in their body mass index
scores when compared with a control group in the program
who had not read the novel.
