Reviews
Achieving a healthy weight in our modern world is hard for us all - monumentally so. In this inspiring, heartfelt and deeply practical book, Dr Gary Leong embraces the complexity of the obesity challenge and shows how to harness the power of families to transform their lives and communities by approaching the challenge 'just one thing at a time'. This has to be the way of the future. We must learn new habits, follow Gary's KINIMS (yes, he makes up words too), and 'ride together' to break the cycle of obesity. - PROFESSOR STEPHEN J. SIMPSON, ACADEMIC DIRECTOR, CHARLES PERKINS CENTRE, UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OBESITY AUSTRALIA.
