nutrition program that has helped thousands of kids lose (or maintain)
their weight and learn healthy eating habits. Designed by pediatrician
Joanna Dolgoff, MD, the program has not only proven itself to be an
effective way for children to lose weight, it is also medically founded to
ensure that children continue to get the important nutrients they need to
grow strong, healthy bodies.
Red Light, Green Light, Eat Right is based on the principles of the traffic
light and uses the power of play to get families excited about healthy
eating. Green Light foods are lowest in calories (Go!); Yellow Light foods
are moderate in calories (Slow!); Red Light foods are highest in calories
(Uh-oh!).
