The Washington Post, "Authors Offer Big Menu Of Ways to Eat Wisely" (2/13/07) : "Elisa Zied, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, isn't willing to accept that we're doomed to be fat because we move less and face more temptation to eat high-calorie food. As a mother of two, she knows that lifetime eating habits often begin at home and affect the whole family. Here, she helps readers make individualized nutrition plans, make fitness fun (even if you're dealing with such troublesome types as "the picky eater," "the food pusher" or "the food cop") and keep dietary goals at home or dining out."

Library Journal (April 1, 2007) : "With childhood obesity at epidemic proportions, these two books offer parents well-founded, practical advice for feeding their children. A Harvard pediatrician and founder of the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) Program at the Children's Hospital Boston, Ludwig, along with OWL dietician Rostler, presents a nine-week plan to help children and their families adopt healthy eating and physical activity habits. In part, he recommends eating a low-glycemic diet and not stopping for fast-food meals...Zied (So What Can I Eat?!), a registered dietician who admits to weight struggles of her own as a child, is a national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. With science and nutrition writer Winter, she focuses on all age groups, from infants to seniors. Zied gives more detailed information than does Ludwig regarding nutritional needs for specific age groups and suggestions for incorporating occasional fast-food meals into a healthy diet. Both books include recipes and menu substitutions, are personalized with frequent stories of clients who have successfully made positive lifestyle changes, emphasize family fitness activities, and dish out practical advice, e.g., eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The biggest difference between them is that Ludwig's book concentrates on helping the child with a weight problem, which leads to positive changes for the entire family, while Zied's book is intended to provide nutrition and fitness information for all family members. Both are highly recommended for public libraries and consumer health collections."

BookViews.com, "My Picks of the Month" (March 2007) : "Most parents have the very best intentions when it comes to eating in a healthy manner, staying physically active, but actually doing it often seems beyond reach given the demands on their time. This book makes it clear that they don’t have to do anything radical such as a strict diet or a daily trip to the gym. Thus we have that rarity among so many books on this topic, one that is practical as well as filled with useful information, plus recipes and meal plans, to insure the healthy lifestyle its title recommends. This book will teach you how to make fitness a family affair without having to skip those chocolate chip cookies!"
The Miami Herald, "A Meat-Free Main Dish" (March 8, 2007) : "Here's...a highly recommendable new book, Feed Your Family Right, by registered dietitian Elisa Zied...Zied's advice about food choices and portion control will be familiar to anyone who follows nutrition trends, but her whole-family approach is fresh and sensible. With about 40 recipes and lots of practical advice, this would be an excellent resource for any parent trying to understand his or her own eating issues and get the kids off to a better start."
