with low-fat and no-fat foods,"
Stanley said. "They don't realize the
impact they're having.
"We are seeing young women who
are trying to consume zero fat
grams," she said. "That's dangerous."
Girls who eat little or no fat often
stunt their reproductive development,
and some adolescent girls are suffer-
ing from premature osteoporosis.
More than that, Stanley said,
women today often believe they are
doing their children a favor by
restricting their diets. They teach
their children that there are good
foods and bad foods.
"Food takes on a forbidden quali-
ty," Stanley said. "Food is 'the
enemy.'
So what's a mother to do?
Waterhouse said there are three
questions today's mothers of daugh-
ters should ask themselves:
• Do you and/or your daughter fear
weight gain?
Be honest. If you've done the
grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet,
Jenny Craig, Nutri-System and the
Zone, or encouraged your daughter
to try any or all of the above, the
answer to this question is yes.
• Do you and/or your daughter
think about what you weigh and what
you will and will not allow yourself to
eat on a daily basis?
If you climb on the scale every
morning, and the results make or
break your day, that's a problem. If
you make promises to yourself about
what you will or will not eat, you're
too focused on food.
• Do you and/or your daughter prac-
tice any other weight-loss attempts such
as: skipping meals, 24-hour fasts, diet
pills, excessive exercise, diuretics, laxa-
tives or vomiting?
None are healthy, according to
Waterhouse.
If you or your daughter can relate
to any of these behaviors, it may be
time to declare "food independence"
at your house, Waterhouse said. She
has written a Food Bill of Rights,
which includes "The right to eat ice
cream for dinner," The right to dis-
like broccoli," and "The right to bear
hips and thighs."
Though others may diagree,
Waterhouse believes that most chil-
dren can be trusted to eat what they
need, when they need it, without
parental intervention.
While some parents fear their chil-
dren would eat only candy and ice
cream if left to their own devices,
Waterhouse insists it won't happen.
