Author Dara-Lynn Weiss\u2019 airs her dirty linen in public in a controversial new memoir, \u201cThe Heavy: A Mother, A Daughter, A Diet.<\/a><\/strong>\u201d She shines the light on a most important topic: How can we prevent our kids from becoming overweight? The Heavy chronicles the journey of a mother\u2019s struggle to help her young daughter to get healthy. We first met Dara-Lynn and her daughter, Bea, last April in a Vogue essay from the overbearing mom\u2019s point of view. Bea was deprived and publically shamed. It wasn\u2019t pretty. The blogs condemned mom.<\/p>\n

Dietitian Evelyn Tribole, co-author of the book Intuitive Eating<\/a><\/strong>, outlines the studies nicely in this video, Warning Dieting Causes Weight Gain<\/em>.<\/p>\n
