Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh: Online Child and Adolescent Weight Management Program: 96% Success Rate!

About Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh: Child and Adolescent Weight Management Program

Joanna Dolgoff, M.D has developed a groundbreaking new approach to child and adolescent weight loss.

Dr. Dolgoff is the creator of "Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh", a child and adolescent weight management program that is now available online. Dr. Dolgoff has divided over a thousand foods into green light, yellow light, and red light categories with appropriate serving sizes. Based on height, weight, age and gender, each child is allotted a certain number of colors for each meal and snack. This simple system allows children to learn which foods are healthiest without counting calories or fat. Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh (www.DrWeigh.com) offers specific, pediatrician-developed instructions.

Children can eat any food; nothing is off limits. According to Dr. Dolgoff, "You can't expect a child to go to a party and not eat a piece of cake. A diet that doesn't incorporate real-life (red light) foods is destined to fail." Dr. Dolgoff aims to teach kids which foods are healthiest and what normal serving sizes look like. "I think the key to my program's success is that it is a specific plan that can be followed by families everywhere. The fact that there isn't guesswork is very important. The simple instructions are clear cut and not vague", said Dr. Dolgoff.

Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh is receiving significant media attention due to its high success rate. 96% of children following the program lose weight at a typical rate of 3.25 pounds per month. The maximum acceptable rate of weight loss for children is between three and four pounds per month. Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh has been praised nationally on WNBC News and in the tri-state area on My9News and WPIX News. Dr. Dolgoff has also served as a child obesity expert for WABC News.

The Dr. Dolgoff's Weigh website (www.DrWeigh.com) includes a food database of over 1,000 foods categorized by color and serving size, kid-friendly and low-calorie recipes that your kids are sure to love, over two weeks worth of meal and snack suggestions, message boards for kids and parents to connect with other overweight kids and their parents, and nutrition lessons geared towards kids.
