Author, Underage and Overweight (2005 Hatherleigh Press)
Frances (Francie) M. Berg,MS, award winning author and internationally known authority on weight and eating is committed to exposing deception and calls for higher ethics in the frequently abused obesity field. Her award-winning books are widely recommended by health and nutrition professionals. She will share with us:
- components of a wellness lifestyle and how to go away from diet oriented thinking and instead focus on the wellness wheel.
- information about the Health at Every Size movement.
- her 7-step plan for raising confident, healthy-weight children.
Francie is a licensed nutritionist, family wellness specialist, and adjunct professor at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine. As founder, editor (for 16 years) and publisher of Healthy Weight Journal and author of 12 books, Francie Berg has reported the scientific research and commentary on obesity, weight loss, dysfunctional eating and size harassment to health professionals worldwide for over two decades.
Her new book Underage and Overweight: Our Childhood Obesity Crisis–What Every Family Needs to Know explores these complex issues in an easy-to-read format, and offers a 7-step plan for raising confident, healthy-weight children. A pioneer in the healthy living or health at any size movement, she advocates moving ahead to a health-centered, diet-free approach of helping children and adults of all sizes.

Over the last decade, I owned 10 women’s only fitness facilities and have coached hundreds of overweight women. I inspire them to transform their lives so they can experience greater self-acceptance and love. This results in more joyfilled lives and deeper, more authentic relationships in addition to the ability to release weight permanently.
I am the author of two books, Choose Success - Ignite the Power Within and The Secret of Permanent Weight Loss and the creator of numerous products, including the innovative program called The Women Outsmarting Weight System™ and The Transformations Trilogy Guided Imagery CDs for Body, Mind and Spirit. My website is www.outsmartweight.com.
I am providing this tele-summit for you because I've noticed trends among the women I've coached. For many of them, the habits and beliefs they acquired as children set up an adult lifetime of yo-yo dieting with feelings of low self-esteem and progressively more overweight bodies. Many of them are caught in a cycle of trying the latest quick fix or diet program, failing to take consistent action, and then judging themselves harshly for their failure, which typically just adds more pounds to their already overweight body.
In order to solve the issue of obesity in the United States, I believe it’s important to address the issue of childhood obesity now! Through this tele-summit project, I want to help YOU, the concerned Mom, learn to create a healthy environment that nurtures your child’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. I believe this will result in your kids growing into adults who know how to “BE” healthy not “do” diets. I hope you register NOW!
