Testimonials

“Richard and Joey have a long track record of working to promote activity amongst our children and, beyond that, to keep our children active.  Given the extent of the childhood obesity crisis, they’ve obviously got their work cut out.  That’s why parents and families need to be involved, and that’s why, “Please Mum, Don’t Supersize Me” is so important.  It’s my view that anybody reading it will be a mile in front when it comes to tackling this growing problem if they only follow some of the advice provided here.  It’s a timely and worthwhile publication.”

“I spent my childhood years playing every sport that was on offer, from Rugby League and Union to little Athletics and Cricket. I was fortunate to have parents that had a passion for sport. It was playing these games and leading an active lifestyle as a child that has led me to achieving my sporting goals as an adult today. As a professional sportsman part of my role includes attending schools for coaching clinics and I have seen first hand the ever increasing problems that have occurred in children’s diet and lifestyle due to our rapidly changing society.

Richard and Joey Marc, authors of “Please Mum Don’t Supersize Me, have simplified the confusion and offered parents an easy guide of providing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for their children. I have no hesitation in recommending this book as a useful resource guide for any parent seeking additional and helpful hints, to enable them to educate their children in a positive manner on maintaining and living an active and healthy life.”

“An easy to read book that encourages parent’s and family members towards educating and positively influencing a child’s diet through balancing food intake with physical activity. The ‘parents tips’ provide innovative ideas that facilitate children consuming healthier foods. The fun games and challenges not only make this book ideal for children but will directly contribute to overall improvement for the entire family’s health.”

“Great book – As parents we are always worried whether our children are overweight but weren’t sure how to find out. The book has guidelines which we found very helpful. It is written with very little technical jargon which made it easy to read and understand. The ideas on how to change your childrens’ eating habits are an answer to parent’s prayers. Some of the tips re-inforced the things we were already doing and others gave us new ideas to try out. We highly recommend you give this book a read.”

“The quality I admire about Richard and Joey is for their true compassion of how obesity affects our kids today emotionally, physically and spiritually. My daughter was struggling with her weight and Richard worked with her for months where she lost weight, was a lot healthier but more than anything gained confidence which has changed her life forever. I only wish the advice Richard & Joey share in their book was given to me earlier.”

"I found Please Mum, Don't Supersize Me to be an informative and have a common sense approach to childhood health and well being. As a busy mum of an active 3 year old I am aware of of the importance of not just my daughter being fit and healthy, but the entire family. I found the book gave me tips and techniques in an easy to read format that I could put into practice, which I found very useful. Although I consider myself to be knowlegable in fitness and healthy eating, I still managed to find the facts and information in the book helpful."
