Kiwi women and girls are dieting their way out of a chance to have children, says a leading fertility specialist.
Dr Stella Milsom says young women should slow down, eat more and exercise moderately - or pay "too great a price".
The Auckland Fertility Associates endocrinologist said she was sick of reading stories trumpeting the weight loss of the same celebrities who visited her clinic for treatment.

Know What's Creating Young Picky Eaters? Pressure to Eat
By Maureen Salamon, MyHealthNewsDaily Contributor
Source: www.myhealthnewsdaily.com
You can lead a child to broccoli, but you can't make him eat it, the old saying goes. Oh, it doesn't? In any case, a new study suggests this is the reality for parents — those who pressure their kids to chow down produce youngsters who are more likely to be picky eaters.
The answers given by 104 mothers of children ages 3 through 6 in the United Kingdom to questions about their kids' behaviors showed that urging them to eat significantly raised the chances the kids would dig in their heels and refuse.
The study also found that food avoidance was more common in children of certain emotional temperaments, as well as those of parents who use food to shape behavior and don't encourage a varied, balanced diet.

Guest Blogger posting by Marie Campion @ Marino Therapy Centre
When I heard that Joanna was to have her book published, I knew it would be great, but having read Healing Your Hungry Heart(HHH) I would need to say – the book is absolutely brilliant.
This book is very educational, providing the reader with a great understanding and many very useful tools for recovery. It is written in such a wonderful language, making it easy for the reader to understand. I have read so many books weighed down with jargon and impossible complicated sentences that I cast them, aside and never finished reading them. This book reminds the reader of the spirit of the person.
I feel it can offer wonderful guidance for the sufferer, their families, and ED Practitioners. This book is teaching us to be open to all experiences that life has to offer.
HHH brings so needed understanding of this complex illness. It explores issues, which were not yet studied enough and talk about - like the chapter on sexuality issues. Reading this book helps you to understand that ED is not just a “young girls illness”. This myth, which keeps so many people suffering in isolation.
Many of my clients found inspiration and hope and abundance, after reading HHH.
Joanna’s experiences described in HHH helps me on a personal and professional level as well. It has also encouraged me in my quest for knowledge, understanding of human nature, and the absolute importance of compassion.
HHH is a great tool in one’s recovery.
Thank you Joanna for sharing with us your experiences.
Marie Campion, author of “Hope”

Support for young people with eating disorders
Eating disorders are serious and complex conditions, affecting people of any age and gender, with the condition Anorexia Nervosa carrying the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
I recently wrote for Mental Healthy articles about the rise of eating disorders in men and the rise of young people being admitted to hospital for eating disorders and yet despite these alarming figures there is still a distinct lack of research in the area of men and the experiences of young people.
