I'm pleased to read of your and your fdaughter's success. No-S is a safe
diet for kids and I can't think it could trigger anorexia, like some diets
do. One of my nieces is anorexic and now has just manged to go up a dress
size from 8 to 10, that's British sizes, which are about 2 sizes smaller
than US and she's over 6 feet tall.
