How to fight child obesity the healthy way is a question many parents ask themselves very without having a real answer.
How many times have you tried to help your kid losing weight, but success was, so far, not very vivid? Well, like you know, obesity is a wide established problem, not only in the United States. With the growth of different well known fast food restaurants, the waist line grew too.
Here are different ways to help you and in addition to convert it to help your kid.
Eat more Balanced Food
One huge problem in so many schools, cafeterias do not offer healthy balanced food. Finding healthy food options is nearly impossible. Vending machines have become a very common place in almost every school. Unfortunately they are not stocked with fruits or healthy beverages.
So, trying to eat more balanced healthy food is almost impossible.
What can you do as a parent?
First, do not just leave the health fate to the kid, it is probably what brought your kid being obese in the first place. Instead try to think about different ways where you can reduce fat as much as possible when you cook. Start making healthy lunch packets for him or her. Or find another way to obtain such.
- Use oil instead of margarine.
- Smaller the food portion but it more often (5-6 meals a day)
2. Educating the kid
If necessary drag your kid outside and start do more outdoor activities.
Record his weight every day.
Best results improving a child's healthy weight will be to lead the child in way where he or she can start to make his or her own healthy decisions. Do not empower him or her.
Result; he knows to say no to fatty food when exposed to it ( e.g., at friends house and surrounded by high-fat food).
3. Be the Motivator
- It is common sense that once weight is lost, it is hard to not regain the lost pounds. If that would be fact, than we would not talk about 15 % overweight people.
Fact is, you as a parent have to start to make long term changes.
It takes time substituting changes into family's lifestyle and getting use to them.
There will be many times where boredom takes place and your kid not knowing what to do but eating unhealthy snacks or chocolate bars.
This is when you have to be the family motivator.
Remind him or her patiently and with love of the set goals.
