How to Induce Weight Loss in Kids!

Kids may be the most blessed gifts for a couple, as well as for the whole neighborhood itself! However, an increasing problem with kids these days is obesity, and it seems that the world is slowly realizing that puppy fat that withered away as the kids grew older, is not withering away at all.

In fact, the ‘sweet’ fat that parents tend to ignore when the kids are barely crawling become a headache when they become epitomes of intense obesity as the latter grow up. And as the news of the age proves, obesity can cause a large number of problems in kids as well – with some being slow growth, slower reactions and more serious illnesses like blood pressure issues, cardiac problems et al.

 So what do you feed the kids that restrain them from becoming mounds of living fat? The easiest way to stop this trend of weight gain is to prohibit them from eating too much of any one thing. This especially works for things they love the most – for instance sweets, candy, butter, chocolate etc.

Shift to low-cal options without compromising on the nutritional element of the food products, Remember, you need to put your kids on a strict diet; but not starve them!

So instead of gifting your kids with potato chips, chocolates & sodas, make them eat fruits, vegetables and milk instead. And practice what you preach – go on a diet. For kids emulate their parents the best – and if you are a diet criminal, you cannot play the food police to your kids, right?!
