Kids' Weight Loss - Weight Loss for Kids

Do you look at your child and worry about their future? Wonder if they are at risk of developing diabetes due to the excess weight they are carrying? Maybe your child is being bullied at school, suffering the torturous taunts in the playground, the name-calling - 'fatty', 'who ate all the pies?'

You can put a stop to all this now. It doesn't cost a lot of money, just a bit of effort from the whole family.

Spend at least 1 hour a day moving

This is not as hard as you may think. It may include 20 minutes walking to and from school each day, 15 minutes play at lunchtime and 25 minutes taking part in a sport, whether it is on the school basketball team or a quick session with the family at the local tennis courts.

Introduce more fruit and veg

Ban the chocolate or cookie cupboard. Cut out the temptations, if it's not in the house then the kids can't have it. Simple. Encourage them to have 5 or more pieces of fruit and veg a day. Not only will this help them to lose weight but it will give them more vitamins and antioxidants in their body.

Avoid restaurants/ fast food joints

Sure, you can order healthy foods in a restaurant but preparing and making the food at home allows you to have more control of the calorie and fat consumption. Plus, it seems unfair to take a child to McDonald's, surrounding them with burgers and fries and ordering a salad for them.

Most importantly, set a good example to your children. You are responsible for their health. Be active with your kids. Play with them. Play football, go swimming. Make it fun for the whole family. You may be busy hardworking parents but this is no excuse not to spend just an hour and day with your children. Think of the benefits - healthier children, a fitter you, and no doubt a stronger family bond.
