The family environment you set for your kids is associated with their risk of developing obesity. A survey of 8,000 children found that those who didn't eat many meals with their families but watched a lot of TV were more likely to become overweight by the third grade. Also, boys and girls who are encouraged to diet are three times more likely to be overweight five years later, because of increased binge eating, skipped breakfasts, and other unhealthy attempts to lose weight. Don't let this happen to your kids. Spend time playing outside with your kids, eat dinner and breakfast with them, and show them how much you care about their total health. JM
It's important to lead by example in all aspects of life and when you have children it shouldn't be any different. Making it a lifestyle change for the family and not a "diet" can change the outcome of the change. Making sure that your family is behind you in getting healthy will help you reach your goals while changing the overall family health as well. Make it a family project to make healthy meals and find new foods that you havent tried before. Create a happy and healthy atmosphere at home and it will make for healthier decisions outside of the home.
