Trim
Kids
Children are the fastest
growing segment of the population experiencing obesity. Kids
are encouraged to be couch potatoes by playing video games and
watching television. Most kids today don't play outside like
generations past. Technology has kept them indoors and more
sedentary than in the past.
The Trim Kids plan teaches
parent and child how to reshape their thinking about foods.
Both learn to choose healthier choices for eating that are not
gross and tasteless to eat. Kids learn that vegetables don't
have to be slipped under the table to the family dog. Veggies
can actually taste good.
With the new knowledge, kids
will start losing weight. They learn how to enjoy exercise and
that exercising with family members is great motivator and fun
at the same time. As they lose weight, their confidence in
themselves begins to rise as well.
The Trim Kids diet plan is a
twelve week program. Parents have to be onboard with their
kids in order for this plan to be a success. We have to do the
tough thing and say no to fast food, meals out of a can, and
unhealthy snacks. Without parental involvement, kids will
return to their old eating habits in no time.
Because they are kids, no
food is restricted. Kids don't do well with too many limits.
The name of the game is portion control. Sitting in front of
the television or computer screen with a bag of chips are the
type of eating habits that result in overeating. Any snacks
can be repackaged into snack bags so that only a single
serving is eaten at any one time.
Parents don't just dictate
to the kids they guide them with this diet plan. Learning the
reason behind why certain foods are not good helps the entire
process make sense. If kids know why they shouldn't eat sugary
and high fat foods, they can apply this knowledge everywhere
like school, at the mall, and eating out with the
family.
Physical activity is
important to the Trim Kids plan. Unless the kids get moving,
the weight will stay glued to them. Kids think of exercise as
boring and hard. There are options for exercise that take into
account age of the child, activity level, and their weight.
Starting out slow is the way to create a lasting plan. Don't
stick to one exercise or activity - instead, choose several.
Parents lose weight and
develop healthy eating habits as well on the Trim Kids plan.
Losing weight becomes a family affair. Everyone adopts
healthier habits that will last a lifetime.
Once the program is over,
kids have learned how to choose food, get more exercise, and
feel good about themselves. As the weight starts coming off,
the kids will want to do more of what they are doing and lose
more weight. Trim Kids is a lifestyle change program and not
just the diet of the
moment.
