Weight Loss For Kids

How can you as a parent help with weight loss for kids?

First, stick to the basics. Don't stress about counting calories, fat grams and carbohydrates. Instead, stock up on healthy meals and snacks and encourage regular physical activity.

The problem is that it is hard to stay motivated to do these things because it will usually involve some lifestyle changes.

These are often easier to implement for younger children, and have the added advantage of establishing good habits that typically carry on into the teen years and beyond.
