Does anyone have tips on getting my kids to eat healthier?

Question by bebeangelsmami: Does anyone have tips on getting my kids to eat healthier?
I never reallized it until yesterday, but we went to a B-day party and my kids ate double the food of all the other kids.(They had lunch about 45 minutes before the party.) They are slightly overweight, but nothing that the doctor has gotten concerned about. Should I just cut out junk food all together? Or limit it to special occassions. I don’t want them to have to struggle with weight and diets as I have. Most importantly, I want them to be healthy and active. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Smart momma!

When they get home from school, give them a plate of celery with peanut butter. This is not only healthy, but gives them protein (they’ll stay full longer!)

If they want a snack, get some low fat popcorn. It tastes good and they’ll never know the difference.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are key. Their bodies are developing and they need all the nutrition they can get. Cut out sodas and give them milk. Cut out ice cream and get them yogurt.

You don’t have to totally change their diets, just make it more healthy….buy low fat, buy HEALTHY snacks, and get them moving.

If you have the means, sign them up for karate. Karate teaches so many wonderful principles, one of which is caring for the mind and body.

Good luck, and good thinking!
