Moms and Dads and HCG
According to recent statistics there are many obese adults in America. The numbers of obese Americans continue to rise. While we, as a society, know this...we don't seem willing to alter our lifestyle to eliminate or slow down the problem's growth. And it's not only the adult population that is suffering. We've got a noticeable obesity issue amongst the American youth as well.
Things are very different than they were 50 years ago...or even 15 years ago. Kids are eating things out of boxes and plastic wraps far more often than they're eating anything fresh. Kids are feeding themselves rather than enjoying a home cooked meal made from scratch from fresh ingredients. And when our kids are in charge of preparing their own meals...it's no surprise that the majority will reach for a boxed meal rather than learning to whip up something healthy for their dinner.
Children don't spend as much time outside. It's not as easy to send children out on their own as it was in the past due to safety issues (it's hard to ignore the daily news) and in some cases...proximity issues. Many live in cities where there really isn't a "great outdoors" that children can access for outdoor fun.
So the growth of obesity amongst our youth really isn't very surprising. Parents who recognize the problem often feel it's out of their control as many school age children are eating breakfast and lunch at school. The only meal left to regulate is dinner. And even when the problem is identified...some see the creation of healthy meals as a headache that requires a lot of time and more money than the quick and easy alternatives.
HCG Diet Direct urges dieters to share their new knowledge of healthy foods with their entire families. Family members not on the diet should not be limited when it comes to portion size and they shouldn't be required to limit their intake to the items on the HCG approved food list, but incorporating HCG approved foods into the diet of other family members is a great idea and can only benefit the spouse and children of the dieter.
First, you get to enjoy time together as a family during meals when you're all eating together. There are countless studies that point out the widely varied positive results of spending meal times as a family. Second, parents can teach by example. If kids see their parents enjoying healthy foods they are more likely to see it as a viable option in their own lives. And third, children will become accustomed to eating healthy foods. The general rule of thumb is to serve a dish 3 times and even if it wasn't particularly enjoyed the first time...it's typically fully incorporated after the third introduction. Teaching kids to know and enjoy healthy foods will go a long way towards eliminating the issue of obesity; and its an issue that is best nipped in the bud. - 17274
