Comment on the Kids and Food. thread from yesterday. I don’t comment to much, I am mostly a “lurky”, but I thought this topic was worth commenting on. Well of them are, I just mostly read the threads and stories.
I just want to comment on the Kids and Food string from yesterday.
First I would like to say “Kudos” to all the parents and future parents that care what their kids eat. If we had more parents caring about that, we wouldn’t have the child obesity problem. Our children learn from us, and if we don’t teach them who will? I do understand the obesity problem, and part of it is the parents(and those darn video games), and that at the end of the day, they are just to tired to worry about getting them the right food when they just want them fed and out of their hair. I have been guilty on occasion.
I know there are a lot more factors that come in to play on obesity…….
My kids are not skinny or fat by any means, although the doctors would say that my son is obese, he is not. They don’t take in the factors of body types. My son is 6 and weighs 65 pounds, he is not chunky but solid. (muscular). I have to buy him larger shirts just to fit his shoulders, he is six and already has very broad shoulders, I should add he is tall for his age. People assume he is older than he is due to his size. My daughter (5) is just average all around.
The “cure” starts with one parent and one child at a time…..oh and difo!…..In my house, I use moderation, I don’t deny them certain things, but I do regulate it. I let them have the cookies and fruit snacks and things like that…..but I also make sure they are getting the fruits and veggies and protein they need. At 5 & 6, they understand the difference between healthy snacks and non-healthy snacks. I think if “we” teach our kids moderation, they have a better chance of being healthy adults. I have so much more I want to say, but don’t want to make this too long.
I would personally like to thank difo, for all the ideas, recipes and many other things that I have incorporated into my life, now if only everyone would peruze (sp) difo……baby steps!
Difo Rocks!
Weigh in tomorrow evening, what should I eat?. So I have my weigh in tomorrow for my powerlifting competition on Saturday. I am down to 185 as of this morning, and I need to be down to 181. Weigh in is at 6pm tomorrow, so I am wondering what exactly what I should eat during the day to keep my weight low.
I am going to cut just about all water out starting at 6 tonight (I’ve been drinking 2+ gallons of water), and am planning on doing sweatsuit cardio starting at 4 tomorrow. That should take care of it, but I would like to try and get down in the 170s (have to get to 175 for a competition in September). Any ideas?
got a question. does drinking alchol make you gain excess weight
Good Morning all! What’s for breaky?. I’m at home this morning because I have to take my 5yr old to orientation (first year of school) this morning. So I scrambled 2 eggs, put 2 teaspoons of medium salsa & steamed a bag of broccoli & cauliflower. Sooooo yummy!!
I also lifted weights this morning.
Thursday Breakfast and Exercise!. Good morning, Difo!
I had a spinach and cheddar omelet and coffee.
Will hit the gym soon for some intervals and lifting.
Someone made me eat this. a long time ago and it is so good. I would never have thought
Cheddar cheese and (a ton of) alfalfa sprouts on whole wheat.
family member drinks 1-2 gal. diet soda/day. is there anything wrong with this? has frequent mood swings and flies into rages for no apparent reason. about to get shit canned from his job because difficult to deal with. I tell him to lay off as he drank probably his first gallon sunday morning by 11am. does anybody else see a problem here? has odd skin color, looks like rat has been chewing on his face, is scrawny, no muscle tone,
