How To Help Your Obese Child
More and more children are becoming obese. This was not the case 20 years ago. And the major culprit to this is the American food supply. There are so many drugs and chemicals in the food supply, that it's making us all fat. But, you can help your son or daughter lose the weight and get into great and healthy shape.
Obese children are frequently teased and made fun of, not only at school, but almost everywhere in public. It can cause them to drift slowly into a depression, something our kids shouldn't even be able to spell yet much less suffer from. Their self-confidence will decrease and the extra weight increases their risk of various health problems. It will take much patience to help your child through obesity. It's not going to be easy to change his or her eating habbits, but you will have to do this incrementally in order for him or her to lose weight.
The first step is to increase physical activity. The energy expenditure of kids suffering from obesity needs to be increased to help burn stored fat. Most children enjoy being active but some don't because they are teased, so try to start off slowly and not with a group of kids who will tease one another. When you motivate them to be physically active with the aim of treating their obesity, you will also notice other amazing changes. Previously shy and introverted children will start making friends and smiling!
One thing that you should never do is have your children follow any of those trendy diets or fast. The best thing you can do is to take your child to a dietician specializing in obesity. They will make various calculations and from there compile an eating plan specifically suited to your child, which is wonderful, because parent's also need some guidance to make it work and a dietician will be there for you every step of the way.
Emotional stability plays a big role in treating obese children. Never tease your child or make them feel they are worth any less than others. Don't single them out, let the whole family start eating healthy and exercising, that way your little girl or boy won't feel alone. Combine all the points mentioned above and you will start seeing results.
It takes many unhealthy meals and unhealthy habits to gain weight, it happens over a period of time. One thing you should not forget is that as soon as you have your child start a weight loss program, do not expect your child to lose all the weight over night, it's going to take some time!
