How to Lose Weight Fast For Kids

The latest childhood obesity statistics say 17% of children and adolescents aged two to 19 years old are obese. We're talking about 12 million kids! It's no wonder why so many parents are looking for how to lose weight fast for kids.

Did you know obesity has tripled among kids since the early 1980s?

Did you also know that one out of seven low-income, preschool-aged children are obese?




I found all these stats on the CDC Website and they even show you maps of all the places in America where child obesity is prevalent.



Step 1 - Change Your Mindset

• Please do everything you can to avoid so called diets. Most of them are pointless and only cause you to revert back to where you were before you started. You see, when you start a diet, it's as if you feel there's an end to it in a few months.

• You've accomplished a few things but then you revert back to your old ways. This won't work with children especially.

• Step one is a mindset change for the whole family. If you really want your child to drop some pounds then it's got to be a whole family effort.

Step 2 - Change Eating Habits

• "We have an unprecedented amount of type II diabetes in our children, and we are starting to see hypertension in our children in

          grammar school." - Richard Carmona, former Surgeon General of the 'nited States.

• Did you know that obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are all mainly diet-related health issues that cost the United States around 120 billion dollars per year?

• A really, really fast way for your child to lose weight is by changing the family diet.

• I do want to tell you that plant-based foods eaten on a regular basis alone with a drastic reduction in processed foods like cookies, chips, crackers, pies, cakes, etc. will allow an overweight child to shed pounds in merely weeks.

• By plant-based I just mean lots of veggies, fruits, whole grains, tubers, and legumes. No bleached flour, refined sugar, and bad oils.

         
      Step 3 - Fun Fitness Activities For Kids

• The final step is by incorporating more exercise for kids. It's much more difficult in today's world because many homes have both parents working so after school kids tend to sit the whole time watching TV, playing video games or surfing on the Internet.

• We all know the CDC recommends 60 minutes of kids exercise per day. I don't want you or your kids to think of it like that. Let's just say our kids need to have fun and stay active for at least 60 minutes per day.

I'm so excited to share this information with you because I believe with all my heart these tips will absolutely help your child.

We just need to change our mindset instead of thinking "diet." We need to eat healthier foods together as a family especially at dinner time. We also need to remain active but have fun doing it. This is How to Lose Weight Fast For Kids
