The parental habit of not denying anything to their child leads to dire consequences. For example, lack of dietary restrictions can lead to childhood obesity.
Obesity is the same disease as diseases of the heart, musculoskeletal system, etc. That is why, if you notice that your child has increased body weight, then you should immediately take up your child. Obesity should not be underestimated, because it is because of it that the child may have not only health problems in the future, but also mental problems - at school or kindergarten, children with increased body weight have always been teased and will be teased.
How to put a child on a diet
It is not worth resorting to strict diets in childhood, as they may cause problems with the health and development of the child. That is why you need to pay attention to the principles of proper nutrition and exercise. If your family is used to eating incorrectly, often eating fatty and sweet foods, then you should first adjust the family's diet. Otherwise, if you eat junk food, and the child is forced to eat only fruits and vegetables, he will be offended by you and will quietly gorge on extra pounds.
Diet
First you need to change your diet. To do this, learn how to cook delicious, satisfying, but low-calorie meals. If you think that low-fat meals cannot be tasty, then this is not the case. To diversify your family's diet, you can browse specialized forums on the Internet, buy several books with low-calorie recipes. After reviewing such literature, you can make sure that delicious dishes can be cooked for no more than 10-15 minutes. This will save your time, help your child lose weight, and improve his health.
It is better to eat 5 times a day, where 3 meals are lunch, dinner and breakfast, and the other two are snacks. For snacks, choose fruits, dried fruits, nuts, and other natural foods. Gradually, you should reduce the amount of fatty foods and sweets, since it is such food that leads to weight gain.
Physical exercise
The main thing in childhood is to maintain interest. That is why physical activity should bring pleasure to the child. You can arrange daily bike rides with your child, play badminton, go to the pool or just visit the parks. The main thing is to do it all the time to develop a habit. Only by combining proper nutrition with interesting physical activity, you will help your child lose those extra pounds.
