Moms and Dads and HCG

By Amelia Handley

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.

Kids are also spending a lot more time inside in comparison to "back in the day." Parents aren't comfortable sending their kids to "play outside." There are safety issues that can't be ignored. There are many who don't have an "outside" to refer to because they live in the middle of the city with little or no safe, outdoor recreational areas. Carefree, roaming kids are a thing of the past because it's just not safe to send kids out unchaperoned anymore.

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 management suggests that their dieters set a good example for their children. They should share their healthy food choices with their kids instead of eating healthy, but providing their families with the quick and easy (and usually high fat) meals that they are used to. Other family members can enjoy the same foods dieters are eating (they just need to be provided with larger servings). Family members can also enjoy a wider variety of food choices in comparison to the dieter's strictly regulated choices; the benefits are numerous for dieter and family members alike.

Incorporating HCG approved foods into the family's meal time means that you can eat together as a family and studies indicate that this provides a wide array of benefits from increasing kids' chances of excelling in school to increasing the probability that your kid will say no to smoking. It will also provide the opportunity for parents to set an example for their kids by eating healthy foods. And it teaches kids to be comfortable eating healthy foods. They'll get accustomed to seeing it at meal time and will eventually learn to incorporate it into their diets on their own. So parents can feel comfortable knowing that when kids are out and about they know how to eat healthy and just might do it. - 17273
