Child Obesity

[newmommi2]

Hello,

My friends children are a bit overweight and they are only 8 and 10 being a new mom im worried my daughter might be come overweight ... Im not the healthiest person but I am trying .. Does any other mothers have the same worry. Also I fine it hard to buy healthy food for her since all she ever wants is chicken nuggets and chips! .. Can anyone help me with easy healthy food for children? Also .. does anyone know what trans fats mean I get so lost when trying to figure out if something is good or bad!

I think you're best to just avoid anything 'ready made' and cook fresh food which is what we mostly do and I use plenty of fats in our diet - olive oil for cooking etc. We cook plenty of fresh chicken, fish, mince etc with roast potatoes, pasta , veg though DD isn't great with veg so i often hide it in rice dishes or soup, or Dd loves dahl . And we have regular treats too but nothing huge, like a couple of biscuits as a snack, cake, some chocolate.
I think if you cook simply like this you'll be fine! Dd has never had low fat anything and has a limited diet due to several allergies but a nutritionist she was referred to said it was a pleasure to see a child who was in such healthy shape.

Hello, I am a student at sussex university and I'm currently investigating the effects of video games on childhood obesity. My goal is to take techniques used in the game industry and utilize them to engage children in group games with active nature, so they exercise with friends while having fun. I have prepared two surveys that you can complete online and help me with my research. Your input is crucial for this project and if you have some time to spare please fill them in.
Thank you in advance, Demos
