The 7 simple tips to help children lose weight are:
1. Every family needs to eat well
The motto should be if the child or adolescent needs to lose weight, then everyone inside the home should adopt the same diet because it is easier to follow the diet.
2. Do not make separate food for the child
Since everyone inside the house needs to eat well, it is not because the child or adolescent is fatter than the parents or sibling can eat a lasagna in front of him, while he eats salad. Therefore, everyone needs to eat the same and stimulate each other.
3. Set an example by eating healthy foods
Older people are the source of inspiration for younger people, so parents and siblings, uncles and grandparents also need to collaborate by consuming fruits, vegetables and salads daily, avoiding fast food, fatty foods, fried foods and stuffed cookies.
4. Not having high calorie foods at home
Since no one can eat foods high in fat and sugar, the best strategy is to always have very healthy foods in the refrigerator and in the cupboards because it is easier to avoid temptation.
5. Make most meals at home
Eating outside the home can be a problem, because usually in shopping malls it is easier to find fast food and foods that do not contribute to the diet, so the ideal is that most meals are prepared at home, with healthy and nutritious ingredients.
6. Do not fry at home, prefer cooked or grilled
To cook food well, with less fat, the ideal is that it be cooked or grilled. The fries must be left out and must be eliminated.
7. Doing family outdoor activities
The regular practice of physical exercises that the child likes, such as riding a bicycle, playing football or playing in the pool, should be repeated regularly, together with everyone or any member of the family, so that the child is motivated and does not give up losing weight.
