1. Insist that they have a healthy breakfast: a combination of protein, fruit and a carbohydrate. Breakfast need not be complicated. Peanut butter on toast topped with apple slices with a glass of milk will start their day right. Another alternative would be ahard boiled egg and fruit smoothie, made with fresh fruit and a half English muffin.

If your child insists they do not have time for breakfast, make lunch the night before and refrigerate to grab and go. You kid does not like breakfast cereal? Well breakfast should not be bacon, eggs and hash browns. A slice of pizza will do very well if it is heavy on the tomato sauce and light on cheese.

2. Single serving snacks using healthy and have easily accessible.Unsalted pretzels, low sodium salt crackers, carrot sticks, single size servings of cottage cheese, low fat low energy filled snacks all do. The problem is when the child eats about a box of pretzels. Prepackaged single serving portions help avoid this. Portions of the package yourself in Zip Lock bags to save money.

Take all the bad fat high-sugar snacks high. Nobody in the family really needs anyway. If they are not in the house your child will not be reminded of themand probably will not miss them. If you just had your chips, put them in the back of the freezer. They will not try your grandchildren and they'll defrost quickly.

The high-energy drinks popular with children now should be a no no if your child is on a program of weight loss. They are full of sugar which means calories and caffeine, which some children do not need . Replace the plain bottled water. Go easy on diet drinks. The artificial sweetener can cause digestive problems.The juice is healthy but full of sugar. Dilute the juice with half water and return to container. Your child will not even notice.

Cut the milk rich in fat and use skim. If your child balks, use the trick of juice. Dilute whole milk with 2% milk. Gradually decrease milk rich in fat and increase by 2% until the milk is only 2%. Do the same thing using half 2% milk and half 1% milk. And again substituting skim milk 50% skimmed milk 1%. Ina few weeks your child willpainlessly switched on skim milk.

3. Cut out fast food as much as possible. The tendency is to eat too much, too fast. Fast food is loaded with fat and salt. If the rest of the family is having burgers and fries for your child with mustard and ketchup only, no mayonnaise, add tomatoes and lettuce for extra bulk up the hamburger. Substitute a small salad with just a smidge of dressing or apple slices instead of chips. Chicken is an even more until it isfried.

What the child is drinking, figures in their daily caloric intake. Avoid soft drinks. Offer plain or flavored waters instead.

The most important addition to any weight loss for children is to point your child not to feel different because they are on a program of weight loss. Nobody likes to feel excluded or disadvantaged, especially children. Revamp your family meals with low fat but tasty, everyone will benefit.
