I have no choice. Actually, when I'm under control, I feel very strong and don't feel like I'm struggling, it's when I've lost control and am overeating everyday, that it's a struggle to turn it around again. Hopefully, we can help our children see the benefit of making good food choices. But before we can help a child, we need to know why he or she is overweight.
Some families are naturally lean.
The people in these families don't think much about food and have an inherent signal that tells them to stop eating when they've satisfied their hunger. Even pop is a problem. A recent study published in The Lancet medical journal found a soft drink-obesity link in children. If they increased their daily soft drink intake, each extra soda made them 60 percent more likely to become obese, regardless of how many sodas they were drinking before. Being inactive is well known as a cause of obesity.
