It may not be too late to give your young children a giant head start in avoiding this entire weight problem. Prevention of a lifetime burdened and shortened by weight problems often starts with parental development and enforcement of their children's proper eating habits from infancy through high school. If that didn't sink in, try this: fat kids are their parents' fault. Parents - or the caretakers many so-called "parents" delegate their parenting to - determine the eating habits and often the lifetime weight tendencies of their preschoolers. The CDC says a third of today's preschoolers -- more like half for African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans -- will develop diabetes because of their excess weight. (If you think diabetes is merely a curable nuisance, feed Google this string: diabetes feet eyes.) It's gotten so bad that, for the first time in modern history, your preschoolers' life expectancies are shorter than yours. Get it? We're killing our kids.
Children and parents may label excess weight a "weight problem", but in actuality it starts as an eating problem. Sitting in a high chair or in front of a screen all day doesn't make kids fat; it's all that eating while sitting there that makes them fat. Admitting this early focuses attention and corrective efforts on the real culprit: eating habits. (But don't bring your kids up on a low-carb diet unless they are forced into it by diagnosed Type I diabetes. Talk about setting a lifetime eating habit doomed to hamper their sports and shorten their lives!) Your kid's got to play very hard for several hours to work off that ice cream cone you gave him to shut him up, and its saturated fat still adds to his arterial plaque. And whether your kid is fat or not, you should encourage physical play as soon as she's old enough for it.
The bottom line is that to really save time in your weight management program, stop eating the wrong food and eat plenty of good food to avoid putting the weight on in the first place. It takes hours of hard exercise to burn off wrong foods eaten in just minutes. Then add exercise to get healthy, rather than simply lean. And watch those strained Twinkies during those first few years; you just might avoid the whole weight thing altogether.
