Hidden Fat In Food
It's not only the fat you put on food but the fat in foods that can sabotage your eating strategy. Watch out for:

  • Processed foods—especially those that list shortening, oil, butter or other forms of fat as the first ingredient on their labels
  • "Shiny" salad-bar selections—these are coated with oil to prevent them from drying out
  • Fast-food restaurant offerings—generally, the faster the food, the higher the fat
  • Bakery and packaged muffins—typically high in fat
  • Restaurant burgers—generally larger-than-average portion size, and often fried in grease on a grill

Weight Control For Children
There are many approaches to weight control in children. They include increasing movement, motion and active physical play, changing family shopping, cooking and eating to include more nutritious, lower calorie foods, and helping children feel good about themselves.

Building Good Food Habits

  • Set a good example. Children imitate what they see
  • Designate and keep meal and snack times to prevent eating all day
  • Keep the child busy since he/she may eat out of boredom instead of hunger
  • Limit the places for eating
  • Separate eating from other activities such as watching television, shopping at the mall and riding in the car
  • Serve small portions on individual plates
  • Don't say clean your plate! It's OK to leave food on the plate
  • Help the child eat slowly by having a pleasant mealtime conversation
  • Include the child in planning, shopping, and cooking meals
  • Don't nag about weight or tell the child he/she is fat. Changes in appearance take time
  • Store food out of sight and reach
  • Have low-calorie snacks such as raw vegetables and fruits ready
