Weight Management/Healthy Eating Program Targets Childhood Obesity With 'Family-Friendly' Approach
According to the American Obesity
Association and the Centers for Disease Control, over 15 percent of children
and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are obese. Childhood obesity and its related
health consequences, including early heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, have
spiraled into a nationwide epidemic. Some scientists believe this may be the
first generation in America in which parents outlive their children.
Greg Phillips, M.S., president of SOF Publishing and creator of the THINK
LIGHT! Weight Management/Healthy Eating Program(R)
(thinklight.com), believes the solution to the problem starts at
home. "Most experts agree that reducing the incidence of childhood obesity is
dependent on families changing the way they eat," says Phillips. "Children's
perceptions are influenced by the attitudes and habits of their parents and
peers, and good parents lead by being good examples. That means that moms and
dads have to deal with their own eating issues to have a positive impact on
rest of family."
Developed by a team of registered dietitians, exercise physiologists and
behavioral specialists, THINK LIGHT! offers a "family-friendly" approach for
acquiring healthier eating habits. The proven program features a flexible
8-week eating plan complete with healthy menus, recipes and weekly grocery
lists. Participants receive ongoing education, motivation and support from the
company via email, a toll-free phone line and an online message board.
Since 1988, THINK LIGHT! has been offered in over 5,000 employee wellness
programs, hospitals, health clubs and insurance companies. According to
Phillips, the program has succeeded because of its simplicity and sensibility.
"The bottom line with behavior change is if you don't enjoy it, you probably
won't stick with it," says Phillips.
Phillips offers the following tips for helping families make
the transition to healthier eating habits:
-- Nagging your family into healthy eating gets you nowhere.
-- Kids model themselves on what you do, not what you demand.
-- To change the family's eating habits, the entire family
needs to be involved.
-- Start off by making the easy changes that are almost invisible: Switch
from full-fat mayonnaise and dressings to reduced-fat or fat-free
varieties. Make sandwiches with whole wheat bread. Bake foods instead
of frying.
-- Learn how healthy foods like fruits and vegetables can be easily
transformed into kid-friendly, great-tasting meals and snacks like meat
loaf, smoothies and pizzas.
-- Get active as a family. Children who watch more than five hours of TV
per day are four-and-a-half times more likely to become overweight than
those who watch two hours or less. TV makes unhealthy eating more
attractive through advertisements promoting unhealthy foods. Get the
whole family out for after-dinner walks.
-- Always remember, when it comes to healthy eating, there's no such thing
as cheating. There's only wandering. Wandering is not wrong or bad.
It's a normal way to eat.
