They need the nutrition to get them focused and ready for the school day. Now parents are in charge of this meal – so no excuses.

Next find out what healthy things your kid will eat. Write down all the ingredients that your kid likes to eat and will eat. Now build healthy meals around those ingredients.

How To Turn Your Salad Into A Sandwich

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to turn a salad into a sandwich. The key to a good sandwich is the bread – choose a multi-grain or wheat bread. Make your sandwich heavier on the veggies and less reliant on the meat. Between the bread and the vegetables this will give you lots of fiber which will make you feel full. To add a nice crunch use crunchy ingredients like crumbled PopChips, sprouts, and cucumbers. And get your flavor from low calorie ingredients like balsamic vinegar, and pickles instead of oils and mayo. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

They are teaching kids how to eat right, portion control, even how to prepare healthy meals themselves. And by being around other kids that look like they do they feel more comfortable opening up and trying new physical activities. These campers are losing weight, lowering their blood pressure and learning the skills they need to get back on track to live a healthy active life. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Backlash

Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Backlash

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain why there is a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution backlash. First, we are big fans of what Jamie is trying to do. Moving kids away from processed school food to a more fresh and healthful menu is a good idea. And sadly we have such bureaucracy in the school system that it is difficult to make these changes. And are we really shocked that when given a choice between stir fried vegetables and french fries more kids want the fries. Jamie should be congratulated for even trying and his methods should be implemented over a long time rather than a few weeks. And guess what, when the kids have only choices between healthy foods then they will prefer eating healthy food. And parents I don’t really care if my kid prefers chicken nuggets or pizza over veggies – our job is to feed them foods high in nutrition not just foods they like to eat.
