Share your diet with your family #TheStubbornFatFix #DrKeithBerkowitz

If you eat one way while everyone else in the family eats another way, you won’t stay on the diet for long. There’s no reason not to introduce the Stubborn Fat Fix way of eating to your entire family. We’re talking about real food. More than one in five kids is overweight, and type 2 diabetes affects kids as young as age four. Both overweightness and diabetes are related to diets rich in processed foods and fast food. To get your kids on board, introduce pure foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and other whole foods. The only reason children like Twinkies is because grown-ups let them taste them. We know kids who say, “McDonald’s? That’s yucky!”. That’s because their parents taught them this view, and, more important, never took them to a fast food restaurant during their formative years. Get your kids involved in choosing healthful foods when shopping. Let them put the carrots, apples, another foods in the cart. Save less-healthy snacks for special occasions.
