[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need to see a ped or nutritionist for this.  This problem can be easily solved:

[b]1- No processed snack of any kind in  house,
[/b]2- no soda or sugar drink in the house,
3- have a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner with strict calories intake everyday.  Those meals should have healthy contents and lot of fruit and vegetable.  this should be a lifetime goal,
4- hire a personal trainer to help him with his everyday work out.  this should be a lifetime goal

examples of non processed snacks other than carrots/fruits etc. ?[/quote]

Semi-processed but healthy:  string cheese, low-sugar yogurt (my kids like vanilla Siggis--I buy it by the tub), a little peanut butter with apples[/quote]

If DC is resistant to fresh fruit at first, bananas and grapes usually work well. Clementine oranges. But, yes, adding some protein makes the snack or meal more filling.[/quote]

are those really that much better than a, say, protein bar or natural valley bar? serious question.[/quote]

Because of the difference in sugar content, usually yes. Protein bars are often intended as a meal substitute and therefore high in calories, granola bars usually have a lot of added sugar as well. People often don't realized how much sugar they consume. It helps to start looking at labels with an eye to sugar in particular, and added chemicals in general. There are low- or no-sugar options for lots of things now.[/quote]
