[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a culture where we think that we need to snack. Every time Americans bring their kids anywhere, they are toting a snack. I would recommend cutting out all snacking. It is most likely boredom or habit rather than a hunger. Redirect his energy into something else - a hobby, sleep, sex, exercise, whatever. Good luck, it is very difficult to change bad habits.[/quote] I think there’s a lot to be said about this. It was one of my big takeaways from Weight Loss for Busy Physicians. We seem to think there’s something wrong with getting hungry in between meals. We control kids’ behavior by keeping them constantly fully sated. “Hangry” is a character flaw. I try and limit the snacking for myself and my kids. Don’t get me wrong, if we’re going a long time between meals or if we’re doing something strenuous that’s completely different, but we try and stick with gum and water in between meals. [/quote]
