[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]44 year old Preschool teacher here: I also teach that we eat our protein and veg/fruit first because that is filling. The dessert/sweet treats are always saved for last. When we talk about nutrition, we discuss foods we want to eat more of vs foods we want to eat in moderation. [/quote] Using sweet foods as a reward is a terrible idea. [/quote] Having cookies at the end of the meal isn't a "reward", it's eating food in order. Fwiw, metabolically, it's healthiest. [/quote] No, it's not "healthiest." That is nonsense. Putting sweets last on purpose creates the idea that sweet stuff is a reward and it is forbidden until other things are gone is what contributes to disordered eating. Food does not need to be eaten "in order" and actually it is better to eat sweet stuff first than later. Salads are supposed to be eaten after meals vs. before. You don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]
