[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree about portions. I have think you have to slowly pare down the portions. I also notice that some families go a lot heavier on the carbs then they realize. Ditto with the fruits..some fruits have a ton of carbs and sugars and don't realize this. When I see heavy kids usually there is a heavy parent in the family. In our family I realized my husband was the heavy one and it was affecting the rest of us. I unconsciously was serving larger portions and also noticed too many carbs. We are working on this but in a non dramatic way. One banana a day is fine--2 or 3 are too many. Larger chicken portion and small amount of whole wheat pasta. If another portion it is more of the chicken and less of the pasta. Better yet is chicken with broccoli and not pasta at all. I would suggest working with a dietary professional. Too many kids today are obese and it starts with the family.[/quote]

Did you work with a dietary professional, and did this dietary professional advise you to avoid "carbs" and to limit yourself to one banana a day?[/quote]
