[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For many people this needs to be taught:

Appropriate portion size; 
Not to binge eat;
Not to overeat desserts or cakes;
Not to eat "just because" it's there yet you already just ate;
Not to eat right before bed;
Eat a well-balanced diet - low salt, sugar, fats - high on fiber, vitamins, protein, minerals.

And be active, move your body during the day and try to do cardio and lifting several times a week. or a sports practice. there are so many types of sports - for every energy level or body type. [/quote]

People this uptight make me cringe.  [/quote]

It’s not uptight. With the exception of lumberjacks and people who perform physical labor all day, it’s the way we all should eat.

You are doing your children a vast disservice if you don’t teach them these habits. My slim and healthy friends also teach their children things like never eating fast food or drinking soda, only eating dessert once a week or less, eating veggies and protein for every meal, being ok with being hungry, and exercising every day.

"Being ok with being hungry" will lead to some kids binging when they have more control over their food. It's a different kind of food insecurity.[/quote]
