Child Obesity “Ultimate” Cure

Good morning, or good evening, depending where in the world you may be.

If you have read any of my articles you may realise by now that my writing style is more akin to those writers who tell it like it is, no fluffy bits, no fat, pardon the pun and especially NO BS.

Sorry to be so blunt but it is true there is enough BS in the world today and at least Barrack Obama the President of the USA is taking a more poignant stance by telling it like it is because deep down he firmly believes that the people of America, and the people of the world, have waited long enough for a no-nonsense approach where BS is a thing of the past.

Of course time will tell if what is said today is the outcome of tomorrow!! But rest assured Barrack Obama has started by taking positive action and will continue in a manner to which the people of America will come to respect and admire.

So what is the bearing of the above have to do with my child’s overweight condition.........?

Just to lay the foundation I would like to confirm the following important points;

•   You are an intelligent person
  
•  Good at what you do, in fact you are probably very good at your work and know how to enjoy yourself to the full.......... Excellent!!
  
•   A loving parent
  
• A giving person who is selfless and a proud home owner whether you’re in rented or mortgaged accommodation, the fact remains the same you love having a home to care for and enjoy.
  

Now let’s reflect on your teenage children.....

·        They see Mon and Dad as a bank.... pay for this, pay for that

·        They see the home as a place to hang out, sleepovers etc.

·        They see the kitchen/larder as a free deli... always stocked!

·        They see the home as a place to slob around, do nothing, watch videos and play games hour after hour after hour.

Now I’m sure your saying to yourself that my child is none of the above and I am  happy for you that that is the case as most of the children/teenagers today do look at the home as one or more of the above........

Let’s assume for one moment that your kids do have one or more of the above conditions and let’s assume that your kids love you to bits and would do anything for you........which is great!

Now let’s assume for one moment that you decide to raise a subject over supper, assuming that the whole family eats together around the table...good now going back to the task at hand ... yes you are intending to raise a subject at supper that you firmly believe will have a profound impact on the family as a whole and on your kids individually.

You start the conversation; being a tactician that you are and after rehearsing your pitch over and over again days ahead of supper to make sure you have covered all the base points to bring in your mind a happy conclusion....you open the conversation with your eldest.... “Honey, how was school today? What did you have for lunch??”.....by this time your eldest now suspects something is up and mutters something that sounds like a foreign language.

Anyway you move on even though the conversation at this time is terribly one sided and not going to plan but you persist and keep your tone light hearted and flexible............several minutes go past that seem like an eternity and finally you decide that enough is enough and you almost shout it out “Let’s go for a walk on Sunday after lunch. ” There you have done it told it like it is and after a few moments of hesitation at the table everyone agrees to your good idea.

So you see, your preparation and anxiety has paid off by “Telling It Like It Is” now all you need to do is follow through, make the walk enjoyable by bringing a tennis ball to throw and tennis racket and you have the beginning of what will over time flourish into fun times together where the whole family bonds, you gain more respect and your kids get much needed exercise.

The “Ultimate Cure” is YOU..... As you have what it takes to bring about change in your life and the lives of your kids?

Be patient, yes I know you are saying that it will be difficult one, but hey, if it was so easy we would all look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolly!!

Youth Obesity

Spin or Freeze?

 

Tuesday afternoon February 2^nd cosy indoors buy crisp and snowy outdoors; yes it has been showing here in blighty (UK) for a couple of days. The experts claim that it has not snowed like this for over two decades. I must admit it does seem a lot longer than that when I woke up to literally 12” of fluffy white snow.

What was really wonderful yesterday is that there were no cars on the road, few trains and not any trains were running where we live in Surrey and you won’t believe this, we certainly didn’t....there were families playing in the snow in the road.

We mucked in with a snowball fight against the kids who were on the opposite site of the road, it was great fun as everyone forgot about their troubles with the economic downturn, their spirits were lifted, big smiles on their faces and laughter in the air which has been absent for a very long time here in the UK and this probably applies to other parts of the word too.

After the snowball fight, which us parents lost,  we ended up drinking piping hot chocolate and talking in general until the conversation was engineered by Christine one of the mum’s who began telling us about her unusual experiences during a spa vacation in the US recently.

We were in stitches laughing at the tales she was telling us that she was encouraged to partake in order to lose fat!!

Can you imagine taking ice cold showers? Er... NO!!

Can you imagine spinning round like a top? Er... NO!!

As she was going through her daily rituals over the fourteen days at the spa I began to ponder at the implications of trying to motivate the children and youth of today to even contemplate doing the above let alone physically spinning on the spot or taking ice cold showers at the fear of renal failure or passing out and injuring yourself.

Can you image your child spinning like a top, losing balance and banging their head on the coffee table, your child is out cold now try to move that dead weight, it is very very difficult.

I must admit I was fascinated by the story Christine was telling us yesterday so I contacted a couple of physicians for clarity and I was pleasantly surprised at what they came back with.

Apparently, just checking my notes as I busily scribbled away as Tom spoke on the phone  - I must apologise if I am not 100% accurate on this one but do bear with me....as I was saying, there are several glands within the body part of the Endocrine System that serve to balance your metabolism, growth, weight, hormone and how you feel.

They seem to work together when they are circulating round and round within you just like a spinning top so when they are in tune or moving at a constant velocity you are in fact quite healthy and the opposite applies when you not healthy with the circulating slowing down....I hope this make some sense to you.

So to recap; does spinning like a top lose weight and make you feel wonderful well perhaps it does I am not 100 % convinced but there seems to be a plethora of unusual nuances to assist in losing weight or making you feel better in yourself.

Going back to our overweight and obese kids can you see your kids getting to grips with “Spinning” other than perhaps to have a laugh!!! I think not, especially if your kid is sensitive and lacking in confidence then having the family make a mockery would probably be the last straw.

Therefore, I can recommend you to look at alternatives but with your eyes wide open if it sounds too scary or pie in the sky then use my expression “If in Doubt – Back Out”.

Stability, focus and support will be the ingredients needed to bring about massive amounts of change in your child this will be achieved by aligning yourself with the very best that money can buy.....bit of a misconception but I thought I would throw you a curve ball....money does not buy you happiness; health or love....we all know this.

With that thought in mind “The Youth Obesity Solution” by Brian Grasso who is the founder and CEO of IYCA in America is the authority on getting children to move more, feel good about themselves and gives that all important support that is so badly needed.

We strongly recommend that you (Click Here) and visit Brian Grasso on the other side who will show you the path to take to achieving your long term goals and immediate short term goal which will include his amazing “60 Day FUN Packed program”.

Thank you for reading this article, I have enjoyed writing it from the heart and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future with your testimonials.

I am now going sledging -  time to be a BIG KID............

“FAT KIDS”

OBESITY EPIDEMIC!

 

Fat Kids, Big Kids, Obese Kids and Overweight Kids are dying every day of over feeding and health issues. 

OBESITY is not a nice word. In some parts of the world schools have forbidden children from using that word.

Did you know that William “Bill” Clinton, the ex President of the United States of America, is pushing very hard with strategic initiatives to “Fight Obesity” through the Clinton Foundation.

Cure or No Cure....

What can parents do to HELP?

Remember!

The life of your child is in your hands 

Experts have intimated that obesity may be the next big health scare like Aids was when it was first realised almost twenty years ago. 

The crazy thing is that we have the power to change our present state, to stop obesity occurring by simply taking positive action. 

Have you ever heard the expression ‘Prevention is better than Cure?’ Well we have what it takes to prevent ourselves from becoming obese. You do not have to result to surgery or having a Gastric Band installed. 

You realise that you cannot undertake this mammoth task by yourself so what do you do?

Yes, you can talk to your doctor or seek council elsewhere and their advice is often pretty good but what you need is someone to guide you and be there for you when you are in need of their valuable support. 

Our daughter and her schools friends came across Brian Grasso by accident whilst researching Child and Youth Obesity at school.  When she came home, that evening as a family we spoke of her findings and began to delve deeper into “Who is Brian Grasso?” 

I was dumb struck! 

This guy is truly “Brilliant” I am in awe of this guy and of his works; ability; relentless drive and determination; and he has built a global reputation and our family view his skills as being the equivalent of the Horse Whisperer or Dog Whisperer. He is so in tune with kids today that he brings about change like never seen before. 

Given the opportunity I would love to fly the flag for Brian but that is not my nature as I try to take an objective and un-political view towards weight loss programs; fad diets, swing backs, Atkins, so on and so forth....we both know that 90% of diet plans in the market today are similar and dare I say it a “Con”............ 

However, every now and then someone appears from nowhere and blows you away with their talent, as this is what has happened with us by being aware of Brian Grasso and what he represents. 

Brian Grasso is CEO of the “International Youth Conditioning Association” Click here to visit the IYCA. Brian’s philosophy is Passion; Excellence and Reform and they do bring about change throughout the sports and health industry for the betterment of everyone. 

Brian has surrounded himself with the very BEST experts Click here to visit  each one of them regards Brian as the Market Leader, this is further compounded with the testimonials which are as log as your arm Click here to visit. 

Brian is an acclaimed author and philanthropist whose focus in life is centred on our children of today, for tomorrow. 

The only recommendation we will probably make in 2009 is for everyone, I mean EVERYONE, to read Brian’s latest book of which the title needs no explanation; “The Youth Obesity Solution.” This will change YOU for the better and WILL keep you and your body in that new state, long term. 

You have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose by trying.....Please give, your children a fighting chance of a GREAT LIFE as I am sure this is what they crave for. 

The Youth Obesity Solution is a MUST read it is like no other book it is more like a “Road Map” you take one step each day, move forward in “Bite Size” chunks and you will be a WINNER!

Child Obesity Cure!

Read the words very carefully on the advertisement below.......... especially the small print. 

 

Photograph taken at a bus shelter in Cincinnati OH, USA by Jonathan Olumoy Professional Photographer 

This FACT is very true we are slowly killing off our Kids, in FACT as parents we will no doubt out live them. 

As a loving and supportive parent I’m sure you can remember your childhood, especially those occasions when you had to walk everywhere, be in bed by 7pm, spend time outside with your friends on simple bicycles with juddery brakes, take the dog for a walk, help mum carry the shopping home, help dad in the garden and of course we all watched a little too much television. At least the television then was less aggressive, had a later watershed and only a handful of channels to watch. 

There is a GUARANTEED system that will bring your children back from the brink of Death and as a loving father I strongly recommend that you at least look at it and perhaps maybe, something will kick in and prompt you to take advantage of the support that goes with the system. 

You have everything to gain and absolutely nothing to lose by trying.....Please give your children a fighting chance of a GREAT LIFE as I am sure this is what they Crave for, deep down inside their hungry tummies. 

How many deaths of helpless obese children

will it take before parents take 

positive action!!

Youth Obesity will not go away, some experts have intimated that obesity may be the next big health scare like Aids was when it was first realised almost twenty years ago. The crazy thing is that we have the power to change our present state, to stop obesity occurring by simply taking positive action. It all sounds a little too easy.

Have you ever heard the expression ‘Prevention is better than Cure?’ Well we have what it takes to prevent ourselves from becoming obese. You do not have to result to surgery or having a Gastric Band installed. 

Click here to learn more as this is for everyone, of all ages, sizes, looks and colour and will bring daily rewards to the children in how they feel about themselves and for the parents who are bonding better with their children as they are committed to a common goal. 

Remember this ‘The life of your child is in your hands.’

This statement is empowering and will motivate you as a loving parent to take positive action and address the obesity issues once and for all. 

There is no time like the present. Click Here and you will never look back again; you will look forward in the knowledge that you have a support mechanism in place which will guide you in your journey to help your children attract friends, date, wear nice clothes and feel great. 

• Try to avoid, or at least cut down by 75% on ‘High-Fat Foods’ like chocolate, biscuits, cakes and crisps. Try healthier alternatives such as fresh fruit, crusty bread or crackers. When I have a sugar craving I have a teaspoon of unrefined honey.

• Try to grill or bake foods instead of frying. Fresh beef burgers, fish fingers and sausages are just as tasty when grilled, but have a lower fat content. (Did you know that oven chips are lower in fat than pan fried chips?)

• Try to avoid fizzy drinks, which tend to be high in sugar. Change them with fresh juices diluted with water or sugar-free alternatives which are yummy.

• Try to encourage your children to eat dried fruit or tinned fruit in natural juice instead of sweets. Also frozen yoghurt is a yummy alternative to ice cream.

• If you want to snack have an orange, kiwi fruit or a banana.
   
• As a family it is important to work together, by doing so you will all benefit by offering that important support that is vitally needed.

• Stop ‘Comfort Eating’. Eating regularly every four hours throughout the day will burn fat and you will not be hungry. Prevent your children from eating while watching TV or doing homework.
  
•  This is a hard one, try to educate your children to "Listern to their Tummies" to know when they need to eat as opposed to craving for food all the time.

•  This is also a tough one, try to get your children to hew their food before       swallowing.  As a guide line they should chew their food for ten to fifteen seconds.    By chewing their food the tummy sends a signal to the brain saying that the tummy is  filling up.

•   Try to keep plenty of fresh fruit, sugar free biscuits, nuts (only if your children don’t  have a nut allergy) and try not to keep lots of  high-fat, high-sugar snack foods in the  home. 

Please take positive action NOW for the sake of your children by reading the next chapter by clicking here.

is in Your Hands”

Old Habits-Die Hard!

Good morning.

Have you heard the above expression before?

I have on several occasions and more recently on TV when a talk show host was addressing the audience with an issue on “Diet” followed on with her tag line “Old Habits Die Hard”.

Most of us, I’m sure you would agree, have at some time in our lives made New Year’s resolutions or experienced something during the day to then stop and say to yourself “I must not do that again” or “I will become......” or “I deserve better” .....you get my drift!!

So what does this have to do with Obesity; Fat Kids; Weight Loss; Fat Teens? In fact it has everything to do with it, you see as I mentioned above we are all guilty of agreeing to do something about “Change” we talk to others, we even talk to ourselves in the craziest of places, in fact I talk to myself in a hot bath or the sauna and for some reason it works for me.

Anyway, as I was saying we have made what is considered at the time a lifelong conviction to “Change” something in our lives or about our person. The big “BUT” is that more often than not we slowly wean ourselves away from our conviction and over time our “Old Habits” are being lived once more, in fact those old habits are even stronger than before.

I’m guilty of this are you?

So what is the solution, if there is one, to help us to see through our convictions to the end.............well to be honest there is no clear cut set of rules or guidelines to follow and besides each and every one of us has a different way of going about how we live, think and do.

However there is something that is quite powerful that I have referred to on more than one occasion and that is to watch a video this is no ordinary video it is rather special it will go a long way to opening your mind and giving you clarity on what has become widely known as “The Secret”.

This video is approximately 24 min long and is available to everyone there is no fee to watch it and you will be amazed at what “The Secret” is....I am itching to tell you but to be fair you will appreciate me holding my tongue.

After you have watched the video you will feel something inside, don’t ignore that feeling....let it grow of its own accord and you will be amazed at what you will experience, it is difficult to say what you will experience but you will notice things in your life changing for the better.

To help you overcome that adage “Old Habits Die Hard” and you see yourself slim, attractive and being desirable you may want to try some “Visualization” techniques that will help you in your journey.

I refer back to this technique occasionally when I want to manifest something or attract a person or action and it pretty much happens. What you need to do is follow these steps;

·        Be comfortable where you are sitting or find somewhere where it is quiet, peaceful it could even be at bedtime.

·        Think about a time in the future when you see your “New Self” hold that image in your mind.

·        Now take two or three deep breaths through your nose hold each breath for one second and exhale through your mouth then breathe normally.

·        Your blood is well oxygenated now, you will be calmer, relaxed and your sub conscious mind is open for the next instruction.

·        You are looking at a mirror you are seeing a reflection in the mirror of the “New You.”   Look closely at that image. Imagine shaving yourself or applying makeup as if you are preparing for a date with the person of your dreams.

·        Look even closer at that image,  see the “New face” smiling back at you, you see a happy face a slim face, bright eyes, eyes that are radiating warmth, love and fun.

·        Now hold that image in your mind and slowly drift off to sleep or take a cat nap for ten to fifteen minutes.

Using images this way will over time bring about change; watching “The Secret” video will enforce this further and finally I would recommend reading the Youth Obesity Solution by clicking here.

You are now equipped like Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger going into battle to WIN....and you will, because you now have the mind set, the determination and the will to bring about that change that you so rightly deserve and those old habits will have died forever.

Why is my child

“BIG & FAT”!

 

Good evening.

I wanted to bring this article to your attention as quickly as possible following supper with a few friends at our house.

One of our friends, whom we have not seen for a while, was casually talking about her sister who was experiencing difficulties in raising her son. What transpired is that her son, at the age of two years was the weight of a five year old, could hardly walk and spoke only a few words.

That conversation took my interest immediately and drew me away from the guys who were discussing their cars.

You see this women is happily married, her husband has a steady job and is home by 6.45 pm each evening, a comfortable home with one good family holiday at summer.

So what’s the problem?

The boy “Toby” is a bit of a handful, a screamer, throws tantrums which most Kids do in the early years....the mother Clare has great difficulty hushing the boy and resorts to “Stuffing” his face with all kinds of fatty foods and Calpol.

For those of you who are unaware of what Calpol is, it is a syrup type medicine regularly used in the UK, that you can buy over the counter, and is a remedy for pain and fever associated with coughs and teething but it can cause drowsiness.

It further transpired that two or three times a week the father would bring home “Junk Foods” which were shared by all, he had a passion for apple tart and ice cream.

At this time I asked the mum’s if the parents of Toby were overweight in any size or shape to see if there might be a link with the Big Kid.

As it so happened both Mom and Dad were a tad on the large side, or to use the expression of the sister “Bloody Enormous”, and she went on to say that her sister was never that way when she was younger, she was lean and fit. 

She went on to add that when she met and married Mark they slowly fell into a comfort zone of gorging on any kind of food, day and night, to the point in which they were often sick through eating so much.

But they never realised the impact they might be having on Toby!! 

Dr Travis Stork explains when interviewed on CBS Healthwatch the "Risks" that obese kids are susceptable to and recommends parents to take positive action.

Today thankfully, Toby is much more of a normal boy his mass has decreased enormously as a result of their family doctor recommending Clare to cut out the Calpol, ditch the junk food that they consume weekly and exercise Toby a little more regularly.

As for Mom and Dad it appears they too have amended the error of their ways by adjusting the way they eat, little by little and over time I’m confident they will as a happy family grow together in a more balanced way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this brief article, I strongly felt that this story would appeal to you as it did with us.

Please remember
