Diets For Children

It's amazing how many young children are seriously overweight today. Who is to blame? Television commercials can shoulder a lot of the blame, but
parents must take responsibility for what children are watching on the tube and what kinds of food is being advertised to them .as well as what foods they are eating, how much, and when.
Junk food isn't found only on the candy aisle in the grocery store. A lot of junk food is disguised as healthy breakfast cereals. Wieners and peanut butter and jelly are all loaded with fat and/or calories. Potato chips, cookies, and snack cakes aren't innocent bystanders.
The public school cafeterias have been under a great deal of pressure to change their menus and eliminate foods that kids like but that are anything but healthy. Kids eat one meal a day at school. They eat the other two at home and most snacking is done at home as well and yet nobody seems to be upset about the usual diet of most children while they aren't in school.
Kids eat what's available. If a candy bar and a bag of chips is available, they'll eat them. On the other hand, if an apple and whole wheat crackers are available, that's what they'll eat.
Fast food isn't home cooking. Fast food isn't health food, either. Busy parents often opt to stop on their way home for take out for their family dinner. This is a really, really bad choice. Healthier choices can be made that aren't much trouble. Look in the frozen food section there you'll find family-size meals that are much healthier than the ones that you pick up at the take-out window.
Provide your kids (and yourself) with healthy food choices at home. Microwave popcorn is low calorie as compared to chips and dips. Kids will eat healthy if they are given healthy food choices!

BONUS : Diets for Diabetics
The consumption of food is necessary for human life to continue. However, those who are diabetic must learn to look at food in a totally different light. Food is a necessity, and the wrong food can kill them.
Diabetics cannot engage in recreational eating like most of the rest of the world. A diabetic must plan his or her diet in advance and then must stick strictly to the plan.
There are lots and lots of diets and theories about diets for diabetics out there. Basically, most all diabetics are instructed to eat approximately 16 calories per pound of body weight per day. That is, if the ideal weight is 130 pounds, you should eat about 2,080 calories per day (130 x 16). This total is adjusted for people that are big boned or small boned, but that's the average.
People who need to lose weight and most people who are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes do the recommended diet consists of between 1,500 and 1,800 calories per day.
Carbohydrates should account for only about 50% of the daily caloric intake in a diabetic diet. Diets that are even lower in carbohydrates can benefit diabetics, but the use of low-carb diets should be discussed with the diabetic's physician or dietician.
Blood sugar testing is essential to maintaining acceptable blood sugar levels for a diabetic. Type 1 diabetics must regulate the timing of food intake with the timing of their insulin injections to maintain an optimum level. Type 2 diabetics are not given insulin, so just overall caloric intake over each 24-hour period usually satisfies the problem.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with diabetes (either Type 1 or Type 2), food has become an issue that needs to be addressed. The doctor will very likely refer the patient and his family to a dietician.
