How to get your kids to eat better

, ,

Most parents beg, plead, and plot to get a child to eat vegetables. We’ve discovered a few ways to incorporate healthier options into the diets of any averse eater.

SMOOTHIES: Add spinach or kale and a drop of mint extract to a vanilla smoothie for a fun St. Patrick’s Day drink.

SPRINKLES: Kids love sprinkles! Use a grater or microplane to grate broccoli, carrots, beets or cauliflower to add a pop of color to the top of your meal.

TAKE TURNS: Allow each person in the family to choose a meal each night of the week. It will help each kid try a meal that is not necessarily a favorite, but they know their turn to choose will be coming soon.

BE SNEAKY: Add finely chopped spinach to pasta sauce, zucchini and carrots into meatloaf or meatballs. The possibilities are endless.

BENEFITS: Google the benefits of specific foods and reinforce how they help our bodies. Google is a great way to find new recipes together also.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
