Four Simple Guidelines:
Lustig prescribes four simple guidelines for parents coping with kids who are too heavy:
- Get rid of every sugared liquid in the house. Kids should drink only water and milk.
- Provide carbohydrates associated with fiber.
- Wait 20 minutes before serving second portions.
- Have kids buy their “screen time” minute-for-minute with physical activity.
