What follows is a back-to-basics approach to achieve a good level of fitness and health using simple, easy to follow steps anyone can implement.

Diet

Not All Diets Work For All People. Diets don’t work for all people and there are some very good reasons for this. It’s very much like anything else – what works for one person may not necessarily work for someone else.

Basically there are two underlying, causative factors for excessive weight gain.

External, and
Internal

Let’s look at the background for each one:

External factors

External factors include lack of exercise, eating the ‘wrong’ food types and or too much food.

Other factors can include lack of time for the preparation of healthy, nourishing and non-processed meals.

A severe injury which prevents a person from being able to maintain an active life style which included a high amount of physical activity, may well gain weight without changing their food intake, simply because they are still eating the amount of food they ate when their life style was much more active.

Internal factors

On the other hand, there are internal factors related to health problems that can lead to excessive weight gain. Problems with an individual’s metabolic rate, and similar disorders can cause a sudden rise in weight.

Mental and emotional problems can often lead to a decrease in metabolic rate and an increase in food intake – substituting food for emotional fulfillment.

Organic diseases such as diabetes and other organ pathologies may lead to an increase in weight.

As you can start to appreciate there are lots of different causes for why one may be gaining weight. When considering the different possible causes of weight gain, is it little wonder that there are so many different diets? They all claim to work and most of them do work for some, but not others. The problem is how do you know which one will work for you and which one will not?

A diet regime for a person who has recently been injured and is gaining weight due to lack of physical activity is going to need a different diet approach to an other individual who is suffering from an organic disease and is unable to utilise the nutrients efficiently.

The saying there’s horses for courses is quite true and it is important to realise that just going on a diet and adding a strict exercise regime will often not provide the results you may have expected.

There are some basic considerations for each of the two basic causes. Lets look at these separately in an attempt to create some basic rules, which you may wish to follow.

External Factors Leading To Excessive Weight Gain

Generally speaking there are some overriding factors that may play significant roles in excessive weight gain:

Excessive food intake – irrespective of the quality of food, you can eat too much and too much of anything will lead to an imbalance in your body’s health. Nutrients your body receives, but cannot use will be converted to fat and held in reserve for later.

Eating the main meal of the day at the end of the day will have a similar effect for many people. Remember that after the sun goes down, the body is starting to prepare for rest, not activity and digesting food is activity. A large, heavy meal may take several hours to digest and our body’s normal physiological functions are interrupted when we eat a large meal and go to bed soon after.

Many people do not have a substantial breakfast and few have a healthy lunch, so dinner is the first time in the day that many individuals and families actually have the time to sit down and eat a full meal.

Lack of exercise: These days most people live a very hectic life style allowing little or no time for a regular exercise regime. This is combined with sedentary work often involving sitting in front of a computer all day or at an office desk. This does ultimately not provide any form of exercise and uses little physical energy and therefore, little of the stored energy from last night’s dinner is converted to energy and used by the body.

There is another factor. Our bodies are basically lazy. That is if they don’t need to do the work, they won’t. So, if you are in a regular pattern of eating a large meal at night and little during the day, even though you may at some point in time during the day feel hungry, your body will not start to break down the fat into sugars and thus energy, but will just wait until you have another meal and use the available sugars from the meal to provide you with energy.

You may have noticed that from around mid-afternoon onward you start to feel tired and lethargic. However, about 30 minutes after you eat dinner you suddenly experience a surge in energy.

The tiredness is because you have used up your free energy and your body ‘knows’ that it will be fed in a couple of hours, so it will not invest more energy into breaking down fat stores to access the energy stores in the fat.

Internal Factors Leading To Excessive Weight Gain

Generally speaking there are some overriding factors that may play significant roles in excessive weight gain:

Emotional factors – can affect your digestion to a great extent. If you have ever had a major event in your life that made you extremely angry, you may not have been able to eat, or if you did you felt nauseous and experience a ‘lump’ in your stomach, some people will even vomit. This illustrates how sensitive your digestive system can be to emotional stress.

If the stress is of a chronic nature and has become part of your life, the digestive tract will react adversely. For example it may be over active and as a result you feel you are constantly hungry and this could lead to you over eating.

Similarly, if you do not sleep well and therefore feel tired during the day, you may find that eating snacks very frequently during the day will give you that energy boost to keep you going, but the result of this frequent intake of food can lead to obesity depending upon what you eat.

Depression is another emotional factor that in some people leads to over eating and it is not necessarily the quality or quantity of food eaten, but the fact that the emotional state of the person is depressed and thus the physiological processes such as metabolism may also be depressed. This too can lead to obesity, as the body just converts the nutrients from food into fat, leaving you lethargic and quickly hungry again.

Organ pathologies – There are several underlying health problems that can result in excessive weight gain, for example Hypothyroidism (under active thyroid gland), which is quite common in the community, is just one of the diseases that may lead to obesity. Hypothyroid sufferers find it extraordinarily difficult to loose weight irrespective of food quality/quantity and exercise.

Similarly, hormonal imbalances/disorders can lead to deposition of adipose tissue, for example menopause, may in some instances lead to weight gain.

Where there are pathologies, it is necessary to treat the underlying cause not just try to loose weight by what ever means necessary. That is it is important to look at the whole of the person, their life style, diet, exercise regime, health of their body, etc.

Just going on a diet to loose excess weight is not the answer to weight loss if you wish to loose weight permanently. It is a total revamping of the individuals lifestyle and everything that goes with it.

It is my opinion, that a balance of all foods combined with a regular exercise regime and a adequate level of hydration are the corner stones to successfully getting control of one’s weight.

Foods to eat

I am not going to give you yet another diet and name it after myself or some such silly thing. The following is basic naturopathic advice without any extreme elements or ‘fad’ components.

Breakfast. Firstly, start eating some breakfast. It does not need to be time consuming in preparation nor does it have to be a 3 course meal. However, you should have some fibre, fruit some fruit juice. For example a mixture of 3 different types of nuts mixed with rolled oats and some oat flakes together with some pieces of fruit, say apple, banana, pear, peach, or any other fruit you’d like. Mix all these ingredients together and add a generous helping of natural yogurt. You may add some honey to sweeten the muesli to your taste. The aim is to include in the order of 15 different foods in this meal. That will provide you with a healthy, non-processed, nutritious meal that will give your body a great start to the day.

Lunch-time. Again, keep it simple. A mixed salad (include as many vegetables as you can) with or without some cold cuts of meat, fish or chicken, or tofu and soy or what ever you like. Just make sure it’s unprocessed and fresh.

If you have to attend a business lunch, just order a big salad as the main dish. Or go for a vegetarian meal. Most Restaurants these days are very aware of and cater to vegetarians and provide a good selection of vegetarian meals.

Fish is another must have (okay, vegetarians may not wish to include fish in their diet), because they contain fatty acids such as Omega 3, 6 and some also contain Omega 9 as well as many other nutrients.

Dinner. This should really be the smallest meal of the day and also the simplest. Again, keep it simple and unprocessed. Use vegetables, fish, rice and similarly light, easy to digest foods. Make a stir fry (using virgin Olive oil) for example, or a rice dish, salad, or omelet containing a variety of vegetables.

It’s also not a crime to eat a healthy muesli at night, especially on hot, humid nights when a hot meal is not really desired.

Snacks – well, you’re allowed to have the odd snack, just don’t make it not a chocolate bar. Instead, you could eat a handful of nuts, not salted, not roasted, but just plain unsalted healthy, fresh nuts. Alternatively you could eat fresh fruits and raw vegetables such as Apples, Carrots, etc. as snacks.

Last, but by no means least, you need to consume at least 2 litres of Water and or fresh fruit juices each and every day.

Did you know, that often when you are feeling hungry during the day, the body is actually asking for water, not food? This can be a bit confusing, but by the time you recognise that you are actually thirsty, you are already dehydrated. One of the first signals of ‘I need to drink some water’ is a feeling of hunger. So rather than responding to this impulse of ‘I need food’, drink a glass of juice or water and see if the ‘hunger pangs’ persist.

Exercise

Well, let me say that none of us need to become athletes just to stay fit or loose some weight. The idea of exercise is not to become Arnold Schwarzenegger or Rambo. Exercise is going for a 20-30 minute walk, using the stairs when possible as opposed to taking an elevator.

Exercise does not have to be and should not be a ‘pain’ to do, rather it should be physical activity you enjoy doing and this activity should make your body work on a physical level. Over time you will build up your strength and your level of fitness.

For example: Swimming especially in the ocean is a very healthy activity and does exercise your body. Walking, not necessarily along roads, but along the sand on the beach or through uneven grounds such as on a walk through the bush is great exercise. But if you are living in the suburbs and are not near a National Park or the beach, than walking along the road is better than not doing anything. Riding a push bike is another good form of exercise especially for the cardiovascular system.

But you can also turn work around the house into exercise. Washing the car for example can be a form of exercise, polishing it would add to this. Mowing the lawn is another form of exercise and the list goes on.

I’ll just ad a word of warning here – whenever you do exercise, be aware of your posture, especially when using household chores as intended exercise. Vacuuming for example, keep your back as straight as possible, bend the knees and take a small step rather than reach as far as you can. Change hands every now and again to give one arm a rest while the other is doing the work, than change back again and so on.

Lastly, don’t rush into exercise, work up to increasing levels of fitness using little steps. Each week or two, make the walk a little longer, or try and do the same distance a little quicker, swim a little longer or further, take your bike out and time yourself over a few kilometres, than 2 weeks later, see if you can decrease the time it took by a minute or so on a regular basis.

Take baby steps, don’t try to go too far too soon, or you may end up injuring yourself. Take it step-by-step and you’ll not only enjoy your newfound fitness, but will have fun achieving it.

Hints: Time your exercise to be either in the cool of the morning or early evening. Going for a walk at lunch-time in a city is not healthy. The pollution you breath in will end up doing you more harm than the benefits you get from the exercise. What ever you do, do not go jogging along major traffic roads, especially not during the day and definitely not during the hottest part of the day.

I see people running along major roads in Sydney during summer in the middle of the day. They look like they are about to have a heart attack and are actually a lot closer to that than they think. They are gasping for breath and breathing in highly concentrated pollution and very little (if any) fresh air… Think what that does to your Lungs and the load of hazardous chemicals that are absorbed into your blood stream – sit under a shady tree and eat a healthy lunch – you’ll get much more from that.

The current statistics by the health authorities are shocking. It is sad to learn that there is a sharp rise in the cases of obesity among the American public. It is more shocking to see that there is an increase in obesity among young adults. These are our future leaders and it is a looming danger to the productivity of our nation. One in every three Americans is obese.

How do we define obesity?

In simple terms, obesity is a serious condition in which an individual’s body weight goes way above the ideal or expected body-weight. Medically, they use the body-mass index or BMI which is a relationship between the height in inches and the weight in pounds of an individual. A BMI greater than 30 is considered obese whereas the normal BMI is between 20 and 25. A BMI greater than 25 but less than 30 is considered over-weight. There are various websites which can help you determine your BMI. There are many more sites on google and other search engines.

What causes obesity?

There are various causes of obesity which include but not limited to genetics, diet, life-style, sex, drugs and age.

Presence of certain genes in some families predisposes the members to obesity. Some individuals are highly susceptible to obesity because of their family inheritance. It is for this reason that we sometimes see a family of obese members.

On the other hand,diet is a key environmental factor contributing to development of obesity. Many Americans are no longer cooking in their homes, instead, they have fallen prey to fast-food chains and restaurants. Most of the recipes found in these food places are not healthy. They, quite often, compromise on quality but satisfy quantity and affordability.

Life-style is another key factor in the growth of the many cases of obesity. The change of life among most Americans is headed for the worst. Most people no longer have enough exercises.Exercise is a key component in managing obesity. Today, lack of exercise as seen in the more common sedentary life-style is detrimental to health.

There is a sex -related element in obesity. More women tend to become obese due to the hormonal changes they go through their life. Puberty in women, pregnancy and menopause are some but a few of the hormonal changes that women go through. On the other hand, more men are now becoming obese as early as in their teenage years.

Drugs are contributing to increase in obesity as well. As we make medical advances, the increased use of drugs to manage certain disease conditions has led to an increase in obesity. Certain drugs for certain conditions such as diabetes, depression, psychosis and hormonal replacements have been known to lead to weight gain and eventually to obesity.

Finally, age is an important factor to be considered. We now see obesity throughout the age spectrum. However, obesity is more common in adults than in children. It is now shocking to learn that there is a tremendous increase in teenage obesity. This is a worrying fact which needs immediate reversal.

Obesity is dangerous. This is because it increases the risk of dying from heart attacks, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, kidney failure, depression and many more conditions. Obesity is also a social problem. As obesity progresses the individual becomes detached from his daily activities and starts to depend on either family or welfare services for support. This is both a social and economic burden. Many millions can be saved if we fight obesity.

As an overview of the facts about the causes of obesity, the factors may work in a relationship or singly to lead to obesity. In order for, a diet program to succeed in controlling obesity and promoting weight-loss, it must address all these causative factors. The program must address the genetic input and address diet issues too. Life-style changes must be promoted and implemented. The sex element should be addressed as well. Finally, the age of the individual must be considered in the program. With all these factors addressed individually or severally, the diet program is bound to succeed with flying colours.

Most people suffer the effects of unhealthy diets, and think that other unhealthy diets are how to burn fat fast. Let’s be frank. Any diet that you have to take supplements for isn’t a healthy one. Besides, these diets and supplements are typically a flash in the pan. They work for a little while and stop.

Diet and Exercise is Still the Best-Basically

At the core of any legitimate weight loss plan is changing your diet and exercise. Sadly, most diets only recommend “sensible exercise,” and most exercises recommend “sensible diets.” What exactly does “sensible” mean here?

What is sensible in either case is ultimately dependent on your situation. If you’re 500 pounds overweight, your diet and exercise plan is going to be different than it would if you were 50 pounds overweight. Considerations such as diabetes should also be taken into account.

A Good Diet Plan to Start With

Nearly all the evidence out there points to certain diet plan basics. Eat more protein and fewer carbohydrates. Protein, especially the animal kind, will kick your metabolism into high gear. The great thing is also that you don’t have to take “supplements,” which are more accurately “stimulants.” You should also try five smaller meals a day, rather than three “square meals.”

The five meal plan entered the mainstream diet consciousness through diabetic diet programs. Originally, the idea was to keep the blood sugar at a certain level throughout the day, and five smaller meals allowed for less fluctuation. Soon, it came to be discovered that this eating style had other, weight loss related, benefits. It kept people’s metabolisms up.

Scheduling Your Exercise Plan

Modern research has shown that when you work your exercise plan is possibly more important than how intense it is. This is especially good news for the people who need to lose a lot of weight. Naturally, you’ll still need to perform cardiovascular exercise, but your timing is a crucial element.

Basically, instead of having one, two or several cups of coffee to get you going in the morning, you should exercise. This may be a groaner for you coffee lovers, but it’s more effective at waking you up AND you’re not going to be all jittery off of the caffeine.

The real benefit of exercising at this time is that you’re exercising BEFORE you eat. If you exercise after you eat, the calories you’re burning are the ones you just ate. If you work out before eating, you’re spending the calories in fat that you already have.

Many people try to eat a diet that consists solely of raw foods, but they often fail within the first couple weeks. This is because it can be very hard to get all of that uncooked food into your diet. People get bored if they do not know what to eat. But there are many creative ways to get variety into your meals. If you want add variety to your raw food diet, how to do it can be easier then you think.

Have you thought about trying a raw food smoothie? Now think about all the fruits that exist in the world. Now take that number and multiply it by all the vegetables that exist in the world. No, you really don’t have to do that, but it can show you all of the many simple possibilities that exist to make a smoothie.

Ready for your second tip for adding variety to your raw food diet? Think about how to use a mono meal to add flavor to your day. I know what your thinking, mono, one, same, sounds pretty boring right? But there are so many fruits and vegetables out in the world that you can use a mono meal to discover new tastes. A mono meal is basically eating one food until you are full. That means that you sit down with a whole bunch of apples, and you eat them until you are full. Now an apple isn’t that exotic, but you can do this with any fruit or vegetable. Remember those smoothies? This is a great way to discover new ingredients for your healthy drinks.

Need another raw food diet how to tip? Knowing how to start slow can make sure that you last long. Don’t just jump into your diet. You need ease yourself in. Especially if you currently do not have any healthy eating traits. The best way to start is by substituting your junk food snacks, with raw snacks. Do this for a week, and then you can move onto substituting your meals for healthier raw meals. Gradual is the key here. If you jump right into it you will be likely to fail. You will also be likely to get headaches and fatigue from the diet change. There are many raw food diet how to tips on the Internet. You need to make sure that you educate yourself before you attempt to use this diet to better your health.

Someone once said that what we eat is what we are. It is true that your diet determines your health and also the way you look and feel. So, it can be said that by changing your nutrition habits you can improve your wellbeing. Going on a fasting diet is a really popular method for detoxification and weight loss. It has been practiced for centuries and there are a number of benefits associated with it. However, such a diet can be potentially very dangerous unless you do it right.

The fasting diet should not last more than three days. Other wise you increase your risk of suffering from a number of medical problems including dizziness, weakness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and hear arrhythmia. You have to be reasonable when organizing your nutrition plan. It is best to be on the diet over the weekend or during a longer holiday so that you can avoid wasting too much energy. Also, the warm months are recommended for fasting since the body needs less energy during this time of the year.

You have to prepare for the fasting diet in the best way possible. You have to begin the preparation at least seven days before it. You should reduce your consumption of calorie rich foods gradually before going on the diet. It is best to eliminate the meat and eggs from your meals completely so that your body can get adjusted to the fasting more easily. It is also a good idea for you to reduce the grain products consumption so that you can resist cravings more effectively during the actual fast. During the preparation period you should increase the amounts of fruit and vegetables you eat. Your main meals can consist of cooked beans, lentils, rice or spinach.

You have to sustain the normal functioning of your body during the fasting diet. You should not stop eating and drinking completely. You have to consume a sufficient amount of fluids preferably around 128 ounces each day. It is best for you to drink eight standard glasses of fruit and vegetable juices and eight glasses of warm water a day. You are highly recommended to prepare the beverages on your own using fresh products. You can use all sorts of fruit and vegetables such as applies, strawberries, carrots and kale. However you should avoid making juices from citrus fruit. You can readily eat fruit and vegetables in small amounts in order to resist cravings.

Your 3 Plans: Low fat, Low Carb, Vegetarian

Your plan options are pretty basic, you can choose from low fat, low carb, or vegetarian. Most of the plans provide 1200 to 1600 calories per day depending on the portion sizes you personally order. They also offer additional sub plans like Convenience Pack or Midweek 3-Pack. Shipping is precise and in order, they ship your food for a week on the first Monday or Tuesday after you place your order; you receive it in 2 to 3 days. All their meals are packed in dry ice, and shipped in styro-foam coolers. Your order is then repeated until you change that arrangement or unless you have ordered a specific number of weeks from Diet-to-Go.

Cost of Diet-to-Go

The costs vary depending on which of the Diet-to-Go plans you choose. If you order the Full Plan that consists of 7 days of 3 daily low fat meals you’re looking at costs of $113 for 1200 calories and $126 for 1600 calories.

There are a plethora of benefits that you can derive from acai berry. In ancient times, only the people living inside the Amazon knew of its amazing healing power. As a fruit that grows in Amazonian rainforests, it offers Amazonian tribes great health and vitality because of its antioxidant properties.

The main benefits that you will get out of acai berry include a stronger heart and overall cardiovascular system, lowered blood cholesterol, and youthful skin because of its anti-aging properties. In recent times, scientists have discovered that acai berries are also effective in dieting.

If you’re wondering how to diet while taking the acai berry, remember that the rule of the thumb is to take it before eating a meal. Yes, the directions in the label may seem a little unclear or vague but that is because the manufacturers of these products do not want to complicate people’s life by feeding them a lot of instructions.

Suppose you ate your breakfast right after waking up, forget about taking your acai pill until at least 2 hours before eating your lunch. Acai berry must have enough time to work so that you can reap maximum benefits from it. The 2-hour rule is needed to ensure amazing results from this product as it takes a while for it to fully go into effect.

Many people attest to the fact that the two-hour rule on how to diet while taking the acai berry helps them a lot in achieving their weight goals. If you stick with this rule, there’s no reason why you wouldn’t be losing weight in a just couple of weeks.

Every dietary analyst, nutrition expert and doctor stress on the importance of consuming a well-balanced diet which contains ideal helpings from every nutrition group. It is of utmost importance that our lifestyle and its requisite nutritional requirements are successfully met by our diet, and for that we need to know what the ideal diet should constitute of. Especially in light of present times, when being overweight and obesity is causing serious health problems across the globe. Simply by adopting a more active lifestyle will not help us become healthier. It needs to be supplemented by intelligent and well-informed diet control measures.

Overeating is not something that can be remedied by controlling what we eat. Dietary restrictions need to be far more disciplined, and needs to be planned intelligently, keeping the diverse needs of the body, the body types and the individual lifestyles in consideration. In other words, diet control is simply not checking what you eat, or refraining from overeating. It is a very distinct program which requires some basic idea of nutritional science and a rough idea of our own body. Controlling ones diet is often not the easiest thing to do, because it is first initiated by a break in habit.

To properly regulate our dietary intake, we need to know about our body type. For example, if a person has a larger physique and is not very active, he/she should cut down on carbohydrates and stock up on essential minerals and vitamins available from organic sources. Similarly, people who are leaner needs more carbohydrates and lean protein, and they are prescribed helping of animal proteins from sources like chicken and fish and eggs. For people who are into athletics and sports, high amount of carbohydrates and essential fats are required to supply them with constant energy, and preventing fatigue. It really depends on the individual metabolism, individual constitution and nutritional habits.

Proper dietary regulation is an extremely important feature that, in its own, can prevent certain diseases and impatiences. Proper nutritional practices must be implemented at an early stage for any person, but its importance increases as the individual gets older. Certain nutritional values are associated with certain food stuffs, which stress the need to get a healthy, well-balanced and all-round diet. Diet control, contrary to popular belief, is much more a psychological than a physiological exercise, as it constitutes training the mind in a certain way to ignore binging impulses. This actually helps to inculcate good eating habits according to a strict schedule, which helps to build appetite and keeps the body invigorated.

Diet control is a practice that should be initiated after consulting a dietitian, who would then analyze the particular body type and prescribe the right diet for an individual. Often, in order to get fast results or to cut down on weight, people resort to drastic measures like crash dieting, fasting and vomiting. This is potentially harmful, as the body is denied proper nutrition and it could also lead to eating malpractices like bulimia and anorexia. Nutritional awareness, coupled with self confidence and appropriate guidance can actually help you regulate your diet and gain a healthy life.

The Master cleansing diet is the most well known of the detox cleaning diets and works wonders. This is the one that Hollywood tried to keep secrets, and even celebrities like Beyonce have used it to lose weight and become healthier. It is time you learned about all the benefits of a detox cleansing diet.

We are going to discuss a few of the key benefits and they are all important to your overall health. These benefits combined can help you change your entire physical body. Here are few of the top benefits of a cleansing diet for you to mull over.

The first benefit you will notice will be more stamina and energy. This one is a big deal and you will notice it pretty quickly after you complete your detox. You will be cleaning your body of all the sludge in it so you will feel less weighed down and more energetic. Plus the energy you are helping to create will also help you heal better.

Did you know that this increase in energy will also give you a lot more time each week? What would you do with an extra hour each day? More time comes from the body being able to get by with less sleep and with more energy you will be able to complete tasks faster than normal.

You will also experience a renewal in your health. This is like the way we deal with the common cold. When we get sick it is all fluids and no solids. This allows our body to use our digestive energy to help fight off the cold. It is similar with a detox, but you will be healing areas that you didn’t even know needed to be healed.

The renewal you will experience will change your overall health by leaps and bounds. This is something that is known to be used for healing with athletes and others as well. It will allow you to recover from chronic soreness much faster as well.

The third benefit is very important. You will increase your motivation, focus and self discipline. Doing a detox cleansing is not exactly easy and many will fail. However, when you complete your cleansing you will have gained focus, self discipline, and it will be a way to test your motivation.

Of course, the last benefit is the Weight Loss you will experience from the detox cleansing diet. Most people will lose between 5 and 7 pounds, but there have been some that lose as much as 20 pounds. This is quite a bit to cut over a 10 day period. This happens because you will be forcing toxins out of your body while allowing your body to work off the existing fat for a short period of time.

Being a parent is more than a full time job. It does not need a University degree, or should it? We call Universities institutions of higher learning. What is it about learning that can be more important than raising children?

How do you feed you kids without a diet? Here are 5 ways you can:

Use your computer to learn all you can about food. Study about raw foods and why they are good for you. Research, study and pass it on.
Try something new. Use the knowledge you have and add something new. Let your kid’s realize that their are many options. Explain the benefits and the consequences of the choices they make. Be a leader and let them follow your example.
Measure their results. Give them tests and have them report to you. They are at school, use the school model to teach them. It’s your job to teach them, not be their friend.
Create a study group and involve all members of your family. Learning is all about contribution to the process. It needs give and take from both people involved. Give them responsibility and make it challenging. You are talking about their life. This is more important than learning how to earn a living.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Use examples and teach only by example. Children need to see you believe in what you say or do.

If you are overweight or obese, you need to stop right now. Yes, right now. Do something about it. Look at your kid’s, they want to be just like you. If you were looking from their eyes, is that the image you would follow?

Food for thought.
