But let us face facts, most personal exercise programs last only a few times and then people return to eating whatever they want, creating a yo-yo diet.

But here is something you can do to help lose weight, and you can still be part of any health program you desire.

You simply need to change HOW you eat, and we are not talking simply quantity.

Here is first point and your grandmother has told you about it and it is true. Chew your food on average of fifty (50) times until it becomes a cream in your mouth. Swallowing food that is not thoroughly chewed causes body to not digest it properly and eventually it turns into body fat.

A second point is to not skip breakfast. Digestion does not begin until you have your first meal of day. So if you think skipping a meal will help you lose weight, do not skip breakfast.

It’s important for parents to be role models to their children and emphasize importance of physical activity and healthy eating. Parents can create healthy environments for their children by doing regular physical activities, such as biking, swimming, or walking together. They should encourage their children to participate in sports, dance, martial arts, and etcetera. This allows children to develop an appreciation of physical activity and enjoy exercising.

When it comes to eating, parents need to implement diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains. They can make eating enjoyable and healthy by preparing food together and eating together as a family. Fast-food should be limited and reserved for special occasions. Way too often, we reward ourselves for a job well done with food. Look for other ways to reward your children for doing a great job, such as a special shopping trip or a day with just mom or dad.
