Pictures:
Print out pictures of the food pyramid, fruits, veggies ect and hang them around the kitchen. Make sure they are colorful enough to attract a kids' eyes!
TRY myfoodpyramid.gov for pictures of food pyramids and other kid friendly nutrition & exercise photos
Give them the Facts:
If you have a boy they maybe stubborn to the importance of nutrition yet love the idea of exercise. Tell your boys: Good nutrition gives you better energy to perform in sports.
Throw away the junk:
Thats right! Keeping junk food around the house will make everyone crave it more. Maybe keep a few pieces of dark chocolate or peanut butter around the house. Tell your kids sugar will not fill you up. Sugar will make you more hungry and want more sugar! Sugar can also help promote acne. Ewww!
Cheat a little:
That's right! Have your cheat day. After the boy's saturday football game, go to Whole Foods for some Pizza, go to Froyo for Ice Cream or Frozen yogart.
Pack healthy and cute snacks:
Pack lunches that look more attractive than nutritious. Try packing a peanut butter sandwhich on whole wheat bread, mixed fruit, mixed veggies and spinach dip, homemade spinach/shrimp pizza, blend up a fruit smoothie made from real fruit. Be creative. This also keeps down suspicious questions at the lunch table. Keep it colorful, bright, healthy and fun!
Get the family to help with cooking:
When you cook your meat, veggetables or whatever for the week. Have the kids pass you the Olive Oil, or Honey, or season the meat, or peel the oranges. Get the kids involved, put them to work, and cut your cooking time in half. Then give them a $1 raise on allowance! :D
