Young adult obesity has been noticed as a growing problem as well as teenage weight loss. Tips and advices for teeners to lose weight from doctors and dieticians are welcomed by parents who want to help their kids to lose weight.
This is so because teenager's today are becoming less and less active because of the push-button mechanism in almost all of the products in the market today not to mention the bad food choices readily available.
I'm sure you love your kids and you only want what's best for them. You are here right now because you have decided that engaging your kid into a weight loss program is the best option to solve this problem. I just have this need to remind you that this is not entirely your decision, don't forget to take into consideration that this would need the full participation of your child.
Structuring and formulating a weight loss plan would be wise for you to do both together. Involve your teener in every decision that concerns this problem. You will need his cooperation so ask for your child's input on how to solve this or how to make this easier for them while making it more effective for them in the long run.
Discuss the child's weight loss plan in detail as to: As the parent you would need to give constant reminders to your child so make this clear from the start that there will be constant "nagging" from you. If it would involve some for exercises which your kid has to perform, you better talk about it before you even start. Also, discuss the use of other resources like the intervention of professionals if needed.
While undergoing the weight loss regimen remember: Be sure that your child practices good sleeping habits because lack of sleep can trigger food cravings. Remind your teenager to drink 8 glasses of water each day and an additional glass for every extra 25 pounds they have. Eating healthy food and when to eat them can make a lot of difference to ensure a successful weight loss. Performing light to moderate (regular) exercises is a must. There are no quick fixes. No shortcuts. You both want long term benefits, right?
Being overweight especially in the teenage phase can have great emotional and mental impact on how your kids will be in the future. This is some kind of a developmental phase on who they will become. Don't let your kids be affected mentally and emotionally because they feel they do not belong among peers.
This is not only for the sake of the society but primarily for their own sake. A healthy child is healthy inside out meaning they are healthy, emotionally, mentally and physically. If the physical aspect is not in good shape this would create a domino effect to their whole well being.
