Jan 17, Child Obesity Facts

Understanding child obesity facts is the first lesson to be learned before we can solve the problem. Childhood obesity has grown to be an epidemic that has health professionals scurrying to help families cope with the problem and find solutions. It is obvious that poor nutrition and lack of exercise are the major contributors of child obesity.

Modern technology has lured our children into sedentary lifestyles. Between cell phones, computers, and video games they are getting less exercise and while engaging in these activities they are developing eating disorders.

There was a time when most children walked to and from school. This may not seem like much exercise but it is, in fact, more than they may be getting now. Parents feel a need to do the school run because of work schedules or other family reasons and as a result their children don't get the morning exercise.

Since over one third of school aged children are considered either overweight or obese it is fair to say that they are not alone in dealing with the obese issue. This is important for them to understand so they don't feel singled out. Many times when children realize that it is not only their issue they will respond more favorably to open dialog rather than acting out.

Parents of an obese child can improve their child's self esteem by emphasizing the child's strengths and positive qualities rather than just focusing on their weight problem. It is imperative that we educate our children on the facts about proper nutrition as well as exercise.

We also have to practice good eating and shopping habits ourselves. Restocking our shelves with health snacks and adding more fruits and vegetables to our refrigerators will help encourage better eating habits.

Make It A family Affair

Involving our children in meal planning as well as cooking meals together will help them learn about the child obesity facts and encourage them to practice better nutrition. During mealtime it is best to serve from the kitchen rather than the table to discourage the desire for a second helping.

Unfortunately the facts are that many obese children grow up to be obese adults. Child obesity does not have to be a permanent condition . It can be cured with proper nutrition and exercise.

Jan 17, Weight Loss Cover Up Exposed

If you have never heard of Weight Loss Cover Up Exposed you are missing out on a great resource. Why are so many children and adults fighting obesity and weight issues? Why do certain foods cause allergies? Diet and exercise are the key components to weight loss, however, I can provide you with information on how to feed your whole family and avoid the consequences of obesity.

Astrid Lasco, B.Sc. was determined to know the facts so she spent two years on research. What she discovered is that there are only a few substances that should be avoided to lose weight. Thankfully she compiled her research into an easy to read and understand format.

The result was weight loss cover up exposed. I was in awe by her courage, tenacity, and integrity in writing this e-book. Thanks to her ?out of the box? thinking she has helped thousands lose the unwanted pounds and get their health back.

What Weight Loss Cover-Up Exposed Is All About

It explains to you what foods and substances that must be avoided. ( a few surprises).

Why the craze on ?bad cholesterol? is a myth and how it is making people ill.

What specific dietary fats will help you lose your own body fat.

Why you should not follow the current nutritional guidelines. Facts and sources to back up her claim.

How to know the difference between synthetic vitamins and natural vitamins.

What food additives can make you sick.

Why no-fat, low-fat, no-calorie foods make you gain weight.

And more.

Astrid's initial presentation is lengthy but it is also captivating. Her e-book provides responses to questions that no one, until now, have been able to answer. Her book comes with 12 bonus gifts. I particularly feel that the listing of GM foods and non GM foods is worth the price of the book alone. It is much easier than trying to remember each product.

I have never been a proponent to quick weight loss diets but since she has had requests on the subject she has included them in her bonuses. It is noted that these quick weight loss solutions should not be used for any real length of time. Be sure to follow her guidance when implementing a quick weight loss diet.

The most important thing is for you to get the facts. Hopefully you and your family will lose weight like Astrid did when she found out about these secrets.

Jan 17, Obesity camps

If you find yourself contemplating obesity camps for your overweight children you probably have tried every diet under the sun. You've come to the conclusion that its camp or surgery. From where I am sitting weightloss camp sounds like a lot more fun.

Surgery comes at a cost that is more than financial. What if there are complications during surgery?What happens after surgery?What is learned by having surgery?We live in a fast paced society and people want things done quickly. Surgery fits into that category. Your child will lose a lot of weight fast. Which brings me back to what is learned! Weightloss camp, on the other hand, is not about losing weight fast it is about learning how to lose weight and making changes in lifestyle to ensure that the weight stays off. Weightloss camp eliminates the worry of complications and best of all its educational. Weightloss camp beats surgery.

Most weightloss camps have guidelines before acceptance into their program. These guidelines will vary from camp to camp but the reasoning is more or less the same. They want their campers to be desperate and determined to reach their goals. The two keys to weight loss are nutrition and exercise. A good weightloss camp helps your child learn about nutrition and find fun ways to get exercise. Your child will be introduced to activities that he or she would never indulge in prior to camp for fear of ridicule or embarrassment. All campers are equal, they are at camp for the same reasons and they are all overweight.

The objectives of weightloss camps are to teach skills that will be practiced long after camp ends. These include making changes in eating habits, increasing the amount of daily exercise, and making adjustments in lifestyles. Your child will benefit from improved self esteem, body image, and overall health. The main difference between between weightloss camp and summer camp is the group sessions and the quality of the staff. Many campers come back to be councilors because of the learning experience and how camp changed their lives.

Tips On Choosing Obesity Camps

When choosing obesity camps it is important to do your own research. When you check their website look for the camper to councilor ratio and see if they have a testimonial page. Find out about their dietary program and qualifications of their staff. Do they have a post camp support system. How long have they been in business and do they have financing available. Obesity camp does come with a price tag but when it comes to your childs health. Priceless!

Jan 17, Escape From Obesity

Escape From Obesity

If you or your obese child feels imprisoned by obesity now is the time to escape from obesity. Child obesity has received much attention over the past few decades because it is the most common nutritional disorder among children and teens in the United States.

The problem is children don't have much control over their environment which means it starts with the parents. When parents have negative attitudes towards food and exercise their children are exposed to the same negative attitudes. Parents are the leaders and need to set the example. Children are the followers and since they have little control over their environment they have to accept the offerings.

In order to escape from obesity you need a well executed plan. It all starts with making changes in lifestyle and creating a healthier environment. A good place to start is by cleaning out the cupboards of junk food and replacing it with healthier choices.

The escape from obesity plan is very simple and effortless but it requires commitment and a family effort. The benefits will far outweigh the sacrifices. How we eat is as important as what we eat. Slow down.

At mealtime try to engage in some provocative conversation to control speed eating. Eating is not a race. Take the time to enjoy every bite because eating too fast is the quickest way to over eat. Controlled eating makes you feel more full, you will enjoy the food more, and you end up eating less.

The escape from obesity plan begins with controlled eating. The benefits are more control over weight management, portion control ( you may even eat less), and less stress. Eating slower allows you and your family to unwind and relax from a busy day. Speed eating contributes to child obesity.

Many people use food to sooth hurt feelings or as way of dealing with stress not realizing or caring that it is counter productive to weight loss. If you want to escape from obesity you need to control emotional eating.

Emotional eating or comfort eating is one of the main causes of overeating. One of the problems with emotional eating is the type of foods that emotional eaters choose. They are generally high in fats and sugars because they boost energy levels leaving us feeling less sorrowful, at least for the moment.

Emotional eaters need to find more productive methods of venting their anger, stress, and other emotional outbursts. They need to identify the triggers that cause emotional eating such as: what, when, where, and why. Emotional eating has nothing to do with hunger. When the urge for emotional eating arises try to involve yourself in an activity to get your mind off the food. Positive thoughts will help you escape obesity.

Exercise - All Gain No Pain

We all know that in order to escape from obesity regular exercise is required. For a lot of people the thought of the gym causes them to cringe. Don't feel badly if you feel this way because there is a painless solution.

Weight loss experts will tell you that in order to lose weight you need to make a change in lifestyle. These words are true, however, there are some simple actions that you can make in your daily routine that will help you lose those unwanted pounds without too much extra effort.

Most people start their day with a hot shower. This is a great opportunity to not only get squeaky clean but also start a morning mini exercise program. Depending on the ages of your children and the severity of their weight problem I would advise parental guidance.

While you are rinsing off place your feet against the sides of the shower stall and lean forward until your arms reach the shower walls. With your fingers pointing upwards do a few standing push ups. Don't over do it the day has just begun but do enough to feel the muscles in your arms, chest, and shoulders. Repeat this procedure daily and you will be amazed by how such a simple action can help your body and at the same time you are getting a good stretch to start your day.

Everybody knows that walking is great aerobic exercise and you do see more and more people taking a good stroll in the park. Try to make walking as a family a part of your weekly routine.

The next time you are out walking open up your gait just a little bit and count to thirty. You can repeat this as much as you like and the next time maybe you can get to a forty five count. This action can be done anyplace at any time. Walking from your car to the grocery store, walking from the mall parking lot, to name a few suggestions.

On the subject of the mall another great idea is to park further away from the main entrance . You actually aren't saving much time by parking close to the entrance because by the time it takes to find an empty parking space you could already be parked and getting that good stroll in.

One of my favorite suggestions involves passive modes of transportation in public places. Try using the stairs instead of the elevator. The action of stair walking is superb for building your leg muscles. I do not suggest this if you have bad knees because you are carrying seven times your body weight and the pressure on your knees would be too much.

If you live or work in a high rise simply use the stairs for one or two stories and take the elevator the rest of the way. The same holds true for escalators at airports. There are a few exceptions such as Chicago O'Hare. I do know for a fact that it is a long haul from the tarmac to the main airport and even I take the escalator.

These are just a few suggestions on how to escape from obesity on a daily basis. It would not surprise me if you could think of a dozen other ways without breaking your daily routine. Stop and think about what you do and how you get there? I'm sure that you could think of several other ways that you can escape obesity with no pain and all gain.

Jan 5, Ann Siegs renegade marketer

The Renegade Network Marketer

Ann Siegs renegade marketer system was first introduced in 2007 and its popularity was a pleasant surprise particularly to Ann. The system was first designed to aid multi- level marketers; since this was Ann's main field.

However, the tools, process, and theory has since helped thousands of online marketers build successful marketing businesses. The reason for this is because Ann made just about every mistake that a network marketer could make. Her mistakes are now benefiting newbies at marketing as well as seasoned veterans.

Her theory is about building relationships, trust, giving away information, and being a solutions provider through attraction marketing.

Network marketing is sales and her system shows you how to create a steady stream of targeted prospects and at the same time generate an income on your advertising efforts. The best part is, Ann wants you to have success and Ann Siegs renegade marketer system teaches you, in a no nonsense fashion, how to have success and after you understand the theory she shows you how to mentor your team and explains why mentoring is important.

Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer System is packed with over 100 pages of specialized information about how this system works and why. My internet marketing experience was very limited when I first started so I didn't have any bad habits. What most impressed me was how brave Ann was to think ?out of the box? and publish this e-book.

It works like this: when a person purchases Ann Siegs renegade marketer system you receive a 50% commission, plus you get a small commission on their sales, and you also get their name and e-mail address. This allows you to build a relationship and trust with your prospect.

You simply offer help, answer questions, and possibly build a business relationship together. The back office has over 40 different affiliate codes with well respected and tested companies such as clickbank, commission junction, Aweber, and other helpful links related to network marketing.

If it had not been for Ann Siegs renegade marketer system I never would have built this website. There are 2 reasons for that. First, I never would have learned the process and theory which is what inspired me to pursue my passion about childhood obesity. Second, because I never would have known about Site Build It, which is one of the many useful links in the back office.

Site Build It and Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer System fit together like ? hand in glove?. I signed up for this system through her son Isaiah's affiliate link. He is my team leader.

Since this is a 2 tier program he made a commission on my purchase of this system and also off my purchase of Site Build It. Not bad since he let the tools do the work for him and I was within his target audience.

If you find that this system is not for you there is a 100% money back no questions asked guarantee. The cost is only $67.00. With very little effort this system will pay for itself.

Two sales and you break even. I managed to do this within my first week without having a website. I placed an ad on Craigslist and actually showed a profit without spending a dime on advertising. The rest is history.

Ann Is At It Again

The Marketer's ManifestoThe History Of
Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer Professional

Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer Professional has a rather brief yet very successful history. Before I get into the nuts and bolts about this system I would like to explain what it is all about.

Attraction Marketing is the newest and most effective form of marketing. The concept is to position yourself as an expert by providing value, information, and solutions by first selling yourself.

Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer Professional will teach you why it is important to give away free information and how to provide value by being a solutions provider. The benefit is the relationships that you gain by being an information provider.

Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler, two of the top network marketing gurus, have teamed up to create a proven state of the art system that they guarantee with a 30 day money back guarantee.

Ann Sieg had been working on creating the new model for network marketers for nine months. What makes this system stand out from the crowd is the methodology that Ann, with the help of Mike Klingler, has developed.

The concept is to teach present and future network marketers by utilizing tutorials and Mikes expertise as an instructor. I prefer to call it " follow the leader".

Ann has more than fulfilled her promise when she once said

"this is projected to launch a whole new series of websites, tools and resources that are going to revolutionize the way information is taught and distributed in the network marketing industry. The demand for training, experts, teachers and coaches in this new model of network marketing is unprecedented and may be even bigger than the broader home based industry once it hits full swing."

On April 2, 2009 Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer Professional went into full swing for a brief period of time. Brief meaning less than 12 hours. Ann and Mike didn't want to overwhelm the customer service department and jeopardize the value to its new members.

What happened was at 11:00 a.m the doors were opened for members of the original Renegade Network Marketer System who opted in for Ann Siegs Renegade Marketer Professional Grand Opening. It was also open to a select group of people outside of the Renegade Network Marketers System who signed up for the early bird special.

They knew or thought they knew what their servers could handle. At 12:00 the doors were open to the general public and it was like a stampede. The servers nearly crashed and over 38,000 people were left at the doors. That is what I call a successful Grand Opening.

Finally after the dust settled, and presumably more servers, Ann and Mike decided to reopen the doors again. On April 6, 2009 the doors opened again for The Renegade Network Professional for a period of 2 days.

Jan 5, The Body Mass Index Formula

body mass index

The body mass index formula is an equation based on body weight adjusted for height. It is mostly used by doctors to diagnose patients that are overweight or obese. Its primary purpose is to provide an estimation of body fat percentage in relation to an individuals height and weight. It's not, however a completely accurate assessment and many health professionals will agree.

You need to take into consideration peoples overall body composition and age. For instance, muscular people will have a higher body mass index than those that have less muscle, such as the elderly. When two people have the same body mass index it does not necessarily mean that they have the same body fat percentage. For example, men generally will have a lower body fat percentage than women.

Knowing that the body mass index formula does not measure body fat percentage should help you in assessing the state of your obese child's health.

Body Fat Percentage - The Big Picture

It's first helpful to know what percentage of your obese child's total weight is comprised of fat. There are several methods available of doing this. However, it is worth noting that if you already know the body fat percentage of your child is higher than it should be then proper nutrition and exercise is the best solution. For those who are curious here are a few examples.

Hydrostatic Weighing

Also known as underwater weighing. This is by far the most accurate means to calculate fat percentage but it can be rather expensive and is not something that can be done at home. This method is performed by being totally submerged in water. Knowing that fat is less dense than muscle and bones it is fairly easy to calculate the fat percentage.

Body Fat Calipers

This is a much more affordable alternative and is readily available. Use the calipers to take a pinch of skin and record the measurements. This is usually done at several different locations of your body and it is recommended to use the same location when you check on your progress. You then use the body mass index formula to determine the body fat percentage. If you plan on using this method my advice is not to purchase the cheap calipers they are not very accurate.

Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis or BIA

This method uses body fat scales that send a safe small electrical current through the body to calculate the amount of body fat tissue. Your body fat percentage is then calculated based on height, weight, age and sex. It is a harmless method and fairly accurate. These scales are available in the marketplace and reasonably priced.

Omron Fat Loss Monitor With Scale, 1-Unit

The Final Analysis

Helping your child overcome obesity is a challenge. Sometimes it is best to have some facts and figures enabling them to compare their overall progress.

The starting point would be to first know what their ideal weight should be. This way they have a goal to reach. At first it may appear to be an unattainable goal so you need to offer encouragement and even volunteer to participate.

Design a chart that you can use to record the body mass index formula results in and set a schedule for checking on their progress. Maybe even set up a file on the computer to keep track of their progress.

Or perhaps you are unhappy with the results and need some help. You are not alone in feeling this way sometimes the hardest thing to do is to ask. We are all built differently and our needs differ as well. If you find yourself in this situation feel free to contact us for answers to your questions and ideas on how to solve the problem.
