It is extremely important to start the day with a good, nutritious breakfast for children and adults. Your comments about parents setting the example is so necessary for parents to hear. We have a really creative and interactive optimal weight and healthy lifestyle program for children. We are seeing very exciting and encouraging results for the kids and parents who are following our program. A huge emphasis in our program is parental involvement and commitment. My partner, Dr. Lisa Ramey, and I just did an interview on Fox 35 in Orlando, Fl. These are some of the exact points we emphasized in the interview and in our program. http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpp/mornings/021109YoMedics_Weight_loss_for_kids#46555268-1 Hello, your piece about breakfast and obesity is “spot on”.

Take care, Andrew Before my journey into the healthy lifestyle I would always skip breakfast and since I have started eating breakfast I have noticed that I don’t get hungry at nights any more and I don’t binge from my diet.

By mid-morning I would be ravenous if I skipped breakfast. Then I would be more likely to grab a cookie or binge on whatever is in sight! I believe in the 5 meals a day plan. (normal-sized breakfast, lunch and dinner with an apple and yogurt or diet bagel or bialy and fruit in between meals) So I encourage my kids to eat a healthy snack in between meals so they are not starving at mealtime and, as a result, overeating.

I am a huge fan of eating breakfast every morning, even if I'm not hungry. It gets your system started, helps with metabolism, and gives you energy. There is a saying that goes along the lines of "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper" I totally agree with this, though it is difficult to do sometimes This is true for kids and adults!
