How a Low Carb Lifestyle Can Help Your Entire Family

The latest challenging fact to be learned about the
great American obesity problem is that among children,
the number of clinically obese children has doubled in
the last two decades, according to the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). In fact, by 2002, NIH says
that one in five children in the US is overweight.

Obese children are also developing diseases like Type
2 Diabetes that used to only occur in adults. And
overweight kids tend to become overweight adults,
continuing to put them at greater risk for heart
disease, high blood pressure and stroke. Perhaps
potentially more devastating is that children who are
teased a lot can develop low self-esteem and
depression.

There are many households in which not
only one or more children are obese, but frequently
one or both parents are also obese. Many parents are
also at risk for Type 2 Diabetes. Even members of a
household who do not have these problems will benefit
from a low carb lifestyle because all Americans are
far too dependent on processed sugar and
carbohydrates, putting all of us at risk for obesity
and myriad other health problems. Does any of this
sound like you?

What’s a concerned parent to do?

Adopt The Five Keys to Low Carb Success for your whole
family. I sincerely hope you know by now that the
first is “Information.” Find ways for whole family
learn the principles of health according to low carb,
including even the members of your household who may
not be obese. At least those needing a lifestyle
change should learn as much as they can about low carb
– and LowCarb-Lifestyles.Com helps us do that.

The Second Key is “Motivation.” We advise our members
to find ways to motivate themselves when the going
gets tough. Motivation helps us answer important
internal questions for ourselves, such as, “Why am I
really doing this – what’s the payoff?” “Why do I need
to stay the course?” “Who benefits from my being
healthy, trim and peaceful besides me – do I have a
responsibility to anyone else?” In a household setting
you can go through this process and then show your
children how to do the same. Then the whole family can
pledge their goals to each other at a special family
meeting.

The Third Key is, “Nutrition.” While seemingly simple,
keeping a varied menu that the whole family looks
forward to eating every day is not easy. Many low carb
recipe books are turning up these days;
LowCarb.Lifestyels.Com has literally hundreds of
recipes for members to choose from. Use them to entice
your whole household into a low carb lifestyle!

The Fourth Key is, “Fitness.” We can exercise with our
significant other and children – “the family that
exercises together…” But it is a wonderful thing to
exercise together, even just you and one child. You
can go together for walking, jogging, bicycling,
tennis, golf, basketball and so on. There are numerous
possibilities. The best part is, while you are
building a healthy low carb lifestyle, you are also
building your relationship with your child.

The Fifth Key is, “Support.” While
LowCarb.Lifestyles.Com helps our member to build a
support network in online forums and by emailing each
other inside the community, your family is a natural
support base! Act on the previous four Keys in your
family, and your home will become your support base.
Fantastic!

If you implement even one of the Five Keys in your
home life, your will see definite results in a very
short time, for your physical health and also for the
emotional and spiritual health of your family.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Popular Diet... Low Carb Does Not Mean No Carbs In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were given everything they needed to be healthy and happy. They had plenty of vegetables, fruits, fish, and meats. The garden was a buffet of all you can eat healthy foods. Now when I say all you can eat, I am not talking about your local pizza buffet or the greasy spoon buffet. I am talking about an abundance of healthy carbs and lean meats. Yes, they probably had potatoes but without a deep fryer or butter and sour cream, those potatoes were not a problem. There were no chocolate trees, no potato chip factories, no sweet soft drinks, and definitely no ice cream. They were provided with the nutrients that their bodies were created to need and nothing more. Unfortunately, when they were thrown out of the Garden, the road to unhealthy eating had begun. As with everything in history, as man progresses, he regresses. The first warrior's weapon of choice was a stone. Look how far we have come from that stone that was used for the first murder. Now we have bombs that can blow up whole countries. Progress? -- maybe not. In terms of food, we have more choices than ever before in history, but one truth has survived since the beginning of time. If you consume more calories than you utilize, you will gain weight. Every diet, no matter which one you look at, still runs on this principal. Eating a balanced diet of Adam and Eve's fruits, vegetables, and lean meat will allow anyone to lose weight. Add exercise and you will lose more weight. Even a twenty minute walk will help you lose weight. How many of you ride around a parking lot five or ten minutes to find the closest parking space rather than walk a few extra steps. Don't deny it; I know you are out there...
