Parents… Here's 7 ways to help your kids lose weight

1. Set an example

If you're not overweight or if you're overweight and You're seriously doing something about it then go on to #2 but…

Please don't be one of those parents who continually eats the wrong things, never exercises and then You act surprised when your own children are overweight and yes…

You do deserve a pat on your back for really wanting your kid to lose weight but …

• How are you going to preach better eating with a candy bar stuck in your mouth and…
• How are you going to tell your kids to get off their ass and do something when you're on your ass most of the time? It's just like…
• How are you going to tell someone "smoking can kill you" with a cigarette in your mouth and a pack of Newports hanging out of your pocket?

Bottom line is this…

If you want your kids to lose weight (and if you truly want your kid to enjoy a longer lasting life without them getting picked on daily, having suicidal thoughts, etc.) then you're going to have to make a commitment as well and set an example and this means…

Preparing, buying & eating the right foods, exercising with your kids (if you can) or… Proving to them that you are staying active to at least show them you're making an effort as well.

2. Remember: You're the parent

If you live in America then you know this is a democratic society built on freedom but no matter what country you live in…

Your house is a dictatorship and YOU ARE THE DICTATOR so…

You need to stop trying to be your kids best friend and let them eat anything they want and eat as much as they like until their weight gets uncontrollable and YES…!

• You have the right as a parent/dictator to control your kids diet &…
• You can say no to McDonald's, No to Ice Cream, No to bad foods (not all the time) but you need to say no at least 8 times out of 10 or enough times to prevent them from getting fat!

Trying to be your kids best friend and letting them have their way will only lead to disastrous results and you can play the video below if you don't believe me…

It's a shame that some parents have to let a talk show like Maury do their job for them.

3. Get you kids a Wii, Xbox Kinect or a PlayStation Move

Your kid may be too lazy or unmotivated to workout but if you can afford it…

Get them a Wii, Xbox Kinect or a PlayStation Move or any other game system that's not only fun but gets them up off their asses at the same time.

Play the video below to see how a guy lost 11 pounds his 1st week playing a Nintendo Wii…

4. Set new rules for watching TV & playing video games

Remember you're the parent/dictator (see #2) so these rules are perfectly okay &… Make sure that you set an example (see #1) and follow these 3 simple rules…

1. Your kids cannot watch TV or play Video Games until they're finished exercising for the day but…
2. They can exercise while watching TV on a treadmill or elliptical if they don't want to miss their favorite show &…
3. They can play Video Games as much as they like if its a Wii, Xbox Kinect or a PlayStation Move

5. Make your kids watch Super Size Me at least 2 times!

Super Size Me is about a guy who gained 30 pounds in 30 days eating nothing but McDonalds (he almost had a heart attack in the process) and it took him an extremely long time to lose all the weight he gained and hopefully after your kids watch supersize me…

They'll avoid bad foods as much as possible or at least they'll never want to go to McDonalds again.

You can buy supersize me here and you can play the video trailer below to get an idea of what it's about…
