Do you realize, that the behavior of the child in question turns out we can duplicate food to maintain body weight does not continue to grow? Michelle May, MD, author of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat: How to Break Your repent-Eat-Repeat Cycle, reminding some of the eating habits of children we leave behind as an adult:
Only eat when hungry. From birth, babies know when they should eat, and they cry to tell you that they are hungry. Unfortunately, as adults, we learn this ability no longer. You can choose to eat anytime other than hunger, whether it's at a friend's birthday, when the stress, time for fun, or have a bite to eat while in office. By recognizing the difference between need and want to eat, you can learn more when and how much food you need.
Stop eating when full. Little would have turned away, a sign that he no longer wants to eat. While you are trying to clean your plate already full though, because there are many people aware of hunger in the world. This is not a wrong notion, but you can find a way to not force myself to eat on a plate. Whether it's wrapped (when dining in restaurants), or sharing with friends (if from the beginning you feel the food is too much for you).
Snacks in between meals. Children usually prefer to eat snacks, interspersed with snacks before the next mealtime. A diet like this to keep their metabolism to keep working all day. Adults who want to remain good metabolism, need to emulate this way.
Playing with food. Eating is a sensory experience for children. They love kissing, touching and exploring each suapannya. This way will help you eat less, but able to enjoy it more. You will also appreciate the aroma, appearance, and taste better, if you do not do it while watching TV, driving, or reading.
Be picky eaters. Children will not want to eat something they do not like, or food that they had never tried. Imagine how much you can eat less if you do not keep eating food that tastes less to your liking.
Learn to try new foods. So that children will love the new food, you may have to force him to eat 10 times. You can apply the rule "two bite". Try double-bites for the new food. If you still do not like it, you do not have to eat it again. However, you should try it again sometime. Well, this is true for healthy food that you've been avoiding.
Following the example. What you eat, that's what will be eaten by children. So since he was a kid if you do not give an example by eating vegetables, your child will not follow it. Now it's your turn to follow the example of good behavior that suggested to you. If your child follow the diet without realizing it, as an adult you should follow the example of eating right because you know what the cause.
