Kids wanna know how to look and feel good, too Physical Education in public schools is virtually non-existent now This hurts kids' brains Even taking away recess time is detrimental Exercise is a poor way to lose weight, but is still important for brain function and for muscle mass Losing weight has everything to do with hormones Calorie in / calorie out does not work Compare this to using a car's gas all up and then not refueling -- it simply does not work! Can be hard for kids to get off of all the added sugar, especially in breakfast foods Pretty much all breakfast food marketed towards kids has LOTS of sugar and grains Soft drinks, even diet, will not allow you to lose weight! You must quit the sugar and artificial sugar, even if you are doing everything else right Juice is also straight sugar Once you juice fruit, you lose the fiber and it is literally just a sugar bomb Will cause a crazy glucose spike
