Slimkids is a weight loss program marketed toward children who need to lose a minimum of twelve pounds in order to achieve a healthy weight.
If you are considering a diet for a child, it is very important to talk to your child’s doctor first. A child has a more sensitive system than adults, and not all diets will work well or safely for them. As a child’s body is going through different growth stages than an adult’s body, they will require different nutrients.
Perhaps one of the best things to consider is ensuring that any food is eaten in moderation, and that the options for healthy snacks are available in place of the typical sugary or unhealthy snacks. A doctor can help you and your child determine what sort of foods (and exercise, if they are trying to lose weight) are the best to use in a diet. Doctors can also help give you advice on motivating your child to stick to the diet that is chosen, and any warning signs you may need to watch out for. If the need for a diet is medically related, it is even more important to be sure that the proper diet is chosen, so as not to upset the delicate balance of developing the child’s body in relation to the diet plan.
