One way to know if you are making a difference is how you feel and the look of your body, some feel they are born to be a little fatter than others due to genetics however this is debatable, what is known for sure is your BMI score.

Kids and parents alike don't need to obsess over watching their weight if they choose to turn around the life style that got them there. Exercise needs to be incorporated into an everyday habit. Parents maybe instead of sitting on the side lines watching your child play you could watch while standing and moving a little, or even walking back and forth as your child runs back and forth in their game? You might want to take up a sport with your child or workout along side them in training; the key is to get the body moving.
If you want to go the distance in any activity you are involved in you need to feed the body- NO, I'm not advocating you now super size anything, I'm talking about adding protein in a natural way, nuts, fruits, berries, and organic chicken will add to the body the natural, healthy enzymes that fuel the body for long periods of time, where as a product coated with preservatives and sugar will give you maybe an instant surge of energy but in the long run you will be depleted quicker and the body will crash. Take care of your body today and it will take care of you for many years to come!
