How to Lose Weight & Transform Your Health for Life

Our free on-demand video training will walk you through how to make this THE year you set health goals…and keep them.

This is a great infographic showing how certain foods leave you crashing soon after eating them. So we may think bread, toast, and cereal fill our children up, but they will soon be hungry again. These foods feed them energy but no nourishment or nutrients.

The best foods are those based on good quality protein and good healthy fats. Sure children can have unprocessed carbs such as sweet potatoes and fruit but in limited amounts. It is the whole food approach that is important.

How to slowly cut back on sugar for kids

50 Keto Kids Snack Ideas + FREE eBook

Tip 1: Serve savoury snacks, not sweet snacks

One of the trickiest things parents find when they go sugar-free or low carb is what to give children for after-school snacks. It’s hard to change our mindset from giving our children sweet treats such as muesli bars, cereal/granola, toast and sugary spreads, cakes, or baking, to giving them savoury snacks.

Healthy sugar-free snacks need to be portable while driving to sports and activities. We are so used to having food on hand that has a long shelf life and comes in a packet.

Tip 2: Serve leftovers

Leftovers are under-utilised. They’re easy and nutritious. Cook once, serve twice.

Very rarely do I have time to make pancakes after school, but if I do, I make a double or triple batch and keep them for their lunch boxes.

If you have the oven on, always cook an extra batch of sausages or chicken purely for the next few day’s lunch or snacks.

It’s about thinking differently, cooking extra, and making it as easy as you can for yourself.

Tip 3: Pack car snacks (to avoid emergency fast-food)

Make sure you have a ready supply of healthy snacks in the car to avoid those emergency situations where your children are hungry, ratty, and about to have a melt-down or tantrum. This inevitably leads to fast food to solve the situation.

Pack each child a little lunch box for the car to keep them happy, full and it helps contain any mess.

Have healthy sugar-free snacks in the car such as nuts, pork rinds, beef jerky, and sugar-free granola bars.

Tip 4: If you have picky eaters – stop snacking so often!

Try to cut down on how much and how often your children snack. It is so much easier to encourage children to eat a nutritious dinner when they’re hungry.

Sometimes there is no other option, I’m realistic, but let’s see if we can do the best we can as often as we can, then there is less pressure on the occasions when we can’t.

Tip 5: Stop the preservatives – for happy kids

We are the first generation to grow up consuming so many preservatives and so many packaged snacks. Americans now spend more on snacks than meals.

If those preservatives are stopping the bacteria from growing in our food, what is it doing to the beneficial bacteria in our bodies? Our gut health is incredibly important with 75% of our serotonin (the happy hormone) and our immunity is made in our gut.
