Guernsey’s obese children

19/05/2010 by admin.

I was in M&S earlier with a basket full of fruit and veg and have to admit to being rather horrified when I saw what the lady behind me in the queue unloaded from her shopping basket.  It was full of cakes, pastries and unhealthy snacks.  There were about a dozen items and I could not see one healthy piece of food.  Now, it is possible I guess that she does her fruit and veg shopping elsewhere or on another day but that was a year’s quota of cakes and pastries for me, probably more than a year to be honest.  The lady herself was rather overweight/obese and I was sorry to see that her eldest daughter was obese and younger daughter was overweight and my guess is will be obese in a few years.  This is not an uncommon sight - there were other overweight children in the car park.

Why do people continue to ignore the simple healthy eating advice that is all around us and feed their children a load of fatty snacks.  No wonder some children have behavioural problems and don’t want to exercise.  Not to mention future food related disorders or hang ups.

C’mon parents, you wouldn’t put cola in your car as it wouldn’t run very well but you are happy to load up your most precious possessions with rubbish.

How to Lose Weight - Tip 4

19/05/2010 by admin.

It’s all in the planning.  Ensure you have healthy snacks available both at home and in your office drawer.  Also plan your meals for each day so that you always have a healthy meal at the ready.  It doesn’t have to take hours to cook good food.  Use a steamer - your food can be cooking whilst you take care of other chores.  Cooking with pasta, rice, beans, fish doesn’t take long.  Excuses are just that….excuses.

Well done to last night’s boot camp participants for making it up Jerbourg steps.  We can use those times as markers for improvement throughout the spring/summer.
