New Weight Loss Program Launched For Families
Nationwide Children’s Hospital just launched a new program to help families eat healthy meals and make nutritious food choices. The goal is to help cut the rate of childhood obesity.
It’s called “Feeding Your Kids” and it is a program the sends parents emails and text messages either daily for 45 days, or for 90 days.
The goal is to give parents easy, free tips for healthy choices that will last a lifetime.
“Studies have shown that if you are able to teach people over a period of time little steps, that you can actually end up with a really big change, because they don’t get overwhelmed and each time they are successful with one step, they are more likely to try the next step,” said Dr. Ihuoma Eneli, Medical Director of the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
Eneli said the emails and text messages are written from a parent’s perspective and include advice on healthy eating, grocery shopping, and meal preparation.
