No, plus my kids enjoyed the many ways on eating healthy from this book. We all want our children to be fit and healthy, but the current invasion of fast food, sugary snacks, and oversize portions are creating an epidemic of overweight, inactive, and unhealthy kids. The powerful influences of the fast-food industry, omnipresent junk food advertising, and the vicious cycle of TV, computer games, and Internet addictions only make our children more susceptible to a sedentary lifestyle and a lifetime of bad habits and obesity. Dedicated mom and Nutritional Consultant Sirkka Wolke says it’s time to say good-bye to sugarcoated cereals, artificially colored cheese puffs, oceans of sugary soft drinks, nutritionally deficient school lunches, and fast-food super meals!
This book is not a diet which will make the transition even better for not only for yourself but for your child. In “FitKid 7″ she shows you how to create a healthy, balanced lifestyle for your kids and how to make the transition from dairy-, fat-, sugar-, and chemical-laden foods to the vibrant, natural, nourishing foods we were all meant to eat.
You’ll find general dietary guidelines for healthy eating for active kids, as well as tips on pre- and post-exercise nutrition, staying hydrated while exercising, and healthy snacks. This book offers a proven plan to help parents and kids alike learn to eat healthier and feel better, it features:
The Fitkid 7 Steps
Why is it happening?
The Tools We need
Harmful Foo Additives List
Great Ideas for Meals and Snacks
List of Extra Tips
Fit and Healthy foods does equal Healthy Children. “FitKid 7″ provides the essential information on creating a lifetime of nutritional eating habits for your children. Highly recommended to those who care.

Good things sometimes come wrapped in small packages, and this is certainly true for this concise book. It’s true that there’s nothing earth-shattering between the covers, but only because most people already know the validity of the author’s recommendations and choose to push the information to the back of their minds in favor of the easier way out. What this book does is condense the information into seven palatable bites, so that the health of your family is served to you on a plate for easy consumption.
Wouldn’t you rather order in pizza and soda after a rough day at the office instead of putting together a healthy meal, and then convincing your kids to eat it? Sure you would! However, as the author points out, the lure of a fast food diet and a sedentary lifestyle is causing fat and unhealthy kids, and as a parent, the onus is on us to try our best to do the right thing.
The seven steps are spelled out in simple language, and in a conversational style that makes for easy reading. Seeing the information all together in one place makes planning a healthier lifestyle a lot easier, even if the actual implementation will be a lot harder than it sounds.
Convincing your child to go along with it is the toughest part, but you may be surprised by their reactions. My six year old, for example, hates reading with a passion, but when he saw this book, he asked me if he could read it. Some of the recommendations will undoubtedly cause some friction at first, but if you use this book as a guide and take it gradually at a pace to suit your lifestyle, you will be able to make a start towards cutting back on the junk and inculcating good habits for eating and exercise.
Consider this as a common sense guide to healthier living for the whole family, or, in other words – everything you already knew about a healthy lifestyle, but were afraid to put into action.
