My #1 tip to end childhood obesity
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m we’re discussing the following, who is responsible for childhood obesity in America?
But in this episode of Freestyle Friday, I’m looking for your feedback in answering this question.
This topic was inspired by a 17 year old who sent me the following question:
“I’m 17 years old, how can I Live Lean?”
After reading this question, I thought to myself, as a 17 year old, whose responsibility is it to teach kids how to be healthy, and Live Lean.
It’s pretty clear, more and more overweight kids are growing up in a lifestyle, that doesn’t teach healthy eating habits, or encourage activity and movement.
So the ultimate question is, who’s responsible to help kids live a healthy lifestyle, and avoid this obesity epidemic that is affecting so many children of America?
Lets discuss.
Is the epidemic of childhood obesity in America the responsibility of:
- the parents?
- the children?
- the education system?
- the government?
But before you share your opinion, the goal of this post is not just to place blame.
The goal is for you to have your say, by sharing tips, strategies, and experiences that has worked for your family.
How do you help your children live a healthy lifestyle?
I know my parents were really good with me, as they encouraged me to be active in sports at a young age.
I really believe that moving your body more, by playing sports as a kid, is so important.
But the other critical part of a healthy lifestyle, is nutrition.
What are your children eating?
How do you get your children to stop eating junk food, especially when their school vending machines are filled with soda, potato chips, and chocolate bars?
Now that I have a 2 year old daughter and a newborn son, I often wonder how can I educate them to make smarter food choices.

In other words, how can I get my kids to avoid the temptation, especially when they’re probably being peer pressured by seeing their friends eating junk food.
So I’m very interested to hear from you.
What you have you done with your kids and what recommended tips and strategies would you share with new parents?
The goal is to help everyone in the Live Lean Nation community, learn how to instill a healthy lifestyle for their young kids.
My #1 tip to end childhood obesity
The number one tip I recommend, besides getting your kids more active, by enrolling them into sports, is reducing the amount of soda consumption.
I can’t believe the amount of kids that go into grocery stores and walk out with soda or sugar filled energy drinks.
Some of these sugar filled sodas and energy drinks contain over 200 calories and 50 grams of sugar per serving.
So I want to hear your best tips for this 17 year old.
If this 17 year old’s parents, the government, and the education system are not helping, hopefully as the Live Lean Nation, we can help him, and his parents, make better decisions.
