Slimkids

It is a frightening fact that 1 in 4 American children are classified as obese, even children as young as 7 years old are succumbing to the obesity epidemic that is sweeping the nation.

Slimkids is a weight loss program that is designed specifically for children and adolescents which is approved by dieticians and lasts for a minimum of 10 weeks. This diet focuses on three elements to ensure weight loss, diet, exercise and good habits. The overall focus is not just weight loss but rather training children to develop healthy habits for life. On average a child will lose about 1.5lbs per week and the majority of children who follow this program lose about 12lbs over the course of the 10 weeks.

The main aim of Slimkids is not to have a specialized diet for children or a kind of mini-Atkins but rather to teach proper nutrition, portion control and to promote a healthy lifestyle in terms of eating more fruit and vegetables and taking more exercise.

The benefit of this weight loss program is that they can enjoy their favourite foods such as hamburgers and hot dogs without gaining weight, mainly as a result of learning portion control. Also this program does not use any specialized foods or drugs to stimulate weight loss.
