My Friend and renowned nutritionist Dr. Chris Mohr created a program to help children eat to fuel their bodies. He has worked with many sports teams, taught at several universities, is an ironman tri-althlete and the author of multiple books on nutrition. This is a DVD program will help your child understand how to best choose foods to nourish and support their bodies weather they are an athlete or unfit.
I can not stress enough the importance for your children to consume healthy foods they are growing up on highly processed, genetically modified foods filled with dyes, chemicals and know plastics, carcinogens and addictive properties. If boot camp can positively influence you to help your children make better food choices, I would be thrilled!!!
Making changes for children when it comes to food, can not be drastic. They should be involved in the decision progress and adapt age appropriate changes. You can not get too strict with your child, but empower them with information. They are smart and naturally should want to be healthy - they are eating out of habit and their bodies crave sweets. Do what you can to involve them in the meal planning, grocery shopping, food preparation, and so on. Encourage them to try a new fruit and vegetable every week. Clean out your pantry of any non-nourishing foods that have empty calories.
Eating junk food is so detrimental to your children. Yesterday Cori shared a story of an experiment she did with her children at night. she took away sugary drinks (soda, chocolate milk) and sweet desserts at night and her children went from waking up during the night to sleeping through the night. One night they had ice cream and sure enough, they both wound up in her bed at 2 AM.
Below is the information on the DVD called Fuel Like a Champion. If you have food concerns, challenges or struggles with your children, consider this as a helpful tool and starting place.

Another resource being use to improve kid’s nutritional status is my new book “The ABC’s of Fruits and Vegetables and Beyond.” Out only a few months and already being bought in quantity for class use. I hope parents and teachers interested in getting kids to develop a friendly attitude towards fruits and vegetables should take a look at it.
It is designed for kids of all ages as it is two books in one – children first learn their alphabet through produce poems and then go on to hundreds of related activities. Coauthored by best-selling food writer David Goldbeck (me) and Jim Henson writer Steve Charney. More at HealthyHighways.com
