Preventing overweight and obesity in kids is really important because you don’t want them entering adulthood with a brain set to eating to be fat.

Preventing overweight and obesity in kids is really important because you don’t want them to hit adulthood with a brain that’s reset to a higher point where they’re eating to be fat, if you like.

So what you’ve got to do is eat regular meals at the table with no screens on, no laptops, no iPads, no television, eat as a family.

Try portion control and avoid empty calories.
