DESCRIPTION

One of the most difficult parts of being a parent is trying to make sure our family's diets are being maintained in a healthy way. Preparing healthy meals can be time-consuming and sometimes difficult, and we sometimes face opposition when it finally arrives at the table. How can you keep motivated, and also, how can we convince our children that eating well is important?

In this week’s show, James gives you five practical ways in which you can ensure your mealtimes are healthy affairs!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first step in getting your kids to eat well is to stop stressing about it. Confrontation only exacerbates the issue.

Aim to get as many colours as you can onto the plate. You can turn this into a colour game for younger children.

Diets are principles. When you instil a diet into your household, it’s vital that you remain consistent, and focus on why you’ve initiated it in the first place.

Meal-planning is a remarkably effective way of making sure you don’t stray too far from your diet principles.

Introduce healthy elements into your children’s meals in increments. It’s far easier to get them to embrace healthy change if it isn’t all at once.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Getting stressed about it makes the situation worse’

‘Without your health you haven’t got anything’

‘I believe in principles of eating'

‘One McDonald’s a month isn’t the end of the world'
