[QUOTE="Coach_D, post: 239159, member: 44630"] Very saddened by what I am hearing here. Who is in charge in your home, you or the kid? The kid eats what you tell him to eat period, there is 0 negotiation. !st, throw that rubbish about turning him vegetarian in the trash. You don't take kids and turn them into paste eating morons because they are pushing the boundary of authority! Have some one qualified design you a diet plan that compliments the fact that he is a growing child with nutrient/macro requirements. There must be included a balance of all foods. Red Meats, pork, chicken etc grains, dairy etc. There should not be any soy or anything derived from soy! If your kid turns his nose up at something then fine, off to bed with nothing. He gets the same food again cold for breakfast. He'll eat when he's damned hungry I guarantee it. You ever hear the expression "spare the rod, spoil the child". if not look it up and learn the lesson. Kids should have 0 issue maintaining an active lifestyle and if they do its only because the parent has allowed them to become sedentary and lazy...listen carefully...thats YOUR fault and you need to fix it. As little as 10-15 minutes brisk walking post every meal can change lives. Look up something called "The Vertical Diet" by Stan Efferding. It can easily be modified to suit children! I'm curious as to how many children the folks making suggestions like going veg or letting him pig out on anything healthy etc etc, have raised. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess 0 big fat goose egg or if they have raised kids I wonder what their physical conditioning levels are? Letting him "pig out" at all simply defies common sense and does not teach any semblance of all things in moderation. Later in life when he refuses to put the GD fork down that will be on you! The bottom line is that 1st you need to take back control of this situation. You do not negotiate with kids, you don't bargain. You tell them to jump and they ask how high sir! Do take the time to tell your son that you are worried about his health and that until he is legal age these concerns are your responsibility, and that you sincerely hope he will so what lengths yu are going to in order to help him be healthy. BTW kids raised quite successfully, 2 extremely healthy/active kids of my own. I took in a cousin when his parents split and a foster from a really broken home so thats 4 alltogether that I either as a single dad or as half a couple with my now wife have raised. All healthy, all athletic and all either having gone to and completed university or are doing so. Further, there is no such thing as sugar addiction.. People develop hard to break, very negative habits as concerns sugary sweet foods but there is absolutely no science to support that anyone has ever become or could become addicted to sugar! Very much like that knob Gabor Mate and a few of his peers claim that drug addiction is not a choice lol these ridiculous notions serve nothing but to alleviate the necessity of taking responsibility for one's own actions and mistakes! Take back control, thats where this all starts in the right direction! [/QUOTE]
