[QUOTE="JohnTaylorHK, post: 239458, member: 33105"] I have 2 sons (20 and 18 yo) and a daughter (8 yo). My older son is autistic, but incredibly smart with a near-photographic memory, graduating with First Honors from Senior High School. He often skips breakfast only to replace it later with candy bars and chips, despite my appeals. He does little to no exercise. My 18 yo works out every day and, for the most part, eats a healthy diet. They have both received the same advice from me regarding diet and exercise, but have reacted markedly differently. I sympathise with elsoar as, even though I'm the one buying the snack foods, one has developed a good understanding of health whilst the other has not. My plan is to stick with trying to educate them both and just realise that some kids get it, and some don't. [USER=18102]@elsoar[/USER] BTW, I only consider milk from your list as being advisable (usually fortified with a good b6 content) the rest is garbage. Fruit is NOT healthy, especially when juiced and neither is anything made with processed flour, added blueberries or not. I shudder to think what is in "eggo waffle french toasticks". Your diet should consist of whole foods, lightly (slowly) cooked if needed. No sugar, no PUFA oils, nothing processed whatsoever. Use an app (I suggest Cronometer) to discover just how lacking your current diet is in all major nutrients. Keep to a caloric input commensurate with your desired BMI, and try to get at least 150% of the RDA of all vitamins and minerals. An "average person", if there is such a thing, needs at least 80gms of protein per day. Top up any caloric deficit with either coconut oil or olive oil. [/QUOTE]
