• I’m all about health and wellness for the whole family where weight loss occurs as a side effect.

• After reading an article in Vogue about a mother putting her 7-year-old on a diet, I’ve re-framed her actions for a healthier outcome


• Instead of fat talk

Model healthy eating behaviors


• Instead of counting calories

Grow, cook and enjoy nourishing food as a family


• Instead of referring to foods as “good” and “bad”

Talk about food as nourishment and emphasize the best stuff


• Instead of banning sweets

Allow them infrequently like at social events


• Instead of diet soda and 100-calorie snack packs

Offer fun finger foods, cut up veggies and dips, trail mix, smoothies, fruit and water
