How to Eliminate Snacks

If you are reading this then your child is probably overweight. If your child is overweight then they probably eat a lot of snacks. Snacks are a major problem for kids these days. Years ago snacks were not a problem as most people couldn’t afford snacks but now the large majority of children do eat snacks. Everyday! This would be a good thing is the snacks they were eating were fruit but the snacks that most kids eat are either sweets or chocolate and this is most definitely not good.

So how can you prevent your child from eating snacks? This is the hardest part. Your child eats snacks because they are, or they think they are, hungry. It is almost impossible to stop this feeling or hunger from occurring and is therefore very hard to stop your child from snacking. The easier and probably healthier way of stop your child from eating those healthy snacks is by giving them fruit to snack on instead. But there are some guidlines which you need to stick to in order to make this work.

• If your child have more than one snack in the day then give them what they would normally eat for all of the snacks instead of one which you should give them fruit for about a week and then after that week give them two pieces of fruit in replace of two of the snacks and continue this until your child is only eating fruit as snacks.

• After your child has been eating all fruit for a week then cut out one of the snacks. Then after another week cut out another snack. You should keep doing this untill all snacks have been eliminated.


If you do manage to eliminate or even jut make your childs snacks healthier you will see a major improvement in your childs weight and health.

I am a former special education teacher and I wrote a children's picture book that tackles the issue of childhood obesity. Hunka Chunka Monkey Shapes Up entertains children without being preachy. It places a simple truth as a foundation in their hearts.....to cut back on their favorite snack, become active and make new friends.

Chris Powell of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition reads my book to his children every night. He stated on his FaceBook, "The kids are requesting Hunka Chunka Monkey Shapes Up for their bedtime story tonight....AGAIN! This is the third in a row, but I love it. What a great message of healthy living for children:). Nicely done, Sam E Bromley!" Chris's wife, Heidi Powell, used such words as 'amazing' and 'brilliant' when describing my story! I am excited about getting this message out. You can go to YouTube.com and type in my book's name: Hunka Chunka Monkey Shapes Up and see a brief message about my story! Please pass this on for all to see and partner with me and let us stop the obesity problem in America by encouraging the very young to skip, run and jump their way to a better life and a better future!

It is really hard to lose weight most especially if we don't have any decipline and focus.Just like my experience, I tried to work on anything that will help me but I keep on "cheating" and still back to the old way that I'm doing. I saw one advertisement on the internet about the rocalabs formula that will give us the same effect of having the actual gastric bypass surgery but no surgery at all. Is this something new? How long it has been available? Have guys heared anything about it? Is it really effective and much safer than gastric bypass surgery?
