Did the programs work for the two children who were overweight? Both kids were ready to become young and healthy kids again after being obese their whole life. The first steps for both of the kids was finding what their body mass index (BMI) was. Both of them had very high BMI readings, but they were not high enough to be considered morbidly obese, which is the worst of the worst. Both of the kid’s doctors knew that something needed to change very fast because the kids are at a very high risk for many diseases if they stay the way they are.
The doctors tried to think of something simple for both of these kids because they barely know how to read and write and it would be very hard to teach them how to watch what they eat and do. So the doctor came up with a solution that was called Green light, Yellow light, and Red light. Green light meant they could eat foods that were good and healthy for them, yellow light meant that they could have foods that were ok for them and they could only have them once and awhile, and red meant stay away from the bad foods.
The plan made by the doctor really helped the kids and their families. It made the families eat healthier and made their grocery shopping more fun because the kids had a part in picking and choosing what to put in the cart. The families really noticed that their children's lifestyle was becoming more healthy. The kids started to lose some weight just by changing what they put into their mouths. The doctors liked what they saw and said that they are happy to see that simple things are changing their lifestyles.
This plan created by the doctors sounds like a really good idea. I like how they make it more fun for the kids by including them in on the grocery shopping and being able to relate this plan to fun games that they play. I believe that adults could really benefit from this too, and it’s not just meant for kids. It’s good to see that these kids’ lives are starting to come around and become healthier.
