As a child obese person (obese at 2 years old, morbidly by 8), hearing that you're supposed to play more and move more to lose weight and then for years attempting to do that and failing over and over again is not only useless but actively detrimental to young children.
Also, I only ate "healthier food options" during that time. I ate too much of it, sure, but "portion control" doesn't mean much when there's healthy carbohydrates everywhere to eat.
- Jtsummers 8y agoActually, I didn't think about the portion control part. That makes sense. And there would be differences in how kids (especially) would perceive the emphasis of the program versus how adults might. Then there's which aspects and parts the facilitators emphasize.
