What are some ways to manage a healthy diet with a family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lead by example. : First step is to bring in healthier foods into the household. Next step is definitely lead by example, you eat healthier and they will follow. Consider less trips for fast food (i know not easy in today's society, I have kids i understand). Also introduce some exercise into the family routine, go for a walk as a family or if in a park, you start jogging and the kids will follow.
