Children’s Hospital Boston, recently offered 6
tips to readers of the SUGAR SHOCK! Blog.

Ending_the_food_fight_by_ludwig_51j On the upcoming Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show, you’ll get
to receive pointers directly from Dr. Ludwig, in which he’ll teach you how to
help trim down your kids and how to get them to cut back on those tempting
desserts.

Dr. Ludwig also is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at
Harvard Medical School and a revered researcher, who has come up with some
eye-opening conclusions about the role of culprit carbs to weight gain. During
our interview, Dr. Ludwig will, for instance, help teach you:

  • How to explain to your youngsters the differences between “real food” like
    veggies and fruits and “fake food” like sugary soda and processed chips,
    crackers, cakes, etc.   
  • How to help your kids make friends with crunchy, savory vegetables.
  • How to wean your kids off soda – the nutrient-lacking sugary drink that can
    pack on those pounds.
  • How to get your kids to eat healthy meals and snacks even if they now swear
    they’ll never have them.
  • How to introduce your family to tasty, fiber-filled whole grains such as
    brown rice, steel cut oats, millet and quinoa.
  • How to transform food conflict into food cooperation.
  • What do when your children bug you for candies, cookies, chips, pizza or
    fast food.
  • How your children can have fun becoming food label-reading experts so they
    can make better food choices.
  • What to tell your children to combat peer pressure to eat junk food.
  • How to help your kids enjoy getting active.
  • How to inspire and help your kids to eat healthy, even if they’re on the
    run.
