Much like their adult counterparts, obese children are tethered to a desk. Pressured by a deadline. Peckish by mid-afternoon. If that’s you and your kids, then you’re likely among the 72 percent of employees who eat an unhealthy snack, like chips or candy, at least once a week. And fully 27 percent of those snackers eat unhealthy snacks three or more times a week!

Given that more and more adults and children are eating prepared foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, imagine the level of unhealthy food many people eat each week. Actually, I don’t have to imagine, as I have met many of them in my diet coaching clinical practice for the overweight yet undernourished.

So, plan ahead to snatch up real food for your obese child and yourself.
