As a mom and dietitian in the food freedom and body positivity space, I thought raising kids without food rules would be a sinch. But lately I’ve been overwhelmed by all the sugar! My kids get offered sugar just about everywhere they go, even the end of their doctor visit (“want a lollipop”?) or their haircuts (“want some candy?”) and their sports games (“Gatorade for all!”). I feel like it’s gotten out of hand, so I gathered an expert on kids and feeding, Jennifer Anderson.
Jennifer provides tips on how to handle all the sugar, but without being restrictive and authoritarian.
Check out the podcast to get the full scoop on the effects of sugar on children, how to reduce sugar in kids' diet, hidden sugars in kids' foods, and healthy lunch ideas that are low sugar. Because we know for sure as mamas sugar and kids' behavior are linked.
