Kids come in all shapes and sizes as do adults. A child's shape is determined by his parents but size is determined by the amount and kinds of food the child consumes each day. The emphasis in this program is to stop the weight gain while maintaining normal growth and development.

Growing kids should not diet, but often consume more calories than the body needs. When indicated, weight loss in children should occur slowly. This program takes a balanced approach to eating. The focus is balancing calories for growth while reducing fat and sugar and increasing physical activity each day. 

Way To Go Kids can be used in Wellness or Fitness Centers, Health Education Programs, Hospital Programs, Recreation Programs, Schools and other facilities that are interested in the health of kids. The program is written to be taught by a Registered Dietitian (RD). It can also be used by the RD to implement private nutrition counseling with kids and their families.
