Feeding the Kids: The Bendable, No-Battles, Healthy Eating System for the Whole Family Books
Product Description
Feeding your family a healthy diet (in the real world with real kids and real food) can be a challenge! Parents are trying to follow current nutrition guidelines, teach their kids healthy eating habits–and avoid too much junk food. But these goals are hard to meet when kids (and adults!) have strong food preferences; if there are daily fights over what, when, and/or how-much kids should eat; and because meals must to be fit into a super busy schedule. Feeding the Kids solves these problems with a new, simple-to-use system for feeding the entire familly well every day…all even as enjoying eating more.
This system makes it simple to:
- Find kid-friendly, healthy food easily using simple mark-reading tricks that classify all foods into three categories: Smart foods (super healthy foods packed with nutrition); Empty items (junk food that provides small nutrition but fill kids up); and In-Between choices (partly Smart and partly Empty). Using this new system, anyone can pick out the healthiest versions of snacks, drinks, breakfast cereal, pasta, lunch meats, chicken nuggets, or any other food.
- Eat enough Smart and In-Between food. Feeding the Kids includes a customized routine that makes meal plotting incredibly simple. Even better, the plot insures that the whole family gets into the problem of eating enough Smart foods each day, including: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy foods and protein-rich foods. But this plot doesn’t follow pre-set menus and certainly doesn’t include eating foods the family dislikes. Instead, this plot can be adapted to include favorite foods, meals out and family food preferences.
- Stop feeling guilty about junk food. Empties are a fun part of life, and everyone (adults and children) should be allowed to really delight in them. The Feeding the Kids approach to these foods is to: recognize which foods are Empties (especially the sneaky ones that look healthy), eliminate less-loved Empty food, then really delight in, guilt-free, the Empties the children do like.
- Serve fantastic-tasting, healthy meals, and fun, nutritious snacks…quick. Feeding the Kids includes over 50 mini-recipes and lots of simple menus thoughts that are kid-tested and extremely simple to make. Recipes include healthy versions of: chicken nuggets, milkshakes, cookies, pancakes, sorbet, hot chocolate, hamburgers, popsicles and many more family favorites.

I bought this book after reading a small about it. Very disappointed in it. It didn’t tell me anything I already knew. It is common sense to eating the food pyramid way which is not what I judge is the best way to eat. If you are just a beginner in nutrition and need a road map on how to eat, then this book should do you fine.

My daughters and I have really loved this book. The book’s “field guide” approach makes it simple to read and know. My ten year-ancient makes the snacks with the recipes provided. We like this hassle free system to feeding the kids! Thank you!

I read the reviews before buying this and plotting it would be fantastic. My 3 yr ancient is hefty and I needed some thoughts to eat more healthy. If you already know much about eating healthy, a lot of the things in this book you will already know. I really bought it for the menu items to cook things she would delight in eating. There really weren’t very receipes. If you are buying it as a cookbook, I would reckon twice. It did have some excellent tips, but it isn’t a book I’ll be using every day to help reckon of dinner thoughts.

This book is an absolute asset to any family and of course to every kitchen! This is the book to get for all those who are bogged down in the never ending cycle of work, home, extra murals, not knowing even what to shop for half the time, tired and bored with food and no new thoughts on getting your family back on track and eating the way you should be eating. I have two kids, I work, I run a business, my schedule is never ending and I’m really out of food thoughts. This book has been so refreshing in its non-judgemental and realistic approach to improving your lifestyle and eating habits and getting into a routine and situation that just works! What I would suggest is that if you’re looking for recipes as well, to also go ahead and buy a link of matter-of-fact kid friendly cook books to draw inspiration from. Go for something that is simple and doesn’t require any drawn out preparations – just something to grab and go and cook up in less than an hour. There are some really fantastic recipes in Feeding the Kids, but I feel that more is more and only serve to add to the variety, making life even simpler! Meal plotting although it can take some time initially is also something to really go for! Buy yourself a journal and spend some time – even over the period of a week or so, preparing a month or even two weeks worth of menus. This way you can photocopy and paste recipes into the journal and have everything you need on hand when you go shopping and are ready to cook. With two weeks worth of recipes and meals you just recycle when you get to the end of it and probably go several months that way too! I found books like sneaky chef and deceptively tasty to be a waste of time and energy – get your kids into the real deal! Quite honestly I reckon they probably gain more from V8 or fresh smoothies made from real fresh fruit that hasn’t been cooked up to hell and gone, pureed and then recooked – probably leaving all the nutrients behind anyway!
