THINADVENTURE™: Helping Kids Live Healthy Lives

I am so excited to announce our brand new kids program!

THINADVENTURE™ Foods were created to introduce kids to healthy, tasty, quick and easy choices instead of fast food and poor nutrition. Kids aged 5-14 may use these delicious products as healthy snacks or meal replacements that the whole family can enjoy.

THINADVENTURE™ weight loss plan results in the safest and healthiest weight loss possible with an emphasis on hunger control. Our tasty and healthy Smart Meals supply a combination of natural hunger suppression (so you don't feel hungry) and required nutrition in convenient, tasty foods.

This is such an important step for our youth! According to the CDC, "the prevalence of obesity among children aged 6 to 11 more than doubled in the past 20 years." Obese youth are also more at risk for a variety of health problems, including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, bone and join problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems including stigmatization and poor self esteem.

Young people who are obese are also much more likely than healthy-weight children to become obese and overweight adults, putting them more at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.[1]

With the American Obesity Association finding that about 30% of children (6-11) and adolescents (12-19) are overweight and 15% are obese[2], it is clear that childhood obesity is a major concern.

THINADVENTURE™ was created to help end this problem and hopefully stop this generation from having a shorter life expectancy than the last! Unlike our program for adults, this is not a weight loss program, although some children may lose weight. Others may simple stop gaining weight and grow into the weight that they are at.

The goal is to teach kids a new lifestyle. We teach them to eat multiple, small meals throughout the day, chose from healthy food groups, and to add more excercise.

In addition, vitamins and supplements should be used in order to ensure good nutrition and effective weight loss.

Eating Habits will consist of:

• 3-6 Smart Cookes per day, or equivalent in other Smart products, depending on age.
• A specified lunch and dinner (4-12 ounces total of protein with vegetables, depending on age)
• Adequate fluids (48-64 ounces; 6-8 eight ounce glasses) Drink at least 48-64 fluid ounces per day depending on age. Water is preferred!

Our youth are our future and we have got to take care of them! I can't tell you how much I wish I'd been able to change my eating habits when I was younger, instead of waiting.

It is so much harder to change habits when we are older--if you know a child who could benefit from this program please talk to them or to their parent or guardian.
