With many American children overweight and obese, Smart for Life's new THIN ADVENTURE(TM) Children's Weight Loss Program introduces an affordable 30-day weight-loss program designed for children between the ages of 6 and 14. It will be available at http://www.smartforlife.com and other affiliated retailers in January 2010.
The program was designed by Dr. Sasson Moulavi (Dr. Sass), a bariatric physician with over 20 years experience: "The program took a long time to develop because we wanted to prepare healthy foods that will be accepted by kids as a tastier and cooler alternative to junk food they are eating now."
The program consists of a variety of choices including cupcakes, cookies, cereals, soups, shakes, hot cocoa and more. These are not the typical snacks parents think of when trying to feed children healthy foods. Instead, they are higher in protein and fiber and lower in sugar and fats. Because of the unique food technology and all-natural ingredients, THIN ADVENTURE(TM) products taste great while suppressing the appetite, without drugs or stimulants, longer than regular food.
In addition to THIN ADVENTURE(TM) products, the program includes fresh foods from the recommended USDA Food Groups in age-appropriate servings. Children will eat lean protein, fruits, and vegetables, and drink milk along with their nutrition-packed THIN ADVENTURE(TM) foods.
To motivate kids to continue on their journey, THIN ADVENTURE(TM) has created an interactive children's website packed with information, nutrition-related games, recipes and more.
The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Health and Human Services continue to urge food companies to develop products that are more nutritious as well as to review and revise their marketing practices. According to the Center for Disease Control, 16% of American children - over 9 million - are obese. THIN ADVENTURE(TM) has stood up to the challenge with tools to aid in combating obesity in North America.
Smart for Life's THIN ADVENTURE(TM) is certain to make an impact on the Obesity Epidemic with this innovative and effective healthy lifestyle program.
