                                        Are we in denial about our overweight children



I was sitting eating my lunch and the lunchtime news had started, I like to keep up with the news. They covered a story about childhood obesity and how parents are failing to notice the signs and take action at preventing it developing in to adult obesity. I have been concerned for a number of months about my 8yr olds weight, but I keep getting told he will grow out of it and he will be fine, and not to stress about it. I am worried though! I can see he is clearly putting weight on around his belly area. He doesn't get sweets or crisps everyday, so it must be something else in his diet that's not helping. Then you think to yourself, if I take him to the doctors they will think I am overreacting and wasting their time. But what if it's the sign off things to come, who do you approach about these issues. They keep going on about obesity, but where in the NHS can you go to get your child checked over without making an appointment at the GP, there are no clear guidelines or clinics that I have heard off. Surely prevention is the way forward!

here is some interesting research I found.

                                                           homemade fizzy lemonade


                                            I got up to a beautiful sunny day this morning.
                                                     It made me think off all things bright
                                 and yellow like, daffodils, fluffy chicks(Easter's coming!)
                                                          eggs, had some for breakfast.

 
                                          And of course these lovely bright citrus fruits
 
So I got out the citrus  juicer, sparkling water and my trusty stevia liquid.
   and made fresh fizzy lemonade.
                                            


                                               I used two lemons, 600ml sparkling water
                                                         and about 3/4tsp stevia liquid
                                                            Mix it together and enjoy!

                                                                 Fluffy pancakes recipe







                                        The search for a good fluffy pancake recipe is over.
                                                  At last i found it, and so easy to make.


                                   Ingredients

                                   1 1/2 cup of self raising flour
                                   1/4 tsp of baking soda
                                   1 large egg
                                   1 cup of natural yogurt
                                   1/4 cup of milk
                                   3/4 tsp stevia liquid
                                   2 tbls of vegetable oil or melted butter.


                                   Directions 
                               
                                  1: Whisk the flour and baking soda together.
                                 
                                  2: In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, milk, stevia liquid
                                     and the vegetable oil together till little bubbles are forming.
                                 
                                  4: Add the mixture to the flour and blend it well,
                                      the batter will look a bit lumpy, that's fine.

                                  5: Let it sit for 5 minutes.

                                  6: In the meantime you can get your pan ready. heat on a medium high
                                     and brush the pan with a little oil.

                                  7: Drop 1/4 cups of the batter onto the pan. The batter is quite thick,
                                     so i used two spatulas to spread it out from the middle.
                                     When bubbles start to appear on the pancake, flip it over and cook until
                                     golden brown.

                                                      I enjoyed mine with some juicy strawberries
                                                       and a little drizzle of honey and icing sugar.
                                                           My son enjoyed his with a dollop jam.
