Welcome to Healthy Parents=Healthy Families, brought to you by HalfSizeMe.  I am your host, Heather Robertson, and I’m here to help the parents of children who struggle with their weight because I know what it feels like to be that child. I’ve also mentored hundreds of adults struggling with their own weight and I have learned that eating restrictions are not the answer. Today, my guest is Dr. Chavez. He specializes in coaching fathers in nutrition. Today he’s teaching us about the importance of: Making physical activity fun Avoiding restrictions and calorie deficits Including single servings of fun food Recognizing that genetics affect the extent to which food feels like a reward You’ll also want to listen in to hear how to get your spouse on the same page.
