Default A Danish program to tackle childhood obesity

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29755469

It would probably work for adults as well.

The child's doctor creates a tailored plan with 15-20 strategies, which
could include:

1 - No crunchy muesli or fruit yoghurts for breakfast - choosing
oatmeal, dark brown bread, meat and fish instead

2 - No fast food or white bread for lunch; choose brown bread, meat,
fish and vegetables instead

3 - Portions served up in the kitchen - no pots and pans at the dining table

4 - Plate proportions for dinner should be: half vegetables, a quarter
brown rice, pasta or potatoes, and a quarter low fat fish or meat

5 - Wait 20 minutes before having second helpings - this allows time for
the body to feel full

6 - Feel satisfied after each meal

7 - Only two pieces of fruit per day

8 - Fast food only once a month

9 - Sweets only once a week

10 - Snack only once a week

11 - Limit juice, iced tea, cocoa, soda or lemonade to once weekly -
only half a litre in total

12 - Cycle or walk to school

13 - Organised physical activity eg dancing, handball or gymnastics

14 - Free physical activities like walking/biking after school, walking
the dog or trampolining

15 - Screen time (television, computer or tablet) limited to two hours
per day

16 - No television/computer access until 5pm

17 - Set a regular, early bedtime

Should work for anyone if you follow it. The trick is to get people to
follow it when there is a big apple pie on the counter and a gallon of
ice cream in the freezer.

My market sells two gallon tubs of store brand ice cream in rectangular
shape with a handle. The shape makes it easier to fit in the freezer. And
the frozen desert section is bigger than the produce section.

I experimented a lot with ice cream recipes, because I was never happy wit the texture. I found that adding egg yolks and skim milk powder makes a nicer texture.

I can't recalll who the pundit was, but there's a saying I've heard that
has stuck with me: The only time you should ask a child what he wants to
eat is when you're in a restaurant...

It doesn;t say that in the Danish diet, I'll bet. The Danes call
anything other than the thin chewy very dark rye bread "french"
bread. They only serve "french" bread with the cheese course.

Smoked salmon (and gravad laks) and shrimps are best on french bread, too.

I take issue with iced tea on that list as it seems to presume sweetened
iced tea, and I've been drinking unsweenened iced tea (and unsweetened
coffee) since I was about 5.

This one would be a definite problem for many adults. If I limited
screen time to two hours a day I'd be out of a job, which I suppose
would cut my caloric intake, but not in a good way.

I don't like tea but I have two large mugs of potent coffee every
morning, black no sugar. I can't remember the last time I spooned
white sugar on anything. Perhaps twice a year I'll have a bowl of
cereal with honey.

I think the problem is that so many people now consider iced tea to be
that retched stuff sold in cans, not home brewed tea that has been
cooled. The commercial stuff is very sweet. I never did use much sugar
in tea and started drinking it black when I was about 20. Any amount of
sugar makes it too sweet for me, but that stuff in cans ghastly sweet.

A lot of people park themselves in front of the TV and get no exercise
at all.

I think they are talking about supermarket industrial ice tea (e.g. Nestle) which in DK only comes sweetened.

Note it is Denmark and their idea of breakfast is different to ours.
If you travel in mainland Europe, the contents of the breakfast buffet
are totally different to ours and the UK.

I enjoyed breakfast buffets at several different Danish hotels and they
were all very bounteous. There were cold cereals, yoghurt, scrambled
eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, liver pate, a variety of cheeses
and cold cuts, breads, rolls sweet rolls, pastries and Vienbrot. They
also had fish. A nice breakfast in our hotel in Lubeck, Germany had a
similar variety, and in addition to herring they had gravlox.

I've had breakfast in Solvang, CA... their breakfast consists mostly
of rich pastry.

Not only that but here the homework can easily exceed 2 hours per day and it
is often done online. Plus computers are used at school. So that's
unreasonable.

time. It works that way.

Ha! On a school day, most kids here wouldn't even have 2 hours to waste on
fun things.

dance class.

I never did. Not only did I have after school activities at the school like
sports, drama, choir, orchestra, pep club, candle making club, etc., but I
did dance, swimming, scouts, and when older I had a job. I got mostly A's.

This talk of fish for breakfast prompted me to crack open a couple of these.
