hi everyone, my daughter is 8yrs and weighs about 112lbs. i don't let her pig out on junk food but does eat some. she's a very outgoing child she likes to go for walks, ride her bike, swim, rollerblade and do just about anything that sounds like fun. we eat as healthy as possible. she likes fruit,vegetables,yogurt,lowfat pudding,sugerfree jello, etc, ect... so we eat a lot of good things. except for white bread, white rice, noodles, and loves mashed potatoes. i know that thoughs are not the best choices. i would like her to learn to try other breads so i don't have to buy white bread. does anyone have any ideas that might be helpful? thanks.

Instead of cooking with salt, I am using the Morton lite salt. I have substituted Splenda for sugar and she is intaking more water and fresh fruits and veggie. Absolutely no softdrinks. There is a flavored carbonated water Crystal Bay that she has substituted. You will be amazed at the difference.
