Can Kids Do Intermittent Fasting – Dr. Berg On Kids Diet

Hey .

I had another question .

Can kids do intermittent fasting ?

Very good question .

Absolutely .

In fact , they should , especially if they're overweight .

Okay .

If you wanna help a child lose weight , intermittent fasting is the most powerful thing .

The problem is you have to get their agreement because sometimes it's difficult .

A lot of kids love to snack and they have they just cannot snack .

I would start with 3 meals a day and at the meal you're gonna have to make some really good keto bombs or cookies .

I'll put some links down below .

And that way they're not gonna be hungry or craving .

Now if you could eventually go to 2 meals a day , that would be incredible .

But just make sure those meals are really nutrient dense .

It's not about calories .

It's about nutrient dense .

So they're gonna have to be do large salads , do the the kale shake with fruit , things like that .

With a little bit of berries .

I'm sorry .

Not fruit .

So you start off with 3 meals , no snacks , then go down the 2 meal .

I would not do one meal unless the child is really really overweight .

So on top of that , I'm gonna recommend you supplement because a lot of teenagers just don't consume the balance of nutrients that they need .

Now what if the child's not overweight and they're in the sports and they're thin ?

What do you do ?

I would still recommend this .

I would do 3 meals a day , but I would probably add some starch because if you don't , their metabolism is so fast , they're gonna just get too thin .

And I'm talking about adding a red potato , yam with butter , wild rice , beans , sprouted bread .

It's called Ezekiel bread .

And I think you actually have a very healthy child .

Okay .

Thanks for watching .
