My two daughters came up with their sugar and cholesterol levels slightly high. Their weight is o.k. and everything else. They are 11 and 9 years old. The pediatrician told me to put them on a diet, but didn't give me any ideas. They've always been picky eaters since they were a year old, specially the youngest one. My older daughter has been modifying her eating habits very well. The younger one is my biggest problem when it comes to nutrition. I'm worried that there are not many options out there. Everything is so "sugary". I wanted to get recommendations, specially for breakfast, of beverages that I can give them to substitute the sugary juices and refreshments. They are good drinkers of water, though, but I don't want them to get bored. I've also read about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, and Stevia is so expensive. Please be considerate and don't make jokes about this. It is serious for me. I'm trying to reach those parents that understand.
