WELCOME TO FUN FITNESS AND FOOD FOR LIFE
Your Child & Adolescent's Healthy Lifestyle Education & Wellness Center
"MAKING HEALTHY KIDS INTO HEALTHY ADULTS."
|
At One Potato Two Tomato We are making healthy kids into healthy adults with our nutrition education, fitness, weight management, healthy meal plans, cooking class programs and services! Most kids just don't eat well-balanced nutritious meals and exercise enough everyday. No matter what shape, size or weight your child or adolescent maybe, we can educate & empower them to adopt long-lasting healthy lifestyle habits and behaviors in eating and exercise. |
We believe that "the difference between adults and kids is simply that, and we treat them as such." Unlike other adult and adult modified weight loss methods being used for child & adolescent weight management programs and services that rely on systems such as adding up numbers, color-coding foods, single-nutrient focused fad diet plans, sedentary computer-based online food data entry, medical or nutritional supplementation & other quick-fix methods, we do not. Here, at One Potato Two Tomato, we offer a wide variety of unique age-appropriate small group & individual weight management & healthy lifestyle, obesity treatment & prevention services for children and adolescents eight months to nineteen years of age. More importantly, our main focus lies in preventing overweight conditions sooner in life than later, as well as all types of nutrition related deficiencies & early onset diseases due to an improper balance of eating & activity behaviors.
Whether it be among some of the common diagnosis in youth today such as... exogenous or endogenous obesity, Iron deficiency anemia, type II diabetes, hypo or hyperglycemia, distorted eating behaviors, malnutrition, stunted-growth and development & other macro &/or micro nutrient deficiencies, our professional healthcare team of Pediatric/Adolescent, Adult Registered Dietitians, Nutrition & Physical Education Teachers, Certified Youth Fitness Trainers and Family Therapists can empower parents & youth with the educational training, skills & knowledge needed for understanding the actual science behind getting proper nutrition, making healthier choices, increasing physical activity, modifying poor health habit behaviors and adopting a healthy lifestyle and how to live one.

Kids Winter Nutrition Tip
Cold Weather, Hot Drinks & Warm Tummies: Avoid artificial sweeteners, keep it natural & make'em nutrient-rich. Instead of using a whole packet of sugary hot chocolate mix in 8.oz's of hot water, try 8.oz's of warm, hot or steamed skim milk "latte-style" with just 1-2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup or mix-in 1/2 the hot cocoa mix packet that you normally would, at home or school to help meet your daily calcium needs, while reducing the amount calories and gradually weaning your palate away from simple sugar.
For example; If you were to drink 1 cup of hot chocolate per day, prepared as recommended above, for 3 winter months, you would save approximately 195 teaspoons of sugar (15 calories a teaspoon) & 2,925 calories! Given the fact that their are 3500 calories in one pound and on average, a child or adolescent may consume 30-40 teaspoons of simple sugar in a day, it's a good start & big savings for just a small change. Enjoy!
