Quotes

"When preteens and teenagers skip breakfast, they almost always, and this is in my experience of over 30 years of working with kids, they almost always eat more at the end of the day." - Jill Castle

“We have evidence in teenagers, for instance, that when they eat 30 grams of protein at breakfast, it helps them regulate their appetite for the rest of the day. This is also true in adults, by the way, it helps them regulate their appetite through the rest of the day." - Jill Castle

-
"All parents want to do their best for their children and feed them the best that they can; but I think that there are real obstacles to doing that today." - Jill Castle

-
"We focus a lot on physical health in children, which is very important, but we haven't spent as much time focusing on their emotional wellbeing and actively cultivating that as they're growing up." - Jill Castle

"If you can add a fruit or a vegetable to every meal during the day, that's a huge win. If you can centralize beverages on water first and milk or a non-dairy fortified substitute as your main sources of beverages, that's a win. Like try to stay away from sugary beverages as much as possible.” - Jill Castle
