Dear Karen,
Dear Karen, Do you have any tips for getting the kids – and us parents – to improve our diet and activity level? We need help! Regards, Monica Brown.
Dear Karen, I want to do more exercise and wondered what’s involved in a fitness and health evaluation, and are they important? Do you think a medically supervised assessment is needed? Regards, Bronwyn.
Hi Karen. I'd love your advice on the best approach to help get my young kids (3 and 5) to eat a wide variety of healthy foods without sounding like a preacher or having to bribe them all the time? Thanks, Fleur.
Dear Karen, Can you tell me how much calcium my family and I need, and what should we eat to ensure we get enough? Regards, Maureen.
Hi Karen, I’m 14 years old and way overweight. Even though it doesn't show that much I’m still very unhappy with my appearance. So I made a promise to myself that I would lose weight. I have been on the diet for about 1 week but I’m struggling to keep my promise. Can you help? - Danielle.
Hi Karen, I’m a primary school teacher and have found that an increasing number of parents are informing our school of their child’s allergies. How common are food allergies in children and what are the most common types? - Tracey
Hi Karen, I know that iron deficiency is common in women and was wondering when supplements are recommended? Many thanks, Margaret.
Hi Karen. I think I have a problem called bingeing. When I go on a diet the first week or so I’m fine, but then all of a sudden I click and I have to have copious amounts of chocolate, biscuits etc and I have to eat until all the packets are finished. I don’t think it’s the food or the amount of food that I’m eating on the diets but perhaps being on a diet and restricting myself. I don’t know what to do to help myself. How can I stop the binges and lose weight? - Robin
