I'm from Dundee, Scotland. To give you an idea of location, we're 20miles across the river Tay from St Andrews and 60 miles north of Edinburgh.
Where are you from?
My 14year old tends to put a bit of weight on quite quickly, and thankfully loses it again just as quick. To encourage him to try healthy eating i let him re- do dishes he's made in home-ec at school. He hates the class but loves to cook it at home, adapting it to be healthy. it can be fun and makes him feel very proud. He even has to present the meal chef style.
Sometimes I just cant be bothered, and those are the days my son will do his "Italian pasta" It's a very basic tomato and veg sauce and it's lovely, healthy (if i can get to the grated cheddar before he does) and it's his recipe.
My older boys are chefs too.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the site Ladyehawk.
All the best
