These programs provide a more comprehensive review of childhood obesity prevention by utilizing alternative parameters and different locations. All three of these programs were successful in meeting their goals and can be accessed through the “References” page at the end of this packet. The first program is MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it). This is a significant program because of its high popularity and success, the emphasis on the family involvement aspect of childhood development, and since the subject count for the study is much lower in comparison to the other two programs listed below.

The action stage is when the child has made overt, realistic behavior modifications, such as working out on a more consistent basis and cutting down portions of food per meal, for fewer than six months. In the maintenance stage, the child works to prevent relapse and consolidate gains secured during the action stage. Finally, in the termination stage, the child no longer gives into temptation and has total self-efficacy, no matter what the stressor. (McKenzie,
