Hoping 420 lb Mom of Triplets Who Feeds them McDonalds Gets Help Soon
Mother of Triplets, Leanne SaltI hope that due to the publicity of the story by James Tozer this morning on www.dailymail.co.uk about British mother of triplets, Leanne Salt, that nutritional advisors might be able to persuade her to adopt healthier eating habits for her and her babies. The path they are headed down now certainly shocked and worried me upon reading the story.
Leanne, a 24-year-old, weighed 560 pounds (40 stone) at the time she gave birth to her triplets; daughters Deanna and Daisy, and son Finlee, last August. When they were born, it took a team of 68 medical professionals and a specially-built operating table for the C-Section procedure; resulting in a hospital bill of $292,000 (around £200,000). She now weighs 420 pounds (30 stone) and just revealed that she feeds the children junk food, like fish and chips and McDonald's meals. In Tozer's piece, she admits, "They were six months old when they had their first McDonald's. They had chicken nuggets and chips and loved it." Then went onto say, "They like fish and chips too, but I take the batter off the fish, so I guess that's healthy."
Babies at their age should eat around 765 calories a day, but according to Salt, the babies consume approximately 1,249 calories a day, nearly double the recommended amount. She says, "I feed my babies vegetables every Sunday, and a lot of the baby food I give them has fruit in it. The health visitor told me off for giving them Smash because it has too much salt in, but it's difficult to know what to feed them sometimes." It seems that Leanne desperately needs advice and help in learning about healthy nutritional choices, for not only herself but her three little ones. Eating habits are tricky to break and the sooner they adopt a more healthy regime, the better for them all.

wow thats crazy!!!
This does nothing to help defeat the stereotype that all blackmen just love fat white women... Being black, this is embarrassing... ;(
where's Dad I wonder?
"where's Dad I wonder?"
Probably out trying to earn enough to keep everyone fed.
Wow, this is crazy. McD's at 6 months old. I agree, it seems like she really does want help (based on the quotes.) Lets just hope that help comes quick enough to make a difference in those kids future.
This is just the thing that makes me soooo sick! Just think, people just like this actually SUE McDonalds for their children being overweight! What nerve, Oh wait, thats right...McDonalds was the one shovelling the food into the kids 5 days a week...Silly me! I have an almost 6 year old still in a 4T!! She eats at home, McDonalds is a once in a while treat!!
She doesn't seem opposed to any help judging by what she said. She also stated that a "health visitor" was working with her. I think it's making an effort to apply and maintain the changes is where she is having trouble. As cliches go bad habits are hard to break. She's feeding her children the way she is used to feeding herself. She really needs intervention and help before these poor kids start having serious health issues much too soon.
Unless taught, people really have no idea what's healthy. I took all the classes to become a nutrionalist, and although i didn't pursue that path as a career, I still have all the knowledge. The things people will mention to me they are doing to diet astound me sometimes. This is a severe case.
the father and her broke up-they were only together one month which, by the way, happens quite a bit REGARDLESS of what race the guy is. oh and to make things even better, she blames her obesity on a thyroid problem, but currently takes no positive steps to reverse it. she also gets aid from the government (surprise surprise) and spends alot of that on her smoking habit.
"if the babies get fat" she says "ill tell them theyre big and beautiful"
what a shame.
it doesnt take much common sense to know how to eat healthy....ESPECIALLY when youre already over 400lbs!....that should ring a bell that your food choices probably arent healthy...its a no-brainer. So, to all the people who think she (and other people with weight issues) just need "education"- i say, thats not enough....they need some selfesteem. Caring about ones health and the health of ones children is a HEALTHY side-effect of having a healthy attitude. Which she obviously does not have. While she may love her children, she loathes herself and that reciprocates into her parenting. She needs counseling and a new outlook on life, just as any addict of severly self-destructive habits would. Education wont make her care: Only caring will make her care. I really hope her children and all of the children out there subjected to theirs PARENTS low-esteem issues, are able to break the cycle. Hating her and trashing her isnt going to solve anything....early intervention for her children from a loving and understanding position is the best hope to solving these types of social problems. 'Social", because we ALL suffer when this happens in the masses like it is. Lets start pointing people in the right direction instead of pointing fingers.
Wow, there is a serious"" hater up there, I won't mention any names.....
It sickens me how cruel we are to one another, it actually shocks me, I guess if I can still be "shocked" that I am not completely jaded to the hatred among us human beings.
I am hoping that that article is a cry for help. It seems to me that a lot of people, Americans and otherwise have not a clue how to eat healthily, let alone what they allow their children to consume.
Fast Food is a huge evil...too bad it is a way of life for so many....
Did I read correctly that she has already lost more than one hundred lbs? To me, this is a sad case of a woman who needs support. Triplets are a huge job, and she doesn't seem like she has the education and tools that she needs. Compulsive eating can be a form of suicide. I wish I was close, and could give her a hug and take them all out to the park. There is too little compassion in the world, isn't there?
I think this is a cry for attention... and PATHETIC at that! what gave this woman the right to chose an unhealthy life for her children, your supposed to want more for your children than what you have for yourself! FATHER? that poor bastard probably ran due to health reasons!!! lucky guy :D get out whiel you can, but what a prick to not bring those babies with him!
Where is the dad?
@ all those who asked this question.
Um, maybe he is at work or holding the kids while they took the picture of the mom. I do not understand why there is the assumption that the dad is not around. Perhaps it is because those who asked the question assume that the dad is black and therefore they make a racist assumption that the dad is not around.
Referring to the newest trend in the fashion footwear arena, Australian sheepskin boots must be names you
will never omit. Being originated over two hundreds of years ago and worn by pilots in World War I and II,
these shoes experience acid time test. They can stand out on the market and keep a climbing search definitely
because they please most people' s needs.
