How should pediatric obesity that dislikes vegetables be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 2 years old. In this year, I have observed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children's, and he eats more than average children do. I call him to exercise, but he is unwilling. I would like to ask: How should I treat child obesity who dislikes vegetables?

Doctor's answer:

If a child is overweight, they can alleviate symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. They can start by doing aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, or swimming, and should eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Additionally, it’s important not to let the child lie down motionless after meals. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor the child’s condition. If the situation is severe, medical treatment should be guided by a doctor, and there should be no blind treatment.
