How should obesity in children who love meat be treated?

Patient's question:

My male baby, who is 1 year old this year, recently feels that he is getting fatter. At the same time, he eats more food than average children and doesn't like to exercise. How should obesity and a meat-loving child be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If you discover that your child has childhood obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's capacity, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach, carrots, etc. Foods with high calories, such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should not be given to the child. Additionally, help the child break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
