How should a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables be treated properly?

Patient's question:

Boys, just 8 years old, this year, discovered that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. Even when asked to exercise, he doesn't want to. Please ask: How should children with obesity and a dislike for vegetables be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If a child has obesity, parents should change the current situation through exercise and dietary adjustments. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child's tolerance, and eat more vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers. The child should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. If the child likes to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this bad behavior. During the treatment period, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition, and in severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor. Do not treat blindly.
