How to diagnose and treat pediatric obesity with a meat preference

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 6 years old. Recently for a few weeks, I have observed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children, and her appetite is very large. She doesn't like to go out to play often. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity with a fondness for meat be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start with his exercise and diet. They can first encourage him to engage in aerobic exercises, such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming, and eat more vegetables, like tomatoes, cucumbers, and so on. High-calorie foods like sunflower seeds and hamburgers should not be given to the child. Additionally, the child's habit of disliking exercise must be changed, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the child's condition is severe, parents should promptly take him to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
