Children with obesity who love meat: How to treat it?

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 4 years old, and this year I noticed that my child is getting fatter. At the same time, he's becoming hungrier recently and doesn't like to go out to play often.
Question: How to treat children's obesity who love to eat meat.

Doctor's answer:

Childhood obesity can first involve setting exercise goals and dietary changes for the child. Parents should supervise the child in engaging in aerobic activities such as jogging and swimming. During this period, the child should be encouraged to eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. The child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Parents should work on addressing the child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If, during the treatment for childhood obesity, parents notice a severe condition in the child, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital for a check-up and targeted treatment.
