How to solve childhood obesity

Patient's question:

How to solve child obesity? Children love to eat and often can't control themselves, sneaking and hiding to eat. Their stomachs grow especially large. How can she lose weight? The family diet is already quite light and portion control has been implemented. She currently weighs 80 pounds.

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: Mainly control children's diet, eat reasonably, do not drink alcohol, and avoid fried foods. Suggestions and Opinions: It is recommended that children exercise more, at least one to two hours a day, and they must persist in exercising. They should also eat less oil and fat, and more fruits and vegetables. I think we should return to normal after a period of time. In terms of dietary therapy, parents must be involved and are required to master some relevant knowledge, such as not allowing children to eat too much or too little, not providing high-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie diets. Treating children with dietary restrictions and letting them starve is also difficult. Therefore, before implementing dietary control, it is necessary to patiently and detailedly explain the dangers of obesity to children.
