Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to consult about childhood obesity. My son is 11 years old and weighs 112 pounds, with a height of less than 150 cm. Is he very fat? Mainly, his stomach is big, just like adults who get fat from drinking beer. What should I do about this?Doctor's answer:
This child is overweight; they should be considered obese. For children like this, dietary control and appropriate exercise are essential. Fasting is not allowed. High-calorie foods should be minimized as much as possible, while foods rich in protein and vitamins should be consumed correctly. Daily calorie expenditure must be greater than calorie intake. In the long run, weight will definitely decrease. Shut up, lift your legs. Nutrition is still sufficient.
