How can obese children lose weight?

Patient's question:

A 8-year-old girl from Zhejiang, who is obese, how to lose weight? An 8-year-old girl wants to ask Dr. Ke for help to solve what problem: Thank you, doctor, for giving me a quick answer - how to treat and prevent

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended that parents first reduce the proportion of meat, eggs, and milk, and control calorie intake. Secondly, let the child engage in aerobic exercises such as high jump, jump rope, cycling, and swimming to accelerate the burning of body fat. When necessary, you can also increase the child's exercise through activities like running, brisk walking, chicken catching, and other competitions or games.
The way children lose weight is different from adults. While reducing fat, children must also ensure their physical and intellectual development, meaning their bodies are both "reduced" and "increased." Therefore, children should not use starvation therapy: they should not use weight-loss medications; they should not use weight-loss methods or inappropriate rapid weight loss. It can be seen that exercise is most suitable for children's weight loss.
