My kid 12 years old and over weight we have tried...

 

 

 

Weight may be stabilized for health reasons such as:

 

Iron deficiency

 

Vitamin D deficiency

 

Hormonal dysfunction

 

Thyroid problem

 

Diabetes

 

That's why we recommend medical tests.

 

 

 

Physical inactivity is the biggest cause of weight stability in childhood and adolescence.

 

For this, the child must start exercising at least an hour a day, and we recommend group activities to stimulate.

 

A child of this age cannot follow a diet as his body's energy needs are high, but you should follow a healthy diet with low fats and sugars.

 

Being careful to drink liquids in large quantities is very important.

 

Organizing meals at a rate of 5 meals per day in a moderate amount and a variety of items is very important.

 

 

 

 

 

Lifestyle changes to lose weight for children

 

-Make sure to feed your son a rich and healthy breakfast in the morning consisting, for example, a boiled egg, a small brown loaf of bread, vegetable slices, half a cup of milk, and 3 olives.

 

-Make sure to serve your son snacks among the main meals such as apples, oranges, carrots, or lettuce leaves to prevent him from eating crisps between meals such as chips, chocolates, and more.

 

-Changing the family lifestyle is also the key factor, so the availability of soft drinks at home, for example, and the lack of crisps and sweets in front of or at the child's fingertips, must be prevented.

 

- Provide your child with a light school meal such as a small sandwich consisting of a small loaf of brown bread stuffed with a spoonful of labneh and sliced cucumber.

 

-Talk to your child about the need to follow a healthy pattern to avoid obesity and its health damage.

 

-Use influences around the child, such as brothers, sisters, and family lovers such as grandfather and peers, to help him indirectly follow the above. For example, you can contact his best friend at school by bringing him a home-cooked meal and eating it to encourage his friend as a motivator.

 

-Prevent your child from eating 4 hours before bedtime as you can serve the last family meal 4 hours before bedtime.

 

-Do not use the child's violent or description method as it will lead to negative behavior.

 

-Drink 3 liters of water per day.

 

-Make a portion of every salad and soup meal and start the meal with them while reducing starches.

 

Cook lunch healthily without added fat and make it as light as possible, such as replacing frying with grilling and boiling and avoiding animal fats.
