What should I do if my child is fat?

With the improvement of people's living standards, many children are now overweight. The main reason for this is that they do not control their diet. Eating too much sweets, greasy food, and high-fat food can cause children to be overweight. Many parents will use some weight loss methods for their children to restore their baby's figure. So what should we do if children are overweight?

First, what should we do if our children are overweight? Parents must not choose weight loss methods blindly for their children. They should choose weight loss methods based on the causes of their children's obesity. For obese children with excessive nutrition in their diet, the general method of losing weight is to control the amount of food they eat and exercise, with the purpose of controlling weight gain. In terms of diet, some children are obese due to bad eating habits, such as skipping breakfast, eating a rich dinner and having a midnight snack, playing while eating, eating snacks before meals, etc.

Second, you cannot help your child lose weight blindly. This means that you must first determine whether your child is really obese. Only when the child exceeds the standard height and weight by more than 20% is he/she considered fat, and when it exceeds 50%, it is severely obese and he/she needs to lose weight even more. After confirming obesity, you need to understand the cause of obesity. Only simple obesity can be reduced by weight loss methods, while pathological obesity can only be cured by treating the disease, and then using targeted weight loss methods according to the cause of obesity, which will be more effective. Make a long-term weight loss plan for your child, because simple obesity weight loss is a long-term chronic process that cannot be completed in a short period of time. Only by persisting and taking one step at a time can the ultimate goal be achieved.

What should you do if your child is overweight? When helping children lose weight, parents must not proceed blindly. Giving children diet pills or slimming tea in order to achieve quick results is absolutely prohibited, because children are in the growth and development period. Taking these slimming products will bring harm to children's bodies, such as anorexia, high blood pressure, abnormal thinking, and even affect children's growth and development as well as intelligence.
