Don't lose weight randomly for children with obesity. Learn these treatment methods

Now that living conditions are getting better and better, many parents will leave the good things at home to their children. If children eat too well, they will gain weight, which will easily lead to obesity. At this time, when parents start to help their children lose weight, they will inevitably be impatient for quick results and use inappropriate methods, which will result in many unnecessary side effects and may even lead to a rebound.

Methods/Steps

First, parents and relatives and friends must realize that childhood obesity is a disease that must be treated. Failure to treat it will cause many harms to children.

Second, the parents, grandparents, relatives and friends of obese children, even neighbors, school teachers and kindergarten teachers, all have unified views and consistent words and deeds on the treatment of childhood obesity. Especially when adopting dietary treatment for obese children, we have the same views and actions to jointly help the children overcome the difficulties of weight loss.

Third, parents should do a good job in ideological work for their sick children so that they can cooperate with treatment and consciously control their diet.

Fourth, adhere to dietary treatment and adopt the dietary principles of low calories, low fat, low sugar and high protein. Since obese children have a good appetite and eat a lot, the diet they are given should strictly control the daily calorie intake while ensuring a balance of nutrients. That is to say, the meals that obese children eat every day should contain more vitamins, micronutrients and proteins, but the total calories per day should not be too much.

Fifth, guide obese children to be more active, exercise more, do more housework, sleep less, watch less TV, and rest less. For example, parents should go to bed late and get up early every day. Early in the morning, they should take their children for jogging and exercises, and let their children participate more in cleaning and other housework.

Sixth, conduct regular checkups. For obese children, they should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination before starting home treatment, and go to the hospital for another examination every 1-2 months during treatment so that the effectiveness of home treatment can be monitored in a timely manner and complications can be detected early.
