Question

A 7.5-year-old child weighing 37 kilograms has a preference for fried foods, meats, and cold drinks, showing no interest in vegetables, and lacks physical activity. The current dietary habits are difficult to control, and online research confirms severe obesity with no treatment records. How should weight loss be approached?

Answer

It is recommended to gradually reduce the intake of meats, eggs, and milk, and opt for light cooking methods such as boiling, braising, steaming, or cold dressing. Encourage the child to engage in active sports daily, such as jogging, skipping rope, frog jumps, swimming, etc., to accelerate fat consumption. At the same time, while reducing food intake, ensure sufficient water intake to enhance the weight loss effect.
