Question
What should be considered in the diet of a child with obesity? Is it suitable to eat fries?
Answer
The formation of childhood obesity is often due to improper dietary habits and insufficient physical activity. Therefore, in addition to daily exercise, the diet should follow principles of low-fat, low-sugar, less oil, and less starchy foods, with vegetables making up 70% of each meal. Meals should be eaten to about 70% fullness. Fruit intake should be moderate, and fried and greasy foods should be avoided. It’s important to avoid prolonged sitting and excessive sleep time. Exercise should be scheduled within two hours after meals and should be consistent to help improve obesity.
