Weight loss tips for children? -

My 11 year old son weighs 98kg and I have been getting him on the treadmill everyday where he burns 600 calories, but he isn t losing weight! He drinks water and is always hungry. Can anyone help please?

make sure he is eating the right things, letting him burn calories but eat a bag of chips doesn t work. He is a growing child so you can t diet him to the extreme. Have three meals and two snacks. The snacks under 100 calories light maybe yogurt or fruit. Main meals being packed with protein and not with fat. Eggs, Chicken, Salad, Salmon. Light but healthy meals. Keep little to no fatting foods around the house make sure he stays away from items with caffeine. Pack his lunch when he goes to school school lunches have so many empty calories, and instead of shoving him on the treadmill go on a family bike ride or a long walk if you don t make it fun he will never want to lose the weight.

First off Don t buy anything these idiots are trying to sell you here. He needs to eat whole foods, stay away from sweets and treats. The treadmill is probably not enough. Get him on the football pitch, the skateboard, tennis court, basketball court, get his but outdoors runnin and funnin . Although your son needs to shed some weight, he is only eleven. Don t panic but change his habits best as you can.

yes1. less simple carbs2. less sugary fruit juices3. more vegetables and fruit4. more protein foods to keep them lean5. more organized exercise..6. get them more involved in recreational activiites sports

increase whole foods, add new exercises like weights, NO weight lifting does not stunt your growth... actually because it increases key hormones in the enocrine system especially gh he ll actually probably grow more

It might be time to see a doctor. They and nutritionalists are better suited to tell you how to deal with that than random people on the internet.
