Your sister s only 10!!!! She shouldn t even be thinking of weight loss, she s a kid!!
Don t think about it in terms in weight loss. 10 is too young to be worried about that, plus she s getting ready to start puberty soon, which means that she ll be growing and possibly just growing into her weight. If she s gotten overweight by living an unhealthy lifestyle, then it certainly won t hurt to think about ways to improve her health.Just like adults, she should be eating a lot of fruit, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains. She can eat a little junk once in a while, but the majority of her diet should be healthy. She should drink mostly water or juice.She should be exercising most days, but it should always be with something fun. You should never force her to work out. She should be playing outside with you, her friends, neighbors, etc. It would be good to get her into some structured sport, but it should always be her choice. If she s forced to do it, it s going to put too much emphasis on her weight and she won t want to keep it up.
First off, remember support and encouragement are very important. And if you really want her to loose weight quickly don t be pushy, because that can get annoying sometimes. Anyways, try going for walks with her.Maybe she should get involved in some school club, to get her mind off of whatever she usually does that might be too much watching tv, over-eating,or on the computer.And go to bed early or around 9 for her.Let it be a regular basis that she has a bedtime, and a good diet that include whole grains, natural foods, non-sugary cereal, and no artificial, preservative type of food.I hope I helped!:)
It s really sweet that you re concerned with your sister s health and weight problem. It is best to solve this issue now while she is young rather than having her battle this all of her life. You should take this opportunity to get into an exercise routine with her. Go for a walk with her every day or maybe a run! Perhaps you two could take a dance class or something. Encourage her to be active! Get her into sports if she s interested at all.
go outside with each other and play. it is good of you thinking of your sisters health but don t be mean to her because of it. try getting her to play games with you like capture the flag or Frisbee golf or something. good luck
10 year old girls should not be losing weight but the key to losing weight with anyone is taking in about 500 less calories than recommended and exercising as hard as you can
DO NOT make her diet... she should play outside, ride bikes and her parents should give her fruit and veggies instead of fatty snacks....
make her eat veg.and start doing some excersice..
eat balanced meals with no junk food ( NO DIETING NO NO NO ) join a sport club ! and have fun !
