[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15 year old son is dieting. He's just over 6'1"and weighs 170 and not overweight but has love handles--I have never commented on them. All of a sudden, he's making salads for dinner and eating lots of lean protein, swimming, lifting weights, doing ab exercises, but given how serious he is, I am starting to get worried he'll take it too far. Maybe it's just boredom and filling time when he's off work, but any advice from other parents if this is normal or when I should worry about body dysmorphia? [/quote]

My almost 16yr. old son is the opposite. He's 6'0" and weights 135 lbs. Doctor said he needs to gain 10lbs.

He is athletic and the doctor suggested to increase his protein consumption.

I've see many of his school friends at the gym and at the soccer/football fields exercising lately. I think it's part of the age.

Could be peer pressure to look better or maybe there is a girl he's trying to look good for?

I would not be worried.
