[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell it like it is: son, your belly is huge. It's unhealthy, unsightly. Do something about it. First, diet. Have a good diet, not one of those silly fad diets, i.e., non gluten, etc.[/quote] What kind of advice is this? NO. You absolutely do NOT put a preteen/teen boy on a diet, unless your doctor is telling you too due to obesity. A pot belly is not an issue for a boy (or girl) of this age. A pot belly indicates the beginnings of puberty and major growth spurts. Let the kid eat. He needs lots of calories right now. Keep him active. Don't let him spend all day on his bum. He will shoot up and stretch out sometime in the next year or so. Ignore the diet idiots.[/quote]
