[quote=Anonymous]I think the best thing you can do is focus on filling her plate with veggies at every meal. It's a good practice for everyone, not just for overweight people. Include two cups of veggies with every meal. It's going to take work to incorporate that but that effort will pay off. The idea should be to add more food to her plate rather than making her eat less. You don't want to completely eliminate sweets but it's ok to tell kids that there is a limit. 10 treats is way too much for any one, boy or girl, child or adult. Occasions like thanksgiving are ok to let her eat as much as she wants but make sure that you are only allowing that for one meal, not 4-5 days with the excuse that it's Thanksgiving.[/quote]
