[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before you jump to medication and if your child is interested, find a dietitian to evaluate her. They will want her to keep a food log and that will probably highlight the high caloric food choices or serving size. [/quote]

We have actually seen a nutritionist and she did not want a young teen logging her food.

As for the PP and calories in/calories out - for sure she eats too much. She’s hungry all the time and can’t stop herself.  Thus the jump to medication. [/quote]
Here is an unpleasant fact about adipose cells, once you have become obese they stop storing more fat inside and divide, sending out more hungry hormones (they don't know there are too many of them). You have to starve them to death and you cannot do that without some degree of hunger, and you will be prone to regain the wait for years until the excess adipose cells die off [/quote]

How many years does it take for them to die? [/quote]
From memory 7 years for them all do die off, so 3.5 years half of them will be gone

It is so much better to not get fat in the first place [/quote]
