[quote=Anonymous]My daughter also gained a lot of weight around the same time. She’s always been a more muscular build, very tall and loves food. Our family members verbally expressed their disagreement about our approach, but we did tell her that eating too much food is not healthy and pulled her back from overeating when we noticed her doing it along with the weight gain. We repeat the following strategies: - move your body a lot every day - demonstrate small portions and only 1 serving - prioritize protein, veggies and fruit over bread, pasta. - fruit or veggie sticks only for snack and more waiting between meals. - at dinner, we focus on veggie/salad first. - also we cook very healthy foods that she doesn’t always like so she will eat a lot less then - we don’t offer an alternative She has evened out a lot lately and is much healthier.
