[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child psychiatrists at our hospital have started looking at behavioral interventions for kids who are overweight as well (we give a lot of drugs that cause weight gain). They were looking at younger kids, but they found exactly the same thing. Food restrictions didn’t work at all. Therapy and cognitive interventions for kids and parents didn’t work. Teaching parents new, healthy recipes didn’t work. The only thing that worked was adding more fruits and veggies and increased exercise. [/quote] I thought - and I say this is someone who exercises a ton, so I wish it weren’t the case – that exercise has been proven to not make much of a difference when it comes to weight. As in, it’s all about diet. Is that not the same for kids? Asking seriously.[/quote]
