Wow, you may have an MD, but you are a serious asshole.  This child has lost 35 pounds.  Clearly the family HAS talked about it, believes it matters, and the child is dieting.  (I disagree that dieting is all about eating less food.  More important is eating the right foods.  [b]No one will keep weight off by starving themselves.  [/b]Another sign that you are really a terrible doctor).  If you are so bad at listening to your patients, if you regard them with such distain, if you don't care about their feelings (I will not pay a doctor to make me feel bad.  It is not a necessary part of medical care and it shuts down necessary communication between the doctor and the patient -- something you clearly don't understand) you really are a crappy doctor, whatever your skills.[/quote]

When your body feels like it is in starvation mode your metabolism will slow down and hang on to calories.  That is why you often see people gaining a lot of weight after dieting and ending up more overweight than when they began.  Portion control is important to dieting but the key to keeping weight off is learning to substitute healthy foods for unhealthy foods and eating when you are hungry (which is to say not when you are full and that you shouldn't ignore actual hunger and starve yourself_.[/quote]
