[quote=Anonymous]My 5-year-old is overweight according to the BMI chart. I know it is hard to believe, but some of us with healthy habits have overweight kids. We do not eat any processed food or any added sugar in our house (except for birthdays, holidays, etc). The kids get 90 minutes of recess at school and we play outside for 1 hour after school each day. The kids are in two organized sports. Two of my kids are a healthy weight and one is over weight according to the charts (he does not look overweight). That child is always hungry and eats more than the others. Not all of us with heavy kids are eating Twinkies all day. I don't know what else to do to keep that child slim.[/quote]
