[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quietly overhaul your pantry to remove carbs or snack of every kind, and make sure to have lots and lots of fruit across your counters. It’s a trick I learned from my Mom- middle schoolers and teenagers are hungry for “sugar” and this is a way to fill that void and have her fill up on much healthier options.  And don’t restrict that - I would eat 4 oranges sometimes as a teen and middle schooler. Brothers would sometimes eat half of a grape bowl.  Nobody is chubby as adults except for one much younger sibling that didn’t get this. [/quote]
Surely you don't mean that OP should forbid her 10 year old dd all carbs?! Plenty of carbs are healthy and good for you and if she messes up her metabolism by restricting calories now, how will her child ever avoid obesity later in life? I am not a chubby adult and I was somewhat chubby as a 10 year old(not really, nobody was chubby that long ago, people thought if you had 4lbs more in 70s and 80s that you were chubby), and by 16 I had not an extra 1 lbs on me. I was around 100lbs after I got my period one summer and grew a bit. OP, don't listen to waif ocd pps here. Healthy relationship with food is important, lots of veggies, healthy grains and some meat, Mediterranean diet type, is still he best diet for kids and adults. I am not heavy now, and I can be critical of parents with obese kids, I admit it, I am not perfect, I judge sometimes when I see a very, very heavy kid, I judge parents, but come on, don't talk to nuts dcum about it, see a Dr for your child, don't listen to skinny dcum biatches. Carbs are perfectly good food and much needed fuel for humans, if done right. [/quote]
