[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut out any processed foods that have sugar in the ingredient list. Bacon and eggs for breakfast instead of cereal or bagels. Try to limit bread until she’s at a normal weight again: so, instead of sandwiches for lunch, try cold cuts and cheese and fruit and nuts, and make some seeded flax crackers if she wants something crunchy with cheese. Fresh fruit only, no dried fruit. It’s actually really easy for kids to lose weight this way. Granola bars and goldfish crackers and dried fruit are pretty much straight sugar in quantities that some kids will gain very rapidly while eating.[/quote] Just to add — the emphasis in the above is on foods that will trigger satiety. She’s eating “large volumes” as you say because she doesn’t feel full. High fat, moderate protein, low carb foods fill you up more effectively and trigger satiety faster. [/quote]
