[quote=Anonymous]I have a 9 year old son who I can tell is going to have a tendency to gain weight while his younger brother is lean. obesity runs in our family so I am trying to stay on top of it. So we start off with smaller first servings then if he wants seconds it is another small serving. If he has pizza we cut the pizza into smaller slices so he is eating more slices but less pizza. And if he has eaten a reasonable amount he doesn't get more of the main course, he can eat unsweetened Apple sauce, a banana, grapes or strawberries - all of which he really likes but won't eat if he really full. And we keep him really active.[/quote]
