[quote=Anonymous]You don't use the word "diet" as in weight loss. What does his doctor say? That would be my first step. I was concerned with my ds's weight around that age. The doctor wasn't. As long as they are eating an overall healthy diet and staying active weight should even itself out. She said not to limit healthy foods. (Within reason of course) Eat leaner sources of protein a few times/week. Make sure he's eating well balanced meals so his body is getting what it needs. The one thing she stressed was to limit pop and juice, drink more water and make sure the activity level stays up especially in the winter when a lot of people are inclined to be less active. She said he would hit a growth spurt and even things out, and he did that.[/quote]
