[quote=Anonymous]It's much easier to control weight by limiting calories than it is to "exercise away" fat. Activity is important, of course, but teaching him to eat appropriate portions of the right foods is better. OP, talk to your child's doctor and see if you can work with a nutritionist. If your child is always hungry the nutritionist can give you ideas about different foods that will help him feel satisfied longer. There is no need to discuss weight with him, really. If you get his diet under control he will grow into the excess weight.[/quote]
