[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Limiting food leads to obsession with it. Bottom line.[/quote] i understand that. [b]my question is what else?[/b][/quote] Adolescence. An 11 year old boy is storing up for his growth spurt. Usually you see a jump in appetite before you start seeing the other symptoms. Are you sure he's not eating a typical amount for a boy on the cusp of puberty (e.g. about twice what a typical adult would eat)? [/quote] There is no other "else." leave him alone and let him eat when he wants to. Teach him WHAT to eat, and how to [b]eat in proportion to his activity level[/b]. THAT's IT.[/quote] but he is also "storing up for his growth spurt" so how do you proportion that level?[/quote]
