[quote=Anonymous]Like others have said, the thread on upping fruits and vegetables and getting 90 minutes of physical activity each day is a good one. I would also add that I have a kid who eats too quickly and so doesn’t feel full until he’s already eaten too much. We “cured” this by doing half portions of food (half as much as we think he really needs) with a 16 oz glass of water. He must finish the water before he gets seconds of anything (which are really second halves). The water fills him up a bit plus finishing it slows him down and that alone helped drop him from 85-90%ile BMI to 65-70%ile. He’s a big kid — 99%ile for height too and incredibly dense/solid, but now pediatrician is not concerned. [/quote]
