Child diet: THe best DIET is one that involves portion control, that stresses healthy choices such as fresh fruits and vegetables over chips and cookies. It should also emphasize water over calorie drinks which are an empty source of sugar. Some children lose weight by just avoiding sugar drinks. Also try to avoid processed sugar in the diet. Read labels and choose high fiber options- they make you feel full
