A member asked:
Would it be safe to put my obese 13-year-old daughter on a diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Giving the correct portion sizes, healthy foods and low to no calorie drinks is very beneficial. Home exercise, sports, swimming and getting more active would also be very helpful. Consult a nutritionist if you need help with correct food choices, portion sizes. I can also offer virtual consult to discuss nutrition option in more detail.
