Metabolic screening is indicated and a weight reduction program is recommended. Please discuss with your Pediatrician. A healthy diet includes 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, lean protein sources, and avoid junk food, soda and sugary snacks. Avoid fried foods and use olive oil for cooking. Exercise daily if there are no contraindications. It is important to rule out other causes.
