Diet and Exercise: There are no magic ways to lose weight at any age. Only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. It is important to make sure that he eats healthy. Make sure that he doesn't drink soda on a regular basis. Encourage him to drink lot of water. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables.Recommend regular physical activity. Cut back on tv and computer game time.
