Suggest Treatment For My Kids Over Weight

Hi my name is Jessica. My daughter is 3 years old and is overweight but is very active, i mean she is running/walking around outside constantly from at least 10 in the morning to 8 or 9 at night and I just don't understand what could be wrong with her.

hi,

thanks for your question. if your child is getting appropriate levels of activity and remains overweight then the only way to reduce her weight would be a lower calorie diet. you should focus on avoiding simple carbohydrates such as foods with a high sugar content including drinks (fruit juice etc).

I hope this answers you question.

best wishes
