Can obesity in a child be reversed?

My daughter is obese. Can obesity in a child be reversed?

1 Answer

Yes, but only with healthy eating, proper activity level, and consistent monitoring that will need to be lifelong. We can't change our genetics, but we can change what we put into our body and build the confidence that comes from feeling and being healthy. I recommend establishing with a good bariatric physician in your area, eat healthy food rich in protein, significantly reduce carbohydrate intake and develop a plan to set your child's future up to be healthy and happy.
