Childhood obesity: Diet, nutrition helps kids lose weight without drugs, surgery

Childhood obesity: those are terrifying words. Most people are used to seeing obese adults. But overweight kids are more worrisome: for parents, healthcare professionals, and the nation at large. Because more children are getting fatter--not just baby fat fatter--the weight they are gaining won't come off in puberty. These overweight kids are tomorrow's morbidly obese adults. And more obesity means more healthcare costs (weight related problems account for the largest piece of insurance and health care spending). But childhood obesity is treatable with diet. Good nutrition helps kids lose weight without drugs or surgery. Did that stop you in your tracks--anti-obesity drugs and bariatric surgery for children? It should shock but consider this, drugs and surgery are the logical outcome if those overweight children can't or won't lose weight and carry that fat into adulthood.  Childhood obesity: Diet, nutrition helps kids lose weight without drugs, surgery | Examiner.com
