Suggest increasing her activities such as sports dancing to help the weight decrease. Limit time in front of the TV/DVD or non-active-video games. There have been studies showing the longer the length of time a child sit in front of the TV the greater the weight gain. Suggest avoid all high sugar drinks/snacks and try replacing with low fat milk/yogurt or fruit/popcorn. Additional suggestions: cook only low fat meats (chicken fish loin of pork) or non-meat sources (soy products nuts) low fat vegetarian combinations (rice & beans pasta & beans low fat cheese & pasta) fat free or low fat dairy products (skim milk 1% milk low fat cheese low fat yogurts low fat soy milk/yogurt) use plant oils non trans-fat margarines and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal. Have her help you cook simple healthy foods so she learns how to eat right and weight maintenance is a way of life so she has fun.
