[QUOTE="katya02, post: 207988, member: 2884"] I wish I had the answer. We've struggled with difficult child eating obsessively when younger and on medications - and becoming seriously obese. When he went off the medications at 14 (age of medical consent in Canada for mental health) he lost all the weight. When he came home in May after doing drugs all semester he was as thin as a rail. Now he's gained more than 30 lb after being on medications all summer. He obsesses over carbs, eats way too many. We're a pretty low-carb household (no sugar, no white flour, little flour at all, no rice, potatoes etc.) but he 'needs' his huge bowls of cereal. And his counselor, who is otherwise great, tells him he 'needs' a carb load at night. She's wrong, but it's what he wants to hear. Sigh. I like the no vitamin-no ride, no fruit-no activity thing for slightly younger kids. Don't think I can work that one with difficult child, who's 20. But I hate to see him do this to himself. [/QUOTE]
