[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 531895, member: 6546"] sj-- I understand that he is overweight....but 12 seems like a weird age for a boy to start a diet. Their hormones are surging...their appetites are out-of-control...they are building their adult bodies - putting on muscle and bone mass (not to mention all that manly hair!). He needs to eat foods that satisfy the hunger and give his body what it needs. Also - some people are just never, ever going to be "thin"....but they can be healthy. Would it make more sense to get him involved with something where size would be an advantage - like football? And then talk in terms of eating healthy and building muscle instead of weight loss and fat. [/QUOTE]
