What Causes Inexplicable Weight Gain In Child?

I need advice on my 8 year old daughter, I have taken her to the doctor numerous times, had blood tests done, had her thyroid checked, had metabolism checked, and just about anything else you can think of but my wife and I cannot understand why she continuously gains weight. She is currently 155lbs, she goes to a gym twice a week among playing sports constantly. Ill admit she doesn t have the best eating habit but what kid does. When I was a kid I ate 10 times worse than she does and I was always a skinny kid, I am just very confused about the weight gain she has had over the last 4 years. Would just like some answers is all, thanks.

Hi,

There are three things which can help the child, diet, activity and behaviour [we have to work on all three]. There are diet programmes like dash style diet which helps in the long run; there is nutrisystem, tell them the age and weight and it will decide an accurate diet. Join art of living medha yoga or intuition course. Yes, of course, this online workshops will deal with activity and behaviour naturally, it is a must for the child. A dietitian and a nutritionist can be consulted along with pediatric faculty.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
