Dietary Planning

Question: What are good, easy dietary plans for an 11 year old girl? She's not visibly overweight, she has a roll though, but you shouldn't picture her very chubby. What can she do? Daylight savings time is over, so she doesn't have much time after school to ride her bike. She'd rather do that than work on a treadmill or any exercise equiptment that is indoors.

Answer: Well, first off, junk the junk food, no pun intended. If you are her guardian, try not to buy her junk food, and instead give her healthy food, such as carrots, as snacks. Also, ban all sugary drinks, and instead, provide water. A good exercise would be plain walking. Walking for 30 minutes everyday can burn 300 calorie daily. That can lead to up to 20 pounds of weight loss in a year.
