Abstract: Obese children do not necessarily outgrow their baby fat. Strategies for combatting overweight, from infancy through adolescence with diet and exercise programs are offered. The many possible causes of overweight are discussed: heredity, stress, excess sugar, metabolic disorders, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, and illness. Five diet plans to counter these causes are presented, including menus, recipes, junk food alternatives, and eating out advice. Also included are a list of weight control classes, clinics and camps, mail-order sources of foods, and a reference list. (as).
