<s>[INST] My 12 year old daughter is obese. How can I politely tell her that we are going to put her on a diet? [/INST] This is surely a difficult situation. Ideally she should be taken to an obesity specialist who has long term experience with childhood obesity and its treatments. Also, rather than just putting her on a diet and making her indirectly or polietly realize that, the whole family can bring abaout changes in lifestyle, ie., making dietary changes, reducing sugars and oil consumption, introducing some form of physical activity and sitting down with the whole family ans explaining that these changes are made for the health of the family would be an easier way to help her. Apart from that, if she continues to gain weight you may take her to an obesity expert and an endocrinologist to rule out any other cause or hormonal impact on her health. Source: LOC.
