Dietary intervention program for adolescent obesity Children and adolescents are in the stage of growth and development, and the methods that can be used to lose weight in adulthood, such as surgical degreasing, drugs, fasting, etc., are not suitable for children and adolescents. Some foreign experts also stressed that for overweight and obese children and adolescents, surgery and drugs should be used with caution, because there is still no evidence to prove their safety. In addition, some activities that try to make children and adolescents lose weight through short-term exercise (such as weight loss summer camp) are not worth promoting.
