Teen Weight Loss Services
Why is weight loss for teens specialized?
Each child grows at their own pace and several factors affect each child’s ability to maintain an ideal weight. We help with gradual weight loss in order for your child to grow and thrive.
Reaching a healthy weight involves lifestyle changes for your child and also the whole family. A detailed evaluation is the start of identifying areas where changes need to be made. Continued visits with our Balance! Team will provide support to ensure each child reaches their ideal healthy weight.
How do I know if my child is overweight?
It is often difficult for a parent to know if their child is overweight. The best tool we have is a standardized measure called BMI- Body Mass Index to help us make this diagnosis. BMI is calculated based on your child’s weight and height. You can think of it as a measure of how heavy your child is for his/her height.
Use this BMI calculator to calculate your child’s BMI
| If your child is in the normal weight category keep up the good work.. | If your child is in the overweight category consider taking advantage of our weight management services. | If your child is in the obese category please register and join our weight management program. |
