Answer 4

Whatever she wants... It's hard to change anyone's habits; you have to want it yourself.  

If she does, try taking a small amount out of the bag, and putting it on a plate, putting the bag away, and eating it at the table without reading, watching tv, or talking to someone, means you pay attention to what you are eating, and feel more satisfied, without eating a lot. Air popped (not microwaved with butter and stuff) popcorn is very healthy too.

As for fruits and veggies, have her try just small amounts of the more popular ones, like apples, oranges, berries.  The rule your mother (should have) taught you as a small child, 'Take three bites before you say you don't like it', is appropriate here.  

Answer 5

You exercise. Id say one of the best work outs for a 10-13 year old would be swimming!

If she eats mostly junk food though she will NEVER be a healthy girl. There is plenty of different food so no one can just write off all fruit and veg, try buying different types of Unprocessed food. If she really wants something like a burger buy mince meat, eggs, flour and make your own. Its so much better than the gunk and chemicals they put in processed foods.

She wants a sweet drink? Get a blender and make your own smoothies.

Wants chocolate? Chocolate isn't all that bad as long as you get the ones made without vegetable oil.

Just a few ideas.

Answer 6

simple, don't let them eat junk food and force fruits and vegetables down their throat.

Answer 7

Her parents need to take more control of the situation and not make junk food available to her.  At that age, she does not need to be in control of what she eats.  Her parents should be in control.   She can learn to like fruits and veggies just as most people do.  There are lots of healty and interesting ways to serve fruits and veggies which might appeal more to her.

She needs to get active - less TV and computer time, and  more sports and outdoor activities.  She needs to walk everywhere and go for walks everyday.
