We just found out that my 8 year old has fat on her liver!! Does anyone know a diet that is ok for kids? She isn't huge, but a little chunky, so I would guess she might need to loose 10 pounds or so. Any ideas, besides exercising more and cutting out junk? She doesn't really eat a lot of junk, but she has her moments. Thanks!!
