 Diagnosis &
Intervention
Subject is considered overweight and has a history of that same
issue. Because of the over consumption of grains which is on a
daily basis it causes one to obtain more calories than actually
needed. There is also a consumption of fried foods and other
sugary substances that accumulates during the week.
I would possibly tell the parents to be more involved in what their
children are eating, by that I mean to learn more about what
can cause a family to be eating to much of something and not
enough of other food groups. That is why the parents need to be
more involved and educated on what they eat at home. Even
though all the food is cooked at home it does not make it a
healthier meal mainly because their diet has too much grains
and fried foods involved. The individual needs to learn a healthier
meal plan for her family in order to have a better and longer life.
I would also ask the parents to encourage more vegetables on
their childrens plates and their overall meals and to cut back on
the rice as well as the fried foods. One good thing I saw the
mother does is that her home meals are never the same is varies
in all types of meat. She understands variety but some meat has
more fat than the other and the way she cooks the meat also
affects the fat content. The mother typically fries pork and
chicken and I would tell her to think of a healthier solution
opposed to just frying food.
