How To Reduce Belly?

I have a 10 year old daughter that is very active but has quite a belly on her. She has encopresis and we watch what she eats but she loves junk food and we can't seem to get her belly weight to go down. She hates it. Is there anything we should be doing to help with this or is it the age?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
Physical exercise and low calorie diet should be the ideal plan to get the desired expected shape.
Fruits like cucumber, papaya,apples, guavava to be encouraged.
Juices/butter, cheese preparations to be avoided.
Instead of junk food child should be motivated for fruits.
and so many things.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
