Sports activity (3 times per week), nutritional changes and modification of behavior are the basic tenets of an outpatient program run for 9- to 12-year-old adipose children since 1987. The following goals are to be attained: increase in physical performance capacity and body awareness, long-lasting change in eating habits, weight loss to under 20% overweight compared to the age-normal (height/normal weight), and understanding of the permanence of body weight problems. Individual nutritional consultation is offered in addition to the initial examination consisting of physical examination, skin fat-fold measurement, blood chemical parameters, spiroergometry and a detailed consultation with parents and children. The eating habits of the children are recorded in a dietary history (3-day dietary protocol, questionnaire) and discussed in individual meetings with the parents and children. Moreover, the nutritional program includes regular nutritional consultations and parents' meetings every month. Cooking instructions for children and parents provide practical knowledge of food preparation to preserve nutrients in an energy-reduced, tasty diet, as well as theoretical basics of nutrition. The control examinations show individual weight loss or stability and improvement in blood lipid parameters. Awareness and controlled nutritional habits were learned especially by the children of parents who, for their part, tried to tailor their nutrition to be better balanced, more nutritional and more need-oriented. Children who maintain the learned nutritional habits after completion of the outpatient program, and who remain active in sports, show long-lasting constant weight. Prevention must begin in childhood. Intensive nutritional support combined with an appropriate sports program should be offered as a preventive measure.
