Hi
First and foremost he has to stop nibbling between meals, and can have dal/ khichidi/ rice along with rasam and curd at the lunch time, instead of 8pm at night, and can take chapathis with sabji and buttermilk at dinner time ..
He can have fruit salad, veg salad or whole fruit between instead of snacks..
Preferably home made food at all times
Can do exercises, running, cycling whatever he is doing he can continue...them.
Thankyou

U cut down preparations of many varieties of food ,restrict to one or two for all members .
Do not encourage in stored foods.
Give them some homeworks to do,play with them spend time with them so that they are diverted from only eating and eating.
Many new learning habits should be instilled and encouraged.
