Can my 13 year old son do this program?

[Cherylkluz]

Hi, I just signed up today for myself and can’t wait to start! I have a 13 year old son who is not diabetic but is overweight and not very active because he has been stuck in the house. We are taking it slow and starting with short walks every day. My question is how do I know what amount of calories or serving sizes for him? He does need to lose weight but at the same time he is still a growing boy and at 13 is already 6’2
Thanks!

Hi, Cherylkluz. Based on your current information, you and your son can actually use the same menus. As you lose weight and your portions change, just keep his portions the same as they are now.

Hi, Gwendolyn62. You can read up on the concept of the program in the main program, which you can access in the “My Guides” area (link in the toolbar near the top of each site page). To right-size portions for your daughter based on your menu, you are welcome to provide her height and weight, and I can make that calculation for her.
