It's not about weight, it's about body fat percentage.

For boys, anything over 30% body fat is obese. For girls it's over 40%. There are devices sold in stores which will tell you your body fat quite precisely.

If you want this process jump started:
Fasting, (juice fasts for 7 to 14 days are just fine)

(also lemon/clean water/cayenne/honey fasting for 7 to 14 days is also ok)

People do this sort of thing all the time and for longer periods of time without doing any damage to the body. Its called giving your kid, the GI tract and metabolism a 'break'. Its very normal and people in religions of all kinds do it frequently.

What to do at the end of this fasting period? Reintroduce juice, then slowly in this order: fruits, vegetables, pre-refrigerated acidophilus capsules (not yogurt- it causes irritation), small amounts of tuna, beans (no salt, msg or sugar), then brown rice, then Kashi Go Lean breakfast cereal (it has lots of fiber) and take fish oil or flax oil supplement - he/she needs the omega 3. Your son/daughter can then go on to 'healthy eating'

From diet and from now on: eliminate all saturated fat, margarine, alcohol, sugar, red meat (this causes intestinal sluggishness and causes most ailments), salad dressings (the rancid omega 6's causes problems instead have organic olive oil).

I bid your son/daughter good health and supreme energy.
