Although exercise is essential to losing weight, a 12 year old can try to lose weight by eating healthier foods. It really depends on the child, however, and they should get checked with the doctor if they don't think they're healthy. Dieting is not recommended for children, as that can be dangerous for them. Losing weight at 12, however, really isn't necessary unless the child is obese and needs help. Weight really shouldn't be an issue until the child is older. The child should only be concerned about what it eats, and if it's healthy.
