My nephew's diet....
He's 11 and, shall we say, slightly corpulent. We had the family around for dinner on Sunday, full roast turkey, spuds, creamed leeks, cauli-cheese, broccoli, beans, etc. etc. Plenty to choose from, whatever your taste. It was a help yourself job as there were a fair few of us. Net result, his plate consisted of three slices of turkey, which he ate then went and stuffed an Easter egg.
Unfortunately, his tends to be typical of his nutritional intake these days. If there's something he doesn't like, he refuses to eat it, so his mum cooks him a frozen pizza, beans on toast or suchlike, which is then covered in ketchup and usually followed by cake or biscuits. If there's something new on offer, he refuses to try it and gets cooked another frozen pizza, etc. He's always been a fussy eater, but it's getting to the point now where a few of us in the family are worried about it. I'm told, not that I requested such information, that he has a dump once a week on average and it ain't pretty in there afterwards, by all accounts.
His exercise level is practically zero, even though he holds a brown belt in karate (go figure). I've gone to watch him previously when he goes for a new ranking and at one point I thought he was doing tai-chi, such was the lack of speed in the kata.

His mum seems quite laid back about the whole situation, making light of it, and although the wife has had a gentle conversation around his weight, it's not our place to criticise.
