BACKGROUND: Structured dietary interventions have been associated with improved outcomes in adult weight-control programs, but virtually no research has focused on children. Thus, we conducted an uncontrolled pilot study to determine the potential utility of structured approaches to enhance the dietary component of family-based treatment of severe pediatric obesity (body mass index BMI >97th percentile for age and sex). METHOD: =6). All families received up to 30/week reimbursement for foods included in the menus. RESULTS: <0. 05). CONCLUSION: Structured dietary interventions for severe pediatric obesity are acceptable to families and warrant further development.
