Summary

This pilot study tests a 6-month program that teaches families about healthy eating and activity, and delivers fresh fruits and vegetables to their homes. About 30 children aged 4 to 10 with obesity, along with their caregivers, will take part. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and well-received, not to measure weight loss.
