1
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,560
My name's Brigitta,
I'm 12 years old.

2
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,920
I've been in the clinic for a week.

3
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,560
What do you expect from the clinic?

4
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720
First, to get thinner.

5
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,520
But it can't all be done here
so I'll continue at home.

6
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,880
And then...

7
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,440
To look better, not as shapeless.

8
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,840
How much weight would you like to lose?

9
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Well...

10
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,120
10 kg, for sure.

11
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,400
Brigitta is overweight,
just like the other kids here.

12
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,840
They aren't ill.

13
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,200
They've just been eating too much.

14
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,840
At Kiel's University Pediatric Clinic,
they're on a weight loss programme

15
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,800
involving doctors,
sport teachers and psychologists.

16
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,600
The children need to learn
how to use their bodies again,

17
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,040
to move, play sports, exercise.

18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Then we've also discovered

19
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,440
that children have
no information whatsoever

20
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,360
about what they do
3 times a day, i.e. eat,

21
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,320
on what they should eat and how.

22
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:56,320
They need information
on eating properly,

23
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,880
and on what different foods
do to your body.

24
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Thirdly, these children
are often propelled by outside forces,

25
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,760
by external stimuli...

26
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Food is available everywhere

27
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,600
and round the clock in their homes,

28
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,480
so they need to learn
to decide for themselves again.

29
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Do you think you should
take a big leap or go easy?

30
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,680
Well, I need...

31
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,560
- Look this way.
- A medium one.

32
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,440
- Sorry?
- A medium one.

33
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,040
A medium leap?

34
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,320
- Can you estimate...
- I mean, here, a medium one.

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,480
And then, the rest at home.

36
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,880
- The rest at home.
- In total, that's a big leap.

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,080
So, you want to divide it up.

38
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,600
You say:
"I want to speed things up here,

39
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,080
"then I want to try it alone at home."

40
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,760
You're dividing things up
into two phases,

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,000
saying: "I want
to try it out for myself first,

42
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,360
"to see if I can do it alone later."

43
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,320
That's good.

44
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,000
You're saying : "A medium leap here,
a medium one at home,

45
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,240
"to cause a drop,
a downward slope."

46
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,880
And : "I'm setting a goal for myself."

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,120
Could you set a goal for yourself?

48
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,400
For here?

49
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,440
- Yeah... Say... 60.
- 60.

50
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,760
And once there, you'll say:
"Stop, I'll continue at home."

51
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,560
When children are discharged
from hospital care and go back home,

52
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,400
they need to continue this "diet".

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,080
If the family isn't ready
to help their child,

54
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,560
for example, by replacing
good Schleswig-Holstein cooking

55
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,040
and its flour-based broths and sauces,

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,520
with relatively fat-free cooking,

57
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,520
for example,

58
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:56,000
by reducing the intake
of chocolate and sweets,

59
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,200
then kids are alone in their families
and will fail.

60
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,000
They need support,
especially of their mothers,

61
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,360
as they're generally responsible
for the cooking these days,

62
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,280
so that they can stay on track
during those relatively hard times,

63
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,600
until they can propel themselves,

64
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,400
and they're not as easily tempted
by sweet treats anymore.

65
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,240
What are you doing?

66
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,160
Push-ups.

67
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,800
"Exercise wins the prize",
that's what my grandmother used to say.

68
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,920
That's praiseworthy.

69
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,840
With everything you gobbled down today,
I can understand your need to exercise.

70
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Good.

71
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,600
Yes.

72
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Yes.

73
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,440
"Food and exercise must harmonise",

74
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,280
is what kids always say.

75
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,760
He who eats a lot,
needs to move a lot.

76
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,160
What are you doing now?

77
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,560
You can't be serious.
No!

78
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,760
He who moves a lot,
needs to eat a lot.

79
