Honey Boo Boo, 11, refuses to diet: 'I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, unless it has cheeseburgers and stuff'
Her mom has lost more than 300 lbs, and Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is super proud -- but she's not looking to follow suit.
The 11-year-old fully rejects a doctor's healthy eating suggestions during the March 3 episode of "Mama June: From Not to Hot.' Dr. Michael Feiz lays out his case, but Honey Boo Boo isn't having it.
"Like, I have no idea what this man's talking about," she tells the camera. "Mama's on this diet, but I'm not, boo boo. I like my curves. ... I mean, seriously, this dude is really crazy."
Dr. Feiz recommends that the family "stay away from fried foods, stay away from high-fattening foods." The lifestyle change is a critical part of the weight-loss process for Mama June Shannon, who underwent gastric bypass surgery in addition to adding diet and exercise to her daily routine.
But Thompson is unenthusiastic, rebutting, "I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, unless it has cheeseburgers and stuff."
A 2015 People story revealed that at age 9, Thompson was 125 lbs. The average weight for a child that age is 63 lbs.
It's possible that down the road, Thompson will take her mom's advice, which she relayed to In Touch earlier this year: "I'd tell people who are struggling with weight, just take it one day at a time. You can't just give up because it seems like the easy way to go. Trust me, I wanted to give up several times throughout this journey."
