Honey Boo Boo was put on a diet by the hosts of CBS show "The Doctors" after determining that the 9-year-old reality TV star was on course for a range of health issues.
The Daily Mail reported that the pre-taped episode featuring the former darling of "Toddlers & Tiaras" and her mother, Mama June, will air Wednesday.
Mama June, 35, was known for feeding her daughter a combination of Red Bull and Mountain Dew, which she dubbed "Go Go Juice," right before she would compete in her beauty pageants.
When the mother/daughter team snagged their own TLC show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" — canceled last October after four seasons — the family's poor eating habits and lack of exercise were on display for the whole world.
That's left Boo, real name Alana Thompson, weighing 125 pounds at her current height of 4'6". According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, that puts her body mass index in the obese category for her age.
The doctors have sought to put an end to the family's bad habits by introducing them to a new eating plan, and by giving Honey Boo Boo a bicycle. The project is an ongoing one, and the doctors are expected to have the pair back on the show in upcoming months to track their progress.
