Dr. Stork and his colleague Dr. Jennifer Ashton, are not shy when voicing their disapproval at the lifestyle of the reality television family. After going on a tour of Alana and Mama June’s home, including a peek into their fridge, the doctors concluded that Honey Boo Boo needed to be put on a diet. “She’s an obese nine-year-old,” said Dr. Ashton bluntly.

Dr. Stork agreed, blaming Mama June for her daughter’s unhealthy lifestyle. “It all starts with you,” he says. “That’s on you.”

Both doctors created a weight loss plan for the family, and allowed Alana and Mama June to choose the one that is right for them. The episode will air on Feb. 25.

According to an interview with Access Hollywood, Dr. Stork has put Alana on a strict diet and The Doctors even gave her a bike to work on her exercise.
