The secret is actually very simple - eating more than you need to contributes to sim getting fat. In game it is represented by their hunger meter. Once this meter is full, Sim will start gaining weight form any food they eat. Consider food a simple sustenance and eat only as much as you need and this probelm alleviates itself VERY noticeably. This is also why vampires don't really get fat - they don't drink more than they need to.
Over eating is not the issue. I always stop them before the bar gets full. It happens with every female child aged to teen. My boys don't seem to have this issue. It's very annoying. It makes it a lot harder to do things the way I want when I have to spend so much time exercising. And the weight is extreme. It usually takes about level 7 in fitness to fix it. It's getting really old. Every female teen every time in every family in every game. Insert scream here.
