<![CDATA[Obesity is a health problem that can occur in various circles, including adolescents. The prevalence of obesity in adolescents continues to increase, although various efforts have been made to prevent and control obesity. Health education with the lecture method is less effective to be applied to today's youth. Therefore, one of the educational methods provided is the provision of education through animated videos that can attract the attention of teenagers so that messages can be conveyed and increase adolescent knowledge. This educational activity will be held in September 2022 in the PK Al Kautsar Kartasura Junior High School Hall. The participants of this activity were 51 teenagers consisting of grades 8 and 9. Nutrition education began with giving a pretest, then continued with the provision of material containing indicators of obesity, causes, impacts and how to prevent obesity with animated video media, to see the increase in knowledge, students were given posttest and discussion and question and answer.
