[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t. Just shift the entire household to calorie burning activities and healthier food. [/quote] This is the right way. [/quote] When your kid is 17 there’s not a lot of “shifting the whole house to calorie burning activities” you can do. 17 year olds aren’t going to the park to kick the soccer ball around with mommy after school. They also are probably consuming >50% of their calories outside the house. Not saying making healthy foods available and modeling an active life cycle isn’t good, but we’re not talking about an 11 or 12 year old. Agree with other PP that he’s going to need to decide he wants to do this on his own. Make it easy for him to join a gym if he wants, talk to him generally about managing stress[/quote]
