[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you can tell him specifically, but you can make things at home more encouraging. If you are bringing snacks or processed foods into the house, stop. Make it seem like “the family” needs to get more healthy, and then any food that’s happening at home can be aimed at healthy, more nutritious, and less fattening. Cut down on things that tend to be more nutritionally bankrupt. Up the salads and vegetables. Try to figure out what kind of snack foods that are healthy he might accept. That sounds dumb but at my house pickles are something crunchy that have flavor but aren’t high calorie. Cut down the takeout or food delivery. If you have space for an exercise machine like a treadmill or whatever, do you think that’s something he would use?[/quote]
