[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want you teen to learn the ins and outs of healthy eating employ a dietitian and change what you purchase/stock at home. Encourage some type of physical activity.

[b]I agree with you that what your DH is doing is hurtful[/b] and he’s projecting. I wouldn’t be able to keep my cool around it either b/c a) it’s obviously not producing results and yet he keeps at it, and b) it’s horribly hypocritical and I can’t see how your child would have any respect for him.

What OP wants to do, not talk about weight or food choices at all, is harmful but feels nicer to OP.  [/quote]

Actually, if you care about science (and I have no reason to think you do), the thing that "works" the least is pushing people to lose weight.

Works is in quotation marks because for the most part, fat people don't become thin people. But [b]you can teach people about foods [/b]and exercise that support valid markers of good health, of which BMI is not one. [/quote]

The science shows that hurts, fwiw.  [/quote]

Villainizing or valorizing specific foods hurts. Teaching them that fiber helps them poop or what foods will keep them from getting hungry an hour later does not.[/quote]
