world food program careers
My man eats like a football player, but he’s NOT. How do I curb his appetite?

I love my husband, but he has the world’s worst nutritional behavior. He used to be a football player, but he’s 34 now, and he hasn’t played sports in years. He still eats like he did when he was training, though!

He wants to lose weight, because he will be starting a physical training program for his career in law enforcement. But he thinks that if he starves himself all day, and then has a huge dinner right before he goes to sleep, that he’s going to get healthy.

He’s a very intelligent man, so I can’t understand why he gorges himself on all kinds of crap when we have a kitchen full of healthy foods.

So guys, I’m asking you… How in the world can I educate my man?
1. I already cook every meal.
2. I make sure there are good foods to eat that are easy to prepare if I’m not around.
3. We already work out together, and also individually.
4. Pills are a no-no.
5. I know I’m not his mom, but I AM his wife. I care about him and his health. I love him.

Men get math and numbers. Have him figure it out and see for himself how many calories he needs. You can go here: http://www.sheerbalance.com/nutrition_calculators.html?gclid=CKH1vICojpECFRk0awodSEJNGg
and have him just chug in the information, then show him how to read the nifty food information panels on everything–like the junk in the cabinets he gorges himself on. If he really wants to lose weight, once he sees the numbers and does the math, he’ll be more receptive to changing his habits.

As for the gorging himself on crap… there’s no reaching him on this. The crap must be gone, plain and simple, or he will eat it. Men are creatures of habit like you wouldn’t believe. We do the same things day in and day out because we can and it’s familiar and will only change those habits out of sheer necessity. You tell him how much better he’ll feel if he loses the weight, how hard he’ll have to work when he starts that physical training program and he doesn’t really want to be the dude in the back huffing and puffing on the treadmill, and if all else fails you use straight up guilt that you have no intentions of letting him eat his way to a heart attack, whatever it takes to get him to accept that the crap will no longer be purchased and kept in the house. At that point, if he wants to eat, he’ll find something he likes out of the healthier foods in the house.

Try a wide variety of healthy foods to get this to work. Remember that men like different foods and crave different foods than women. If he can’t live without ice cream, you get him sorbet. Carnivore on your hands? Beef jerky is an excellent source of lean protein. Fast-food burger addict? Keep lean hamburger or ground turkey in the house, and get you some burger recipes of this here internet thing. Be creative, try things you never thought of–breakfast, dinner, snack foods, whatever he eats in the house make like Martha Stewart and introduce him to the wide array of healthier eating options he has and you will be able to find foods that he enjoys enough to make them his new habits. It’ll be tough, but it can be done.
