He just started golfing. And, he loves greasy foods and midnight snacks.How can I help my husband lose weight and become more healthy?
You can't make him diet if he isn't willing. However you can start buying heathy snacks to have around the house for his midnight munchies. Also start cooking heathier meals.How can I help my husband lose weight and become more healthy?
no more greasy mid night snack usually if you want to lose weight you don't want to eat after 5pm or so but if he insists on his snack then maybe find something else for him to snack on that is better for him, if you do the cooking you can try a variety of differant healthy but good tasting food. If he is like my husabnd he hates anything good for him unless it tastes good.. Golf is good for walking but he would need a fast sport, one to get his heart pumping to burn colories.
Healthy weight loss tips








* Take one pound at a time


Don鈥檛 get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that ';losing 15 pounds in two weeks'; is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.





Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.





Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.








* Set Reachable Goals


For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.





The same logic applies for losing weight.





* Stay off the scales


Don鈥檛 get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.





If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.





* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin


# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.





* Fat Free?


We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.





* Drink plenty of water


Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.





* Reward yourself


# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.





* Seek help if you need it


# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.





* Watch your portions


With the advent of ';supersize'; meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a ';plate cleaner'; even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.





* Eat your food slowly


Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.

Don't but any greasy foods, especially take-out. Don't buy the foods he likes to snack on. Instead buy him fruit if he wants to eat at midnight.
he must stop the junk food, grease and late night snacking, he needs to get off carbs and fats, he needs to eat about 5 light meals a day, yogurt, low fat and artifically sweetened, with a little fruit and some granola on it for crunch, take a high vitamin power bar for a snack in the day time if he must, then salad and low fat dressing for lunch, if he needs more, some lean meat on it, like chicken or shrimp. then a piece of raw fruit for afternoon, and a salad or low fat cottage cheese, then green or yellow veggies, tomato, broiled chicken or fish and once in a while beef or ham, green beans, or broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower or oriental veggies. sugar free jello for dessert. it really will work. he has to have enough back bone to give up the junk it will repay him or he will end up diabetic like me. then he will have no choice at all.
