Role of the weight loss Support Person

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I think it's all about encouragement and finding what works for him.
Using a good quality oil is ok it's actually good for you, it's about everything in moderation and getting exercise.

DP and I are having the same issues at the moment but BOTH of us are trying to lose weight and we have very different ideas on how it should happen.
Making sure he eats is also something to think about - breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner - if he doesn't eat breakfast his metabloism wont be starting properly (this is a big issue for my DP)

I have my fitness pal - i logged my meals for a couple of days but that was more to get an idea of how much was in what i already eat.... TBH i wasn't actually getting anywhere near the calories it said i could have BUT my biggest issue is i'm not actually eating enough to keep my metabolism going.

So here i eat when the kids eat (including fruit snacks) and i'm going to try and get back into netball and walking

Not sure i've helped at all... i'm sure more people will have better advice

Can you substitute your oils for coconut oil? Its been shown to result in pretty decent weight loss. I wrote more about that in the recent coconut oil thread Drinking lots of water. A good nights sleep. Eating fruits for snacks on an empty stomach. Just a few of many

If you eat a healthy diet that doesn't have too much crap in it then the issue is might be portion control.
The easiest way for you to help here is to not cook too much. And don't offer seconds.
Also you can trick you body into thinking it's eaten more by eating slowly.
