I have a VERY fussy boyfriend, how do I make him eat healthy foods?

Answer 1

He is an adult ,right? Eating habits are usually formed as we are growing up and dictate how we eat when we are older. I think you just have to let him figure this out on his own ,hard as it might be to watch him eat foods you consider bad. My hubby loves to snack while he watches hockey but since I do most of the shopping ,I make sure we don't have a lot of chips, nachos etc. in the house . Instead I have grapes, cut up watermelon,etc. and he helps himself to those. No easy answer to this- he has to figure it out. Best of luck. P.S. Don't nag him...

Answer 2

First, you can not MAKE people eat what you want, any more than you can get an alcoholic to stop drinking, they have to want to.

Second, even the experts can not agree on what is healthy food. The old fats Vs no fats debate for example.

I presume you mean fruits and veggies, just serve them, cut up or with dressing on them and make them available.

Third, be carefull you are not a control freak, this may affect other area of your relationship, perhaps permanently.

Answer 3

You cannot, and indeed, should not, MAKE anybody eat anything that they don't wish too....presumably your boyfriend is an adult, and is therefore capable of deciding what he wants to eat himself, and the more you try and make him eat more healthy foods, the more he will dig his heels in, and he could even start resenting you for it.

Just eat healthily yourself and lead by example....who knows, the softly softly touch may work better than any other approach...

Answer 4

I use to make my children eat 3 mouthfuls of a food. If they did not like it after that then they did not have to eat it again.
Maybe if you ask him to eat 3 mouthfuls he might decide he likes that food.

Answer 5

................... you keep on eating your healthy food honey ............. let him be ................ he will have to find out on his own ..............
