What can I do to help my husband lose weight without offending him?

There could be a lot of different factors involved. Like, does he drink pop or any other carbonated beverage? Carbonation is not good for someone and tends to "hold" fat on someone. What times during the day does he eat? How much does he eat at one time? What is his age? Does he snack a lot? Posibbly insulin resistance. How much sugar is he ingesting? Once a person starts to have problems with insulin resistance (but not quite diabetic), they will tend to gain more abdominal fat than anywhere else. It could also be something like his thyroid or genetics. Some people are prone to belly fat, no matter how hard they try to find it. If he's gaining THAT much, there could be a physical reason as to why. I would have him get a complete physical and talk to the doctor about your concerns - while your husband is sitting there - otherwise the doctor might say "completely healthy, all things considered" and then (as a man) your husband will see nothing wrong with a big middle. My husband is the same way. He works two jobs though, and his pt job in the evenings is complete walking around - manual labor - and so he burns all the calories from the dinner I cook him between jobs. Needless to say he is starved by the time he gets home and showers (at 11pm) and tends to eat and snack and drink pop. Even with ALL the walking and physical exercise he's getting, he's still getting bigger around the middle! That's why I was asking about your husband about WHAT and WHEN he eats. Even with a bunch of exercise, if one doesn't think about the HOW or WHAT or WHEN, it would still be easy to pack on the pounds. I've tried nagging, positive reinforcement, silent treatment, making my husband feel guilty (saying you won't live long enough to see the kids grow up), hiding stuff, not buying it...none of it works. My husband has to make certain choices himself. I can't do it for him. I cook nutritious meals for him between his jobs and have healthy snack foods here, but if he still chooses to eat late and whatnot, he won't get healthy. I'm not sure what to tell you about HOW you can help him. After trying to find out his habits and getting a physical, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe the doctor would have some good suggestions. Good luck!

If he is gaining weight that quickly...there maybe something medical that is happening and neither of you realize it. I would suggest that you get him to go to the doctor for a physical. Some men...hard done than said, I know. But there could be a thyroid condition or something else that could be making him gain weight so rapidly. And while you are there with the doctor, you could try to mention it. Or if you call to set up the appointment, you could talk to the nurse about it and say that you are concerned about him gaining weight so quickly but are afraid to say something. They may be able to ask him about his weight gaining history. Then maybe they could run some tests to see if there is a cause for the weight gain.

You must tell him that YOU feel fat, and make gym with him.

Go jog with him.. encourage him to go for sports.. :)

slightly suggest him to join some gym or start any physical activity with him like walking cycling also change his food habits bit by bit serve him tasty but healthy food try to show him his earlier snaps and praise the way he looked then dont charge upon him all of a sudden but do it slowly and lovingly i m sure u will get positive results in a few months
