how do i get my boyfriend to eat right and start an exercise routine he'll like?

Question:

i'm worried about his gradual weight gain and want him to eat good stuff and exercise right. but i want it to be food and exercise he'd like and fit into his regular lifestyle. any guys willing to give me an idea of what they'd like to eat and what exercise (apart from sex) that you'd do to keep you fit without driving you up the wall?

i love him tons and it's not only cuz i want him to look good, but cuz i don't want him having health issues like diabetes or high cholesterol.

Answers:
You can't make him exercise or eat right. You can talk to him, ccok healthy for him, go on bike rides and walks with him if he chooses to, but that's about it.

Other Answers:
you CANNOT make anyone do anything they don't want to
he has to learn to take care of himself
youo are not his Mother or his Wife

Try some type of Martial Arts. It's fun...it's "manly" and it does wonders for your self esteem, not to mention getting you in shape. Workin for me...

ha ha i was thinking the same thing about some 1 i kno but the best way is to tell the truth and if that aint work then just tell him that u are gonna stert gaining waight if he don stop

Have you thought of maybe doing some form of activity together (other than sex).... like joining a gym or going swimming or taking a run together?

Try to encourage to do things that are exercise but doesn't feel like it. Walking, hiking, etc. Cook healthy food and make healthy choices when you go out.

Don't nag because it's useless. You know the old saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." So very true.

Just have a serious talk with him about your concerns with his weight from a health standpoint. Ask him if there is anything that you can do to assist him with weightloss.

After that -- it's pretty much left up to him.

My suggestion is that you prepare some healthy meals for him. If you do so, he is more likely to eat the healthy food than if he were on his own. Also, if you start exercising with him, he will participate (e.g., go walking, swimming or bike riding together). If you don't take action on this, he won't.

Tell him no sex until he starts excercising
