How to Care for an Obese Relative

If you are in the situation of caring for an obese relative, than you may need to make some adjustments in their, as well as your own, lifestyle.

Steps

    1
    Take them to the doctor's office. The doctor will give you, the caretaker advice on how to take proper care of them.
    2
    Try to wean them slowly off the disgusting fatty foods. This may take a long time to do, but it will be worth it.
    3
    Introduce them to healthier things like homemade sandwiches (ham, turkey, etc.), vegetables, and fruit.
    4
    Soon, start introducing more soups and salads with meat. Don't just feed them salad though - they will not appreciate this!
    5
    Once they are comfortable with this, take red and processed meats out of their diet, and replace them with chicken, turkey, and fish. These are lighter, healthier meats.
    6
    Introduce exercises, and be careful by doing stretches beforehand.

Tips

    Be prepared to wheel them around if they are very obese.
    Don't be hurtful, be firm.
    Tell them you love them - and MEAN it!

Warnings

    Don't let them pig out on anything, even on healthy foods. Too much of a good thing defeats the purpose!
    This is a fairly slow process, so don't expect immediate changes.
