DELIGHTFUL DIETING

Friends of Dieter

  • Avoid asking about weight loss.

  • Be encouraging and complement the dieter.

  • Be sensitive to the dieter’s meal choices.

  • Parents - don’t force your (adult) children to eat clean their plates.

  • Spouses – go along with the program.

  • Be mindful of the “smell factor” with your specialty diet foods.

  • Don’t criticize your friends who might need to diet too.

  • Don’t impose your dietary restrictions on others.

  • Let people close to you know you’re dieting so they can be supportive.
