Thread: Some suggestions please

Nothing! You can't make another person want to do something. My suggestion is to leave him alone...you'll only drive yourself nuts trying to get him to follow a diet that he has no intention of following anyway. I've been through this w/ many people. Focus on yourself, eat well, train hard and maybe he'll see a connection between your dedication and your physique and want to finally do something about his own.

Don’t take it too hard. Before you can help him he need to make up his mind how much he wants this. If he not following your directions he probably don’t give a shiat about this and all he can do is complain about his fat ass. You just keep working hard and don’t let this get to you, hopefully your partner will change his moods.

Good advice you've already gotten! Maybe you can point him to some places (here, for example) that have some info that really drives home the link between proper nutrition and muscle growth and fat loss. Eat poorly and you won't build muscle, and fat loss will be all that much harder!

But he does need to figure it out on his own. I understand what he's thinking because I too am always tempted to eat less to get rid of more fat, but my workouts suck. Maybe suggest to him that he try it your way for, say, a week, to see if he notices a difference in his strength and energy? Maybe that'll help convince him....
