Here is a question I recently received from FOODPICKER.org:
I have pre-diabetes and am struggling to eat healthy. My brother and his family live with me and there are tons of junk food temptations in my kitchen. I want the entire household to start eating healthy with me, they can all benefit, but they are resistant. Any suggestions?
Answer: It can definitely be helpful if the entire family is choosing to eat healthier. Here are a few suggestions that may be of help:
- Sit down with your family and discuss your goals. Explain why it is important for you to eat healthier and describe what you mean when you say “eat healthy”. This will help them understand your point of view as well as give them a clear picture of how their eating would change.
- Get creative with your recipes and make them over into healthier options by reducing fat, choosing leaner protein sources, opting for whole grains, etc.
- Involve your family in preparing meals. This can be a great opportunity for everyone to contribute to healthier eating.
