Helping Your Overweight Spouse
3 Sneaky But Effective Ways to Help Them Lose Weight
It all starts innocently enough with buying bigger dress sizes or getting extra helpings of dinner, but eventually you’ll notice your overweight spouse’s weight gain turning into a problem. Talking to them about it can be tricky especially if they’re the sensitive type. The only solution is to go on a covert operation to get them to do something about it. Read on to find out some subtle weight loss tricks from the experts.
Be Blue
Make your overweight spouse see blue as much as possible. Redecorate the kitchen with blue trimmings, get them dressing up in blue or buy them their favorite things in blue. Studies have shown that this color is an effective appetite suppressant. On the opposite end, avoid orange and red because they encourage eating more. That’s why almost all restaurants are often decked with these colors.
Do a Restaurant Setting
As long as we’re on the subject of restaurants, make use restaurant style settings and portions for your meals at home. Make the food taste just as good and serve it with the best dinnerware you have. The catch? Just have your overweight spouse eat with small portions – ban extra helpings altogether. The trick is to make the meal as filling as possible with soups and water-filled vegetables.
Get Spicy
If your overweight spouse is used to butter or other fatty flavoring, substitute hot spices instead. They can help burn more calories because they encourage your digestive system to work harder after every meal. Try a good salsa or hot sauce along with Cajun flavorings to get your spouse’s taste buds fired up.
Winning an argument isn’t going to get your overweight spouse to lose weight so you might as well do use subtle tactics to get them to eat healthier. Something as easy as using color psychology or using hot spices can make them eat less and burn more calories without any effort at all. A restaurant setting at home can also encourage them to eat in smaller portions. One day they’ll eventually catch on to it, but by that time, they’ve lost some weight and will be thanking you for it.
