The biggest thing is listen to the doctor and dietitian and help him stay on his diet.  Support him in any way that you can.  He most likely just needs to know that you are on his side and there for him at this time when he needs you most.  That, above all else will help him the greatest.  Oh, and one other thing about the diet, try not to tempt him too much by having a lot of things in the house that would break his diet.  He will get used to it eventually and you may be able to bring some of that stuff back in, but at first, it will be hard for him to stay on his diet, so remove as much temptation as you can.

First of all, it is important not to think that the diet is too restricitve. Mental acceptance of the diet is very important, otherwise you will not keept it. And combine it with fitness or dancing (I take Oriental dance classes, and it is even better than fitness).

don't diet with him if you really don't need to. if he's exercising too then you should do that with him because everyone needs exercise. for the beginning of his diet, until he gains some willpower, it would be better if you don't eat tempting foods in front of him

Diet and exercise.  Don't try to do it all at once.  Make minor changes to your lifestyle, and stick with them.

I believe so... The most important of all is the breakfast.To stay healthy,have a heavy breakfast,moderate lunch and a very light dinner.That's the best way to go.

No.  You want good food that you know is good on Thanksgiving.  You were just being real with him.  Nothing wrong with that.

Sounds perfect to me...I am NOT a Pumpkin Pie, Mince Meat Pie, or Apple pie freak....a Lemon Merangue sound great. There is no reason to think that other things do not work for eating at Thanksgiving. I am thinking of making a cake this year instead of pie...hell, who has room for all this stuff anyway? Good luck (please make to of them, send me one...I love Lemon !

Fill your plate with veggies!  Eat whole wheat instead of white whenever possible (bread, rice, cereal, etc)  Buy sugar free/ or fat free whenever possible.  There is a program on PBS called Sit And Be Fit. Try that!  Good Luck!

Carbohydrates if not used will be turned to sugar and stored. A balanced diet is best so instead of avoiding carbs completely, try avoiding eating carbs in the evening. Try it and I think you'll see some results.

definatly ask a preofessional dietician. i recommend organic food. more whole grains in your diet, veggies, and whole fruits. youre plan looks really vague. eat more of your whole grains earlier in the day, so your body burns them off through out the day.

Any change in your diet will have an effect, and most will tell you not to diet, but change the way you eat permanently to have long lasting results. Say you:\n-eat what you usually eat, but less of it\n-start incorporating exercise, even just 5 minutes to start if you want, just start doing more than you were\n-find alternatives to what you do eat, instead of pork bacon, opt for turkey bacon(I actually liked it a LOT better!!!), instead of margarine or butter, buy the light kind, small changes...(big ones if you want, but you are more likely to keep up with it if you aren't altering and cutting out EVERYTHING you usually have)\n-try to eat in more instead of dining out as often as you do, or if you do eat out, try the smaller portions\n-Lessen the intake of red meat and opt for more chicken,fish,tuna etc. \n\nI noticed small changes made a great impact, and it was something I could do. I lost ten pounds the first month by just trying to incorporate more activity and consciously making an effort- and it worked. No diets, drugs, etc...\nI hope this helps!

I'm going to say NO on this one. Think about it. The day you lose the Liquid diet, is the day you'll gain back all that wait. Trust me. Unless your looking to lose that 10 pounds for some special event, stick to a regular diet, such as Weight Watchers. Or talk to a Nutritionist. And as alaways, stick away from lots of carbs, drink ALOT of water and excersise on a somewhat regualr basis. Hopes this helps! And good luck!!

All diets are pretty much the same. If it doesn't have sugar in it, consider yourself okay.

Thanksgiving could be a negative experience as you suggest, but I think you are better served by taking a more positive approach:  use the day to truly appreciate all the good things in your life.  Be thankful for family, friends, good health and anything else you cherish.  Enjoy the game.\n\ngobble gobble

I'm sure almost anything you decide to bring will be enjoyed by all.  I would probably bring something not too heavy (and easy to make) like deviled eggs.  Maybe you could make/bring some sort of dip and crackers to go along with the dip.  It's nice to have a variety of food at Thanksgiving.  Enjoy your holiday!

No! as soon as you go on a diet all you can think about is food and eating! You have to realise that you eat to live and dont live to eat and then you have to find the worthwhile things in your life that make your days special and enjoy. One day you will find that  dieting is an unnecessary evil
