Advice?
So, my sibling has recently gotten into weight loss with the mindset of "if I only eat these two veggies, I'll lose weight quickly". I didn't like this as I knew where it was going, as I am currently in this state, barely eating/only eating strictly healthy, worrying about how I look, the works. I haven't even had chocolate in months due to my issues.
I didn't want them to turn out how I did, so at dinner, I gave them a stern, very stern, talking to about the importance of variety and nutrients in a diet. I say sternly because we are both stubborn motherfuckers and knew that I couldn't exactly be quiet and silent about it.
I digress, but I gave them articles about how one is to lose weight, how weight affects a period (much to our masculine dispair), and how eating the way they are could lead to other health problems. To combat this, after an education with what knowledge I had grabbed and stored, I had them set up a plan. I made them write down the foods they like and how they like them prepared. I then grabbed like six cookbooks and as I write this, they are currently going through them, making them pick out recipes they want to try and know they want to eat. With this list, ever
It's concerning to hear your sibling is adopting such a restrictive approach to weight loss. Focusing on just a couple of veggies can lead to nutrient deficiencies and isn't sustainable. Encouraging a balanced diet paired with healthy habits might be a better way to support their goals.

It’s concerning to see your sibling latch onto such a restrictive mindset. Quick fixes rarely lead to sustainable weight loss—and the mental toll can be just as damaging. A more balanced approach might promote healthier habits without the stress of obsession.
It sounds like your sibling is setting themselves up for a pretty unhealthy relationship with food. Focusing on a couple of veggies might lead to quick results, but it’s not sustainable and can mess with their metabolism. It's important to promote a balanced diet rather than extremes.

It's tough to watch a loved one adopt such an extreme mindset about weight loss, especially when it often leads to unhealthy relationships with food. Sustainable changes come from balance, not restrictions. It might help to talk to them about finding a more holistic approach.
