Being healthy is ultimately a choice that they need to make.You can’t convince anyone, if they do not want to take the necessary actions to live a healthy lifestyle. 

But you can enlighten people that eating healthy may not be exactly what they think healthy is.

Healthy eating is not about giving up all the foods you love, cold turkey. It’s also not about never being allowed to have another drink of alcohol again.

The first rule of convincing your husband to eat healthier: do not “nag”. Coming from personal experience, even though it may not be your intention, if you approach them the wrong way, a lot of men will take it as nagging. This “nagging” will often turn men off, and send them in the opposite direction.

What exactly is healthy eating?
This is important, because there are so many misconceptions on what healthy eating is, especially to men. Many misinformed guys think healthy eating requires you to eat salad, after salad, after salad.

If they followed what I eat, they’d quickly realize that I eat a lot of:
- Grass fed beef
- Chicken breast
- Wild salmon

These healthy types of protein sources are often classified as “man foods”. Yet when most men think about healthy eating, they mistakingly think all they can eat is tofu, green smoothies, and vegetables.

Healthy eating does not mean boring and tasteless food
Every meal that I eat is usually centered around a protein source that is prepared and cooked in a healthy way. Rather than loading up your steak with unhealthy, sugary barbecue sauce, swap that out for healthy herbs and spices, which makes it taste even better.

Stereotypical “man food” has the opposite effect on your body
It’s true.

From a hormone perspective, most processed food are screwing up your hormones, and possibly throwing off your testosterone to estrogen balance. Healthy eating helps you feel more like a man.

The overconsumption of processed food is working against the optimization of your male hormones, specifically testosterone.

What about alcohol?
The best approach to reducing unhealthy eating and drinking is through smaller steps that moves you consistently towards your overall goal. So don’t ask them to quit drinking alcohol or never eat fast food forever.

Focus on improving one day at a time. If they’re eating fast food 5 days per week. For this week, aim to only eat fast food 4 days per week.

Eventually, build up to a point where they enjoy only one cheat meal per week. This approach to eating, creates a healthy balance that is sustainable in your life.

Choose this treat meal as the time when you socialize with friends.
This way you can still be social and enjoy burgers, fries, and beer.

If all else fails, have the important big picture talk about his “why”. If he’s a father, I’m sure it’s important for him to be healthy enough to:
- Watch his kids grow up
- Play sports with them
- And be around to see them get married
