10 things you should never say to someone who is trying to lose weight

Published by Business Insider on Fri, 19 Oct 2018


Talking to someone about their effort to lose weight can be tricky. It's easy to unintentionally say something upsetting in your quest to offer support or learn more about a person's diet. If someone close to you is making healthy changes to their lifestyle, it's important to learn the right way to talk to them about their weight loss journey. Here are a few things you should never say to someone who is trying to lose weight. "You don't need lose to weight."This is a common reaction to the news that a friend is trying to lose weight. Though the comment might be intended to assure someone that you care about them no matter what the scale says, it actually can serve to negate a person's rationale for losing weight."Even ifin your opinionthey are 'fine,' I recommend supporting their efforts with positive reinforcementcomment on their successes," registered dietitian Jenna Bell told US News. As Bell pointed out, someone might be trying to lose weight for reasons other than appearance. They could want to become more athletic or reduce the chances of developing a medical condition that runs in their family. "Have you tried [specific fad or trendy diet]' It worked so well for me."Suggesting that someone try a specific diet can be problematic because it encourages people to favor extreme weight loss solutions over tried-and-true healthy lifestyle alterations."This suggestion often comes from friends who don't really know how unhealthy yo-yo dieting can be for you long-term," Frances Largeman-Roth, RD, health expert and co-author of "The CarbLovers Diet, told Health. A comment like this presents a simplistic view of weight management and might be insulting to someone who feels like they have tried everything to lose weight with little success."Didn't you try to lose weight last year'"Reminding someone of their past attempts to lose weight can imply that you believe they have fallen short before and won't be able to reach their goals this time around. "Such pessimistic feedback can take all the wind out of someone's sails and discourage them. It reminds them of past failures and negative experiences," Leslie Heinberg, director of behavioral services for the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute, told US News. Instead of commenting on how difficult someone's diet or weight loss plan seems, try offering positive words of encouragement and praising their dedication.
