Talked to a friend today about weight gain. He says he doesn't like to eat when it's hot outside, and though he doesn't each much in the summer he still seems to gain a lot of weight. So I asked him what he had yesterday.
Breakfast: 16 oz Frappucino (because it's cold) and a cinnamon bun.
Lunch: Too hot... not hungry... so a big gulp cola and a bag of chips. Oh. And the ice cream sandwich (because it's cold) and a chocolate bar because the heat was just sucking the energy out of him.
Mid day: A large orange juice (because it's healthy and it's cold).
Supper: Not hungry so, grabbed a teen burger, fries (small... I was so proud) and a chocolate shake (because it's cold).
Bedtime snack: A bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce (because it's cold). Okay, so it was two bowls....
I don't know how to help him regain his appetite. :(

I don't know which is sadder, if your friend knows about nutrition and chooses to eat like that or doesn't know and chooses not to learn. If he's a young guy he may be able to get away with what is basically a sugar diet for awhile, it it catches up with all of us eventually. As far as using heat as an excuse, I live in southern Arizona and my solution is air conditioning. On the bright side, a sugar diet is better than a beer diet in the heat. I've known a few people who go that route.

There's probably nothing you can do until he realizes what he is putting into his body. We all get it sooner or later! Some not at all. Best wishes for your friend.

wow.... u r making me hungry for all the things i can't have. :P LOL Um i think he might feel better making better eating choices. :/ I have to also ask the question how does this classify as not being hungry or not wanting to eat when it is hot? Seems like he is ingesting things alright. This is not an appetite issue. Nice glass of ice water would go further to cool him down. The caloric intake is mind-boggling for what I am currently used to. WOW! And unfortunately you will not be able to change his mind easily.

You won't convince him to do otherwise unless he decides to eat healthy. I see it all the time @ work. Like the person who used to ride with me went on some crazy "diet" ate shakes 2 meals, we'd stop on the way home most days at a Mexican store or aldis so she could get pork rinds, I'd buy some things some days, fruit, veggies, almond milk, other staples. Granted they are OK in limited amounts on a low carb plan but she would eat the entire big bag on the way home!!! She left the bag in my car one day It was more than 2000 calories. She decided her "diet" didn't work because she was gaining weight. MMMMMM
