How to get teen to eat right?
Just wondering if anyone else has this type of situation or experience. My 16 yr old stepdaughter was recently diagnosed with PCOS, and the nutritionist recommended we do The Zone or South Beach. We picked South Beach since I already follow that plan most of the time. She is also a vegetarian, but not the right kind if you get my meaning. She won't eat meat and that's fine, but she also tends not to really eat vegetables either. Mostly white bread, crackers, chips, etc. - the type of vegetarianism that a couple of her friends follow too. Anyway, I think she was hoping for a non-dietary solution b/c she has resisted changing her eating habits even if I don't buy the stuff she eats. She just brings her own stash for the weekend. I'd just like any suggestions on how to coax her into eating better. I know she has to make the effort, but is there any way to light that fire?
