Health nut fanatics

My brother and his wife have gone out of their minds! They buy all kinds of health food at the health food stores. Okay, I think it's good to buy some things there. But they go on these crazy diets.

For a few months, they drank a lot of carrot...

juice-- now they are into vegetables like crazy. But they don't eat right--they both look sick and undernourished. I've told them several times they have to eat foods from the food groups every day!

How can I get through to them? Any suggestions?

trick them!!! invite them over for dinner telling them its from that store and get them 2 eat your food!!! and then do there food shopping

No... You leave them alone. They're adults. If they get sick, they'll end up at the doctors who will tell them otherwise. If you continue to push, you'll end up pushing them away...

I suggest you look into nutritional counseling, which can be assessed and devised at home easily. you mentioned that they have to eat food from each food groups. thats a great start! You'll have to do some research. consider their social and medical issues. you'll have to assess what their daily average for servings of each food group is (based on a week), and of course provide a diet plan that will coincide with the recommended suggested servings provided by the Canada's Food Guide based on the age. ...its gets abit complicated, but their are many great resources online that provide instructions on how to devise a healthy and balanced diet plan...
