Cambridge diet for my 17 year old stepson????

Right girls i need your help if i can. I have a nearly 17 year old steps son who at 5ft 8 is topping 19 stone. We only have him every other fortnight and have been trying to get his mother to see just how big he has become and try to get some healthy eating going. we do when he is here but then he just goes back to his usual routine as she has no interest in him at all. He came this weekend and I actually haven't seen him for a month as i was away and in the last 6 weeks i have lost 2st 9lb on the combridge diet. He has asked me if i can take him to the CD counsellor and he wants to go on the diet as he is so unhappy. Now we all know how hard it is and the everyday temptations are hellish and i am just concerened that he wont be able to fight his resolve and eat the rubbish she has in the house. And i am not there to help him. I have sat him down and talked him through the diet and how hard it is and what he has to do etc and he says he definately wants to do this and that he can phone me at any time and i will help. What do we rekon? Do we think it is a good idea him starting the diet? I don't have a problem with it except the support thing.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Hello

Hi Marce, I am Amy I am 23 year old and i have lost 2 stone 7 pound im very much near to my target now. In regards to your step son i would advise him to do the diet, and the support is necessary also id say maybe let him discuss it with his mum, with it been the easter holidays is there any chance he could stay the first 3 days with you as they are the hardest, see if he can deal with it?? My partner lost over 10 stone, but he did slimming world years ago and hes just loosing a quick stone now on cambridge,he asures me he would have used this when he started dieting at 19. Lets be blunt the cambridge diet wont kill him but letting himself get further overweight may contribute let him build some self confidence with a helping hand, Amy x
