My husband has recently been describing how hungry he is. How do I control his eating as he also has moderate dementia. I don’t want him to put weight on as we eat healthily and decent sized portions. Are raw vegetables sufficient, do I need to hide food? Am at a loss.
Is your husband on any depression medication as it makes you hungry?
No, nothing has changed medication wise, for over a year.
Can he exercise more to counteract the extra food?
