I said to him that he should go the gym and eat healthily, but he insisted the diet was far better, and said my advice was nonsense.Then I looked up about this "bikini beach diet", and found it was called "Bikini Body Blitz", as seen here:http://www.thesun.co.uk/section/0,,2007160001,00.htmlI was sceptical when I read it, and spoke to my son about the diet plan, but he still kept on insisting it was far better than going the gym.He is still eating, but only at the amounts stated in the bikini diet plan. His diet's even become influenced by it.I then again spoke to my husband about it, but he said again "It's not a big issue, let the boy be himself!"I just can't understand why he would want to follow a bikini beach diet - I've asked him why, but he refuses to discuss it any more.I'm worried he's messing with something he doesn't understand, and that his health will be damaged. He said don't talk about it again, and that it wasn't any of my business and that he doesn't want to discuss it any more.This is worrying me a lot now. I tried reassuring him as often as I could, but he kept on saying that I was telling him nonsense.What should I do?? I've tried discussing it with my husband and he's taken no interest in it all.I feel like I have no-one to turn to and I'm worried I may become stressed trying to deal with it.Thanks for your help so far, Marie Reply to this Question

I am a 20 year old and I'm forever pushing my mother away when I do things - but when I mess up or need help on anything - I always go back to her. You just need to be there when he realizes the damage he's doing.Best of luck.
