Mentally disabled people are not able to think logically about things like dieting. They know that food tastes good, and they want it. It is hard for them to plan ahead and think that eating too much might make them fat. Think of them as very large toddlers, and you will get along better. If a toddler, or a mentally disabled person, needs to lose weight, the best way is just not to have extra food around. If they know the food is there, they will be unhappy and want it.
