Husband and weight loss.

[LovelyBath77]

I'm on a low carb diet. It is helping. However DH fails to understand it and keeps telling me I just need to at less.

So, I emailed his this video www.dietdoctor.com/become-fat-overeating-overeat-becoming-fat which explains why that is not the case. He relied, What's your point? So I told him, that it's not just about eating less. If he's not interested don't bother watching but stop telling me to eat less.

AIBU to feel cross about this?

Op I followed a very low carb diet for 5 days. Lost 4 lbs and I don't have a lot to lose so was surprised as I felt completely satisfied the whole time. Anyway,one month on and I've lost 2 more lbs but have reintroduced carbs after the 5 days, just less and healthier ones plus NO SNACKING apart from occasional 5/6 brazil nuts. Any diet that restricts food groups will restrict cals and cause weight loss. I will use this again when I need to kick start or lose a few pounds in a hurry. Good luck OP, maybe your DH feels threatened or jealous, does he need to lose weight too?

Tbh I find the whole low carb thing a fad, nobody ever keeps the weight off cutting out carbs. So I kind of agree with your husband on this, sorry!

It's a good a way of losing weight as any sponge , keeping it off is just as hard with any diet. But, i found it a good lick start and didn't feel hungry. Haven't put weight lost back on. It did reset what I think a carb portion should be (fist size)

kick not lick!

and I have tiny hands

It sounds like you'll do better not sharing information with him. He should not bring home a load of junk carbs when he knows you are trying to eat fewer of them and he will know they are not great for anyone even thin people.

He is right that eating very little loses weight but for many people you are doing what works better - eating still fewer calories but feeling fuller by eating less often and eating good high fats.

People differ however. Some can easily just eat lerss. My very very thin - 9 stone 6 footer for example (son) tries so hard to put weight on but is just not that interested in food. He will come back from school and say he didn't have time for lunch and it just was not an issue. he'll have Easter chocolate in the house for 4 months and never think of eating it all.

He is thin, he does have a bit of an issue with other-eating junk food though...then in penance fasts through the week. I don't want to have that kind of a thing with food.

It was him bringing it up on the first place- I don't comment on what he's eating even if it is crisps, choc and wine. I'm not the food police.

I have lots a stone and a half so far since Christmas. Today I haven;t eaten yet and not hungry. So think it is working...

Just tell him to shut up

A stone and a half since Christmas is huge. I never lose more than half or a pound at most a week ever in my whole life.

I had put on half a stone at Christmas though! He's still grumpy and not talking to me. I thunk it is showing up how rubbish the food he eats is to be honest and he doesn't like that. Anyway, onwards and upwards- I can do this in my own and am not even tempted by the sweeties etc- he is welcome to them.
