Wegovy diet how to keep DH healthy.

[justasking111]

I'm so confused. DH hasn't told me he's taking wegovy I accidentally found it but is telling me about his special dietary needs. If a vegetable grows underground it's bad, as are salads. As is any dairy, as is bread, pasta. Red meats.

I've been really struggling shopping within these parameters. Honestly I'm worried is this a balanced diet because he'll eat fish and have rice. Will eat ryvita.

I can't live like this so we're cooking different meals

He's googled all this and believe me you can't argue with him.

AIBU to think it's not a well balanced diet or should I butt out.

He has lost a stone and is ticked off his mates haven't noticed, I've tried to explain when you're five stone over weight the first stone isn't very dramatic m

Well, you don't have to cater for him.

This is his diet, his choice to be so restrictive, he can shop and cook his own food.

I bet he quickly backtracks on these restrictions when it's him who is responsible for the prep.

He doesn't need to be so picky, calorie deficit and wegovy, he'll lose the weight he wants

Are you his chef?

His restrictions are ludicrous.

Tell him, his diet, his responsibility, and start cooking yourself normal meals, if he doesnt eat what is cooked then he sorts his own.

Sorry but I cant help think of this guy;
Fish and Rice Cakes - YouTube https://share.google/YbIeEaNI6XioaJnal

who has done amazingly well to give credit; but ye sorted his own food out!

Why are you making food for him?

Leave him to it if he wants to be so specific!

I. On wegovy and there isn't a diet. Those are his own rules. Let him sor5 out his own food.

He needs to order his food shop and cook his food.
Up to him to share his recipes meal plan for next week and you can tell him what youwould like and enjoy to share a meal with him sometimes

Tuesday i will eat fish with you
Wednesday i am eating xxx so you do you

I’d say that’s the opposite of what he needs to be eating. He needs protein and all veg. Next to no carbs.

Anyone who says you can't eat salad or underground vegetables isn't worth listening to. Dairy and red meat is also fine as part of a balanced diet. Bread and pasta are less essential but it's up to him to manage the inconvenience of his dietary restrictions not you.

He is cooking his own meals tonight it's tuna, herbs and garlic.

I just worry about his restrictions ie dairy because of calcium. He thinks all fats are bad so has banned them for himself.

If this is how he behaves, YOU cannot keep him healthy. It's on his own head.

Keeping his drug use secret is a bit of a worry. Was he really going to pretend any weight loss was down to his ridiculous faddy eating?

"I've been really struggling shopping within these parameters."
Just stop. Let him shop and 'cook' for himself. If he wants to follow the Conspiracy Theorist's Diet, let him crack on. Concentrate on yourself for a change.

Oh, and let him know you've found the wegovy, so you know he hasn't found any superdiet (or willpower). He sounds the type to spread fake-news-about-weight-loss and I would not be putting up with THAT.

I've been really struggling shopping within these parameters.

Stop then.

He can either go shopping himself, or he can sort an online delivery.

And he can suffer any consequences of an unbalanced diet, although lots of people don't eat dairy, so a dairy free diet is not necessarily unhealthy.

Why have you decided this is your issue to fix?
let him crack on.
I’ve been on MJ for 18 months, I haven’t needed any amendments for my evening meals except I just eat smaller portions, they are and always were healthy. I now don’t snack between means on empty calories that have little to no nutritional value and because we always have carbs with dinner I just tend to avoid them during the day. That’s it.

Yeah dudes got real,issues, either he’s an eating disorder or he really is poorly educated on food and has no idea what he’s doing. As even young kids know how to eat healthy. And it’s not that ridiculous diet. Salads are bad?

Well considering his wife's reaction to him losing a stone was "isn't dramatic....."

His diet doesn't sound great, to be honest, but if he's determined to stick to it, there's not much you can do. If you're worried about calcium, you can suggest supplements. He may be getting calcium from some of the foods he does eat.

Ultimately, it's up to him to be responsible for this own diet choices and health. If you've made your worries clear and he won't listen to reason, it's time to step back and set your own ground rules. He can eat what you cook or he can fend for himself. If he requests foods or dishes that you'd happily eat yourself, you can accommodate that from time to time, but when it comes to the weird 'requirements', he can eat around what you cook or continue to prepare something himself. If you're the one who does the shopping, I'd pick up items he puts on the list, but I wouldn't plead with him to try some of this or that (like a picky toddler who doesn't eat vegetables) or prepare two different menus to cater to his odd diet choices.

He's a grown adult, why are you fussing about and pandering to him?

I’d suggest he do his own shopping.

He’s an adult and if he’s believing some
ridiculous information as to how a healthy and nutritious diet looks, that’s on him.

If he has to do the work to eat this way,
he’ll soon change his mind.

Where does he think garlic grows?

Didn't he go through a phase of eating loads of meat, a few years back? He seems to have a pretty disordered relationship with food and I agree with others that you shouldn't be the one trying to make it work.

This all started when he had a check up at the doctor's three months ago. He was fit for his age 75. But fat and his cholesterol was a bit high so she put him on statins. He's been to pharmacy for WL drugs. Hasn't told me he's lost a stone but told son. I haven't let on I know because it's his info to tell. I just don't want him getting ill.

He's got it into his head that his weight loss will be spectacular and very fast and in six months those five stone will be gone. He's very touchy about his hair loss especially on the top of his head he's a few strands left up there. He wearing white t-shirts to show off his tan. He's getting vainer with age.
