I've got two DC, after the birth of both I've found myself overweight. Both times I've gone on to a low carb high fat diet and lost loads of weight.
I've tried a lot of diets in my life and LCHF is the only on that's worked for me.
A few years ago my marriage broke down, I was stressed out, didn't focus on what I was eating and gained a lot of weight.
After divorce etc I met my lovely DP, I was already overweight when I met him but the endless dating / wining / dining we've been enjoying have meant me not pulling my socks up and sorting my diet out.
Anyway, DP likes to eat "healthy" and going to the gym. He thinks that if I want to lose weight I should do this to, which I've tried but it doesn't work for me.
I've said I'm gonna do the LCHF and tried to explain that I've done this is the past and that it's worked for me but every time I mention it he starts mansplaining to me why LCHF is an unhealthy, fad diet that doesn't work.
I need some ammunition now to really get him on board. Please can somebody help me explain it to him? Maybe by using YouTube links.
His main concerns are:
- Fat is bad for you
- Carbs are an important part of diet and should be enjoyed in moderation
- If you don't eat carbs you lose muscle and not fat
