Getting your Husband's on the Beach

I have had great success on this diet. I have lost 15 lbs since the beginning of November and feel great. My husband is significantly overweight and does not like to discuss his eating habits, etc. Even when I express my concerns about his health and being around for our four children he becomes defensive.

I want to approach him about doing this program with me. I'd like to start back on PI after the holidays and thought it would be great to do it together.

He has not passed much remarks on my weight loss. But he has been supportive regarding meals, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how they approached their significant others about this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi leitrim,


It sounds like a delicate issue, since he's been defensive about it.

Since you have a family, have you been making family dinners/meals that are SBD-friendly for all of you to enjoy together?
