Need help for hubby again.
He's been diagnosed with depression (medicated for more than a year now) and has always had a big appetite (going back to a tough childhood) and I worry about his emotional eating which has been worse lately. He's mostly stuck to the Keto diet (his belly exploded when he dared eat some chocolate) but the AMOUNT he eats concerns me.
For example; instead of a handful of nuts, he will eat a 200g bag in one sitting. He will eat a 500ml live yoghurt in one go and he's been putting 3-4 pieces of fruit in his lunch box and not much else. Before Keto he'd eat a big dinner, 6 bags of crisps and still be "hungry".
He does need to lose weight (as do I), but his Hbwhateverc has come down from 54 to 47 and we don't want it to go back up.
I know he's struggling mentally atm and like most men doesn't want to talk about it, though I do encourage him to. I don't want to nag him, or keep telling him to stop eating. How can I support him?
