[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1260100, member: 17713"] I think on a longer term basis if you stick to your lower carbs he will see the benefits and change himself. May take a while though. My hubby never knew portion control or lower carbs.. We just ate different sized portions (me off a tea plate) and him a big (normal) plate. Then, finally he changed.. The thing that made him change is that I had it suggested to me that I needed to have bread and cereal, porridge etc... I put on two stone in the 6 months I did this. I stopped as it was causing me troubles... My weight dropped off again. I had always been a size 8-10 but he saw me balloon and then shrink again. He started to change. He lost 4st and has kept it off for 4 years now. He sees the efforts I have to make to eat as my health nose dived due to other factors. He appreciates rhat I struggle to eat 100g peeled cucumber, 50g avocado and max 1/2 tin of cucumber on a tea plate. He now eats his meals with me on a tea plate too. We do shopping lists together, he does 99% of the shopping as I hate seeing food that I can no longer eat... My current eating is different to your scenario but I really do think that he may well come round and change himself eventually when he sees the benefits you are getting.. When I could eat fat I enjoyed a cream eclair as a treat and at 19 carbs for a treat it was nothing as a weekly treat. Far nicer than a takeaway for me. Keep your own individuality and keep the benefits in your mind...it took my hubby about 15 years to change-lol!! I never lectured him, he never levtured me. He has always supported me to do whats right for me... [/QUOTE]
