[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 1701119, member: 430576"] When I stared low carb a work colleague practically tried to force me to eat chocolate cake. After my third no, I started to get cross, but it did make me wonder what the phycology was about forcing food or drink on someone. Is it because you are not the same they think either you are not joining in? Or that if you succeed you will somehow become different? My husband is kind but a bit blinkered and to get through to him usually I have to be very forceful and rude. After a year of LCHF he has just about go it. I do not eat meat so I eat a lot of quorn and soya mince, I make a batch that last two meals, then I can just add veg. I use oomi noodles in a stir fry with plenty of veg. Soya veg burgers and quorn burgers are good quick low carb swops. You know your wife best, but I would ask her baldly, do you want me to be ill, or what do you want? Because if I eat all this I will eventually be ill. I find a direct question may cause conflict but it may also make them think about what they are doing and why. [/QUOTE]
