Last week I asked for some advice about helping my DH lose weight on modified Atkins. He needed to lose inches quickly so he could wear his kilt to a 50th birthday party this week (at which carbs would also be invited, but that's another story!). I got some great advice from people here which was very useful.
He hasn't weighed himself rigorously, so I don't know quite what he lost, but it must be something in the region of 7 pounds. He lost 2" from his waist. In fact now his business suits are hanging off him and he is regretting having got rid of all his size 36" pants.
I never put him on Induction, and as he travels a lot and eats hotel food when away, it's probably not possible. He just avoided the white stuff, although I was unhappy that he didn't drink enough water. He is drinking more than he did, anyway.
He had been saying after the party he would go back to desserts (he is Scottish and has a sweet tooth made worse by the wonderful baked goods they go in for up there). However, he must be feeling great, because he rang home last night and I asked him what he had been eating. Steaks, veggies, no potato, no bread, and he had eggs and bacon, no toast, for breakfast. He passed the test!!! We went on a country ramble (lots of uphill, exhausting) on Sunday last and ate nuts and cheese for snacks, and I expected him to moan (no cookies!!!), but he was fine.
Sorry if I sound so obsessive about this, but if he does take on low carbing as a sensible way of eating/living, it makes it easier for me as well!!!!
Thanks to all who gave advice!
