DH is starting Atkins

[toastythemosty]

My DH had previously been on Atkins and lost 26 pounds. He could just about fit into a size 34 jeans, but he grew bored and gained all the weight back. He tried it again later and just couldn't stick with the eating plans. I told him to get a mental picture of the most grossed out beer belching belly that he could imagine when he sinks his teeth into a pizza, etc. so he won't want to eat bad stuff. Mental preparation always works for me, without it, I could never eat clean. So he is going to try it again which really should be soooo easy for him to do since I do the grocery shopping and I eat clean. I will be making his breakfast and lunch because I really want to see him succeed. It will be up to him to not cheat at work and not sneak for a snack in the evening.
Now we will be able to workout together again.

I like your last sentance. You're right. I read an article that said Diet and Exercise is 90% mental. It takes your mind to train and to diet. Keep your focus and see results!

That's great Charlotte!! I wish I could get my DH to go on Atkins. I think it would be good for him because he loves meat and fatty proteins. I really want to hear how it goes!
