I hope I'm not the only one here with a hubby on SBD.
Mine is driving me nuts. He wants to do the diet, and I believe him, but he doesn't put one bit of effort into it. He was feeling groggy yesterday, and woke up the same way today. Why? My guess is that he simply doesn't eat enough.
Case in point: Yesterday for lunch I wasn't feeling particularly hungry, so instead of preparing a lunch per se, I just threw together a bunch of SBD friendly stuff. A chocolate ricotta thingy, celery with Laughing Cow, some smoked salmon, and a hard boiled egg.
Hubby munches on a can of tuna and a hard boiled egg. He weighs about 50 pounds more than me - much of it muscle mass, not fat - and works out HARD at the gym every day or two. Comparatively, he eats as much as or less than I do every day on this diet. Why? He gets bored with the food, and unless I prepare something for him and stick it in front of his face, he tries to get by with just snacking out of the fridge. About the most difficult thing he'll make on his own is a salad, and that's only if we have the bag lettuce that's washed & cut.
He hasn't read the books and relies on me to put information in front of his face about what to eat and what not to eat. In fairness, he did go grocery shopping with me and very much got interested in reading the nutrition contents of various items. But when it comes to actually preparing a somewhat interesting meal, he simply can't be bothered. Then he complains that the diet is "boring" and gets crabby because he's weak from not eating enough. Yesterday he told me that he wanted to get rid of the dogs (we just got a puppy who he LOVES), move to Europe (we just bought our dream house), and that the Christmas tree was bothering him. How the h#@# can a Christmas tree BOTHER someone?
Man-oh-man, what did he do before he had me to feed him?!?
