My husband and I started the South beach diet about 1 week ago. The only reason why iam doing the diet is for support .He needs to loose about 25 pounds and I have already met my desire weight lost which was only 5 pounds .Ive been cheating the diet behind his back to maintain my weight (I really dont want to become a stick person) lol . And yesterday he found my hidden stash of goodies , he joked about about it and teased me . But now he wants to ditch the diet , and start going back to his old habits. He said its not fair , how can I encourage him to stay on it ... hes lost 4 pounds already...And his serving portions are pretty big and he enjoys them , but its the sweets that are his weaknesses ?

Lose your stash and eat healthy with him, just larger portions to maintain your weight. Save the goodies for when you are out of the house and he is not around.

Many diets do not work, or they work for the short term but then you bounce back and quickly increase your weight back to what it was. Basically you need to boost his metabolism so that he burns off excess weight before he puts it on.
Sugar cravings can be helped with using chromium picolinate as a nutritional supplement and sugar sounds to be his failing. Your best bet is to see a nutritional therapist and get them to help organise some treatment for both of you. It sounds as if you both could be eating healthier, especially if by goodies you mean cakes and sweets.

It relies upon on what you recommend by using terrible. If that's only standard arguments, you experience like he's no longer listening or assembly your desires or something, attempt honestly conversing. If that doesn't artwork, you should flow to couple's counseling. in spite of the undeniable fact that, if by using terrible you recommend that your husband has develop into abusive, then divorce is what's needed. ask your self those questions. Is he jealous or possesive? Is he bossy or stressful? Does he attempt to isolate you by using stressful you decrease off relationships with family members and/or friends? Is he violent or does he lose his temper promptly? Does he attempt to rigidity you sexually? Does he abuse drugs or alcohol? Does he blame you for his emotional state or attempt to clame which you're responsible for his abusive habit? Have any of your kinfolk or friends expressed any undertaking? Do you frequently undertaking how he will react to something you're saying/do? Does he make "jokes" that disgrace you, the two privately or around family members/friends? Does he continuously save music of the place you go and whilst? Does he ever accuse you of being untrue or of flirting? Does he continuously criticize or belittle you? Does he thoroughly administration the funds and rigidity you to account for each little thing you spend? (it incredibly isn't comparable to clever cooperative finance administration). Does he destroy or take your very own assets or sentimental products? Does he threaten you, your little ones, or pets? Has he ever harm you bodily? If any of this sounds common, go away! Get to a girl's safeguard or a pal, or something! And get that divorce, and ideally a restraining order! in spite of the undeniable fact that, like I pronounced, if he's no longer abusive, then you truly only choose couple's counseling.

Have you considered working out? If he starts working out 3 or 4 times a week he will lose weight and his base metabolism will increase meaning he could eat slightly bigger portions. Also as the fat gets converted to muscle your base metabolism rate goes up as muscle takes more calories to maintain than fat does.
