My husband does all the cooking in our household. Glad they're trying to adopt better eating habits. It's so tough to stick with it. Hope they continue to have success with it.Debra @HappyRunningSolehttp://www.happyrunningsole.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177803444701995919.post-68741610092217113722016-06-14T19:49:07.402-04:002016-06-14T19:49:07.402-04:00How wonderful your son likes to cook -- and it goo...How wonderful your son likes to cook -- and it good at it! I love my fruits and veggies but had to purposefully add more protein to my diet when I really got into running. My husband does not eat healthy. Thankfully he goes to the gym and that helps some. I think there is a change of lifestyle switch that has to be flipped and unfortunately we can't do that for anyone but ourselves. Good luck with the experiment. I'll be interested in hearing what you final thoughts are and if your fellas liked the diet.

His house always smells like bananas & he has a whole cabinet dedicated to them.<br /><br />I don't think I could do this, personally. The no salt would really get me. And probably the lack of food group variety. I would be interested to see more posts on it as you go. And I think it's wonderful that you're hopping on board to help your son & husband. Just make sure to pay attention to your body if it keeps giving you bad signs. :)Jessie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217522564709638588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177803444701995919.post-46536498495668659882016-06-13T08:40:46.856-04:002016-06-13T08:40:46.856-04:00I can feel your pain about your husband & son....I can feel your pain about your husband & son. My husband was very thin when I met him, but he's not now, eats terribly, and doesn't exercise. He's exhausted all the time and breaths heavily from coming up the stairs.<br /><br />I know nagging won't work, he's got to want to change, and he has made some small changes this year, but he just doesn't think about what he eats. At all.<br /><br />I am very willing to try most types of diets, but my personal opinion is that any diet that restricts that many food groups isn't healthy in the long run. Most diets that are that restrictive do result in weight loss, but that's because you're simply eating less calories. And sometimes it's also because you're losing muscle, too, which is a very bad thing. Plus such diets are rarely sustainable.<br /><br />Good luck & be careful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177803444701995919.post-88486444184503437482016-06-13T08:14:10.299-04:002016-06-13T08:14:10.299-04:00That's great your son likes to cook.
