Add more meat if he really likes it,l but slowly cut the amount of meat and potatoes, by cooking 2 different types of vegetables and serving a salad as often as possible. Give it a try, I’m sure you’ll like the results. |

| esolaro 9 years ago | Hi, Kimyork5. I do half an hour of calisthenics a couple of times a week (I target my upper body and core). I find cycling a great alternative to running, especially when my Achilles told me I wasn’t going to run any more. (I was surprised it took that long.) However, it is more expensive. Walking is also excellent, and if your back is up to it, you can always put some water bottles in a pack. (Back in the day, I’d stuff 50 pounds of books, weights and canned food in my pack.) Re: your husband. You should check with Ossie (our nutritionist), but you may be able to give your husband larger portions of foods you prepare for yourself. |
 kimyork5 9 years ago | I have tried so many different ways to lose weight. Doing the calorie counting and exercise was somewhat working, but I developed shin splints and ended up gaining all my weight back, once again. I completed the menu part, and not sure how this is going to work with my family. I noticed you eat more during the day, but the meals are small. My husband only eats 2 meals a day, so it looks like I will still be cooking big meals that I will not be able to eat. Will see…got 60 days to try this plan. |
