Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss

Why I hate men!

My dear handsome husband was told, by his doctor, to lose weight.  The man told him, just reduce your carbs.

So in the last month, my husband is having FEWER carbs.  He cut out the cookies, soda, candy, and bready snacks.  At mealtimes, he has maybe one piece of bread.  No more chips between meals.

That's all -- No counting carbs, tracking calories or protein, none of that.

And he's dropped 9 pounds since New Year!!!

Leave it to a man to upstage a woman at her own game!


Grrrrrrrrrrrr

 Too hard to hide the bodies!

Though I bet they could be rendered into tasty low-carb snacks!

I can relate! I lose one pound to my husband's five....grrrr! I try to look at it this way - women are strong and persistent and we'll keep on our weight loss/health journey despite this inequity. I won't say all men would give up but I know many who would. At least I'm losing!!
Peace & Love, Donna K.

There are several things that just aren't fair to women and that is pretty high on the list :( but what can you do?

Paul, good thing you're across the pond or we'd come after you with a comment like that.  :)

I have the last laugh in my house.  I'm within close proximity to goal (25 lbs to go with plastic surgery done on 3/3 to remove 15-20 lbs of excess skin),  Yet now,  my doctor calls me skinny and tells my husband that he has to lose weight.
