This is probably the equivilent of banging my head against the wall as DH isn't very committed to the issue at this point, but I am stumped and need to do what I can to get DH healthier. He's had a series of health scares over the last week or two (yet another reason I haven't been around DC as much as I'd like ) and the doctor has advised him to 1-start exercising more and 2-loose 45 pounds. He's lost about 35 over the last couple years but he's really stalled out since the baby was born (I blame myself in part since I haven't been taking as much time to prepare meals as I used to).
Anyway, while he knows what he has to do and wants to be able to do it, he's frustrated and doesn't know how. He's had success with South Beach in the past but not recently. Plus, he has to have a lot of meals out for work and is really given a hard time by his co-workers if he only gets salads and not more "manly" food. The worst part of this is he HATES vegetables. He grew up eating canned ones so never developed a good taste for them. He refuses to try just about any of them so it's hard for me to come up with things he'll eat. Any advice?
In terms of exercise, which I know he needs more of since he has a desk job, he works at least 10 hours a day and when he gets home he wants to spend the little awake time he has with the baby. I'm leaving that issue up to him--I can't push him out the door to work out. But I want to support him however I can with his diet and could really use some suggestions. I'm about as frustrated as he is at this point!
