vdanskNever, EVER go on a diet with your husband.
I've been eating junk food (and dark chocolate, which is healthy!) for about a month now, until my body finally rebelled. So I went on one of those "cleansing" programs that are supposed to fill you with energy while removing 3 pounds a day.
It doesn't. Either.
I have suffered along while my body demanded fruit, vegetables, and essentially nothing else. Total weight loss: 2 pounds.
My husband, who has never been a heavy man, and who is supplementing this diet with decent portions of protein, lost 14 1/2 pounds in 2 days. And a full waist size. Had to make another hole in his belt to keep his pants up.
There's a lesson in here somewhere....
