Just married recently. 30-year old trad wife.

Knows she’s needs to lose weight and get back in shape. She’s 5’7” and delightfully curvy (the good kind). Usually she’s around 130 with her DD’s and booty which is great.

Lately she’s gotten kind of down with things and she put on about 15lbs which she wants to lose.

She really wants to lose it but I think she gets too down on herself and too embarrassed to even go to the gym. So she distracts herself, doesn’t plan the gym in, and then get more down on herself and the cycle repeats.

I too need to lose a few lbs but for me it’s easy to just get in the gym and start hammering it out especially because I work for myself and set my own schedule.

I’m brand new to this married thing so I don’t know how to help guide her and lead her as her husband without making her feel bad and end up causing more harm than good.

Do any of you married men have any advice for me?

I'm a big supporter of keto BUT it's a PITA to maintain. As good as and much more realistic is to stick with a low carb diet, ie. < 30 g carbs a day. The weight stays off, you never have sugar cravings, and when you're out for dinner and want to enjoy pizza and a beer with the rest of the gang it's not a big deal.

If OP's wife was a 300 pd junk food addict then I would be pushing keto. But on low carb she'll drop those 15 pounds in no time, and keep them off. That's one of the really great things about low carb: It quickly becomes self-reinforcing.

Interestingly the original keto research done on the Inuit in the early 1900s found that they would constantly slip in and out of ketosis. This was when they were still on their traditional diet.
