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?

Why did you talk about eating wood?

Humans don’t eat wood, so using that argument to make a point completely discredited you, in that regard. You got triggered by what I said about your wife and try to make excuses for her bad life decisions. That’s ok. You should directly talk to her instead of asking strangers online.

When I say CICO, I’m talking about human eating edible food.You can’t outrun a bad diet, no matter how healthy or not the food is.

Because it has caloric content, but your body can't access it.

I'm not OP.

It's still not true. You can eat 2,000 calories worth of sugar and carbs every day and gain weight while eating the same calories as fat and you will not. CICO assumes humans can digest, absorb, and utilize all foods equally efficiently. That is false.

So there's no point is bringing this to make a point.

all edible foods equally efficiently.

That is false.

That isn't, unless you take specific allergies and intolerance into account.

On average, if a person eats more calories than their body daily need and don't exercise, they will get fat.

You can deny it all you want.

Again, that is patently false. I'm talking about edible food. You can easily get fat eating 2,000 calories a day of high-carbohydrate foods and vegetable oils. You cannot and will not get fat eating 2,000 calories of foods with no carbs and high in saturated fats. End of story. The metabolic pathways are different. Your body cannot store fat as fat the way it can store carbohydrates as fat.
