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?

CICO

The usual model assumes that "calories out" is constant. Sadly, the body will recognize a prolonged "starvation mode" (reduced daily caloric intake) and adjust. You may be able to cut for a few weeks, but you'll be cold and tired.

Instead, do IF and (clean) keto.

I know you're very opinionated and unlikely to change your mind on anything, but do notice that your perspective on nutrition is completely aligned with mainstream medicine, which doesn't even realize that t2 diabetes is curable.

lol Fail.

Of course T2 Beetus is curable. But low-impulsion control, self-entitlement and laziness are in the way.

Your perspective on CICO is still lined up with mainstream medicine. Each macronutrient has a meaningful impact on the metabolic pathways. Carbs spike insulin, which stores fat. If the body is in fat-storing mode, when it runs out of daily (short-term) calories, it will just shut things down to burn less, rather than tap into stored fat.

You don't have to be so hostile... just reconsider. Why is society moving towards worse and worse health, in so many ways? What is different about what and how [often] we eat from 50 years ago?

lol Fail again.

You don’t have to be so obtuse about what you think you know.
