Dieting
My husband and I just got into an argument about dieting. He thinks that to lose weight, you should starve yourself. That you should go a day or two without eating and then eat a little and repeat. I tried to explain to him that any doctor, nutritionist, or other health expert will tell you that you reduce your calorie intake and eat 5 small meals a day rather than three large meals a day. I showed him articles, even offered to call my doctor. He refused to talk to the doctor and ignored the articles that say a healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week. He pointed to ads that said things like "I Lost 50 lbs in 4 weeks" and said, "Well, if it isn't true, how can they sell it?" I tried to explain that the FDA doesn't have to approve dietary supplements, so they can sell whatever they want. I don't know how I'm going to lose weight with someone who isn't supporting me. I just want to give up. Maybe I should just stay fat.
