Do not try to change him. Attempting to change your spouse is a recipe for marriage disaster.

Nagging him will only make him dislike you.

It's his body, his health, his decision. He is an adult. Leave him alone.

I say this because my husband is constantly trying to control me in all sorts of ways, large and small, and it makes me want to smother him in his sleep. Seriously. He has no idea how close I've come, many times. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, so angry at his efforts to "improve" me according to his notions of what I should be doing that it's all I can do not to start pummeling him.

The best way to get your husband to change is to leave him alone and set a good example. Follow your LC plan, have great success, keep your lips zipped about it, and let him see for himself what a great idea it is. (After all, if it's HIS decision to do it, he's much much more likely to follow through.)

But you have to accept the fact that he may NEVER EVER change to your eating plan. He may continue to stuff his face with pasta & chocolate for the rest of his life. He may just get fatter and fatter.

And it is absolutely his right to do so.
