Have you thought about possibly switching diet plans? If your hubby has a hard time giving up certain foods, enough that he won't stick to Atkins, why not try Carbohydrate Addicts? It allows for some "bad carbs" each day while still giving the benefits of a low carb diet. Not one plan is for everyone. WHile Atkins is a great plan.....if your hubby won't stick to it....it's may not be good for him. YOu can still stick to atkins even if he changes plans. They eat two "atkins type" meals a day and on their third have a "reward" along with the atkins type foods. Just a thought.
