First, Carb "Smart" has high fructose corn syrup in it. This sucks. People should quit buying it, keep complaining to Breyers, and start complaining to the stores that carry it. It is deceptive. HFCS makes many people crave carbs.

Second, consider a two prong stategy:

1. Start slipping him low carb foods so that he realizes there is not necessarily much change. Dana Carpender's 500 cookbook is good. An extreme example: we had a friend who just basically quit cooking for her husband. She would put toast in the toaster and say "Here." But that was about it. This went on for 2 weeks and he figured he could eat better if he converted. (Also, he spouse was losing weight and getting to be a hottie so he figured he better switch.) He then went on Atkins.

2. If he raises the subject, consider saying "Yeah, that topic gets discussed frequently on low carb websites. (I would refrain from pointing out that you started this thread!) It happens, I guess, when one spouse loses a bunch of weight. I would continue to love you even if you did lose a bunch of weight."
