Healthy dinners that the hubby will like.

Portion control. Portion control.

You can eat whatever you want, just make sure your portions contain less calories than your body burns in a day. In other words, take in less calories than you expend each day. It does take some willpower but once you see the weight coming off, the motivation to lose becomes stronger.

I lost 30 lbs. over 6 months by measuring calories using an app called My Fitness Pal. Do you have a smartphone? If so, this might be the ticket for you. I've gained back 5 lbs. of it over the past 11 months but my original goal was to lose 24 lbs. so I'm still within my parameters.

My wife has tried to lose weight by going on diets. The problem is that she made "healthy" foods that no one else in the family wanted to eat. I bet your husband doesn't want to go on a diet, so make what you usually make, you just have to eat less of it than you are now.

 

Internet is your friend. There are oodles of recipe web sites with low calorie recipes.

 

Can you go another way and do some walking .....with the husband or if not, I personally find walking is great in that you can talk to God and more importantly hear what is said to you....

Ooops it is probably a tad warm in your neck of the woods.....my feet and hands are frozen here.....

 

I suspect I would be arrested for indecency should I hoola in public :laugh:

 

What things does he like? How are they unhealthy? What things does he dislike?
Some people eat healthy/ unhealthy in vastly different ways, so that may help with ideas.

 

You should " In morning eat like a king, in afternoon eat like average person and at night eat like a beggar" and you will loose weight in no time :wavey:

 

This is great advice to live by. People tend to skip breakfast and then eat too much in the evenings. You need to change your way of eating and the weight will literally fall off. Drink lots and lots of water and if you can get some walking in that would be great even it if is only for 15-20 mins. a day.

 

take 6-8 large potatoes
a package of onion soup mix
grease a Pyrex pan with oil or Pam cooking spray or it's equivalent
slice the potatoes. After this our some oil into the dish you the potatoes are in and coat them. Place the potatoes in the dish 1 layer at a time. As you do this sprinkle/pour the onion soup mix onto the potatoes. Bake at 400* for 25 minutes turn over and stir the potatoes and ad some of the soup mix. Bake another 10-15 minutes. This goeswell with anything.

 

As someone above said, portion control is everything. I would suggest looking into "My Fitness Pal" for the both of you. Make sure that you mark down absolutely everything you eat and accurately. I would look into buying more vegetables. Eating healthy is not as expensive as we'd like to believe. There are plenty of healthy options, we just don't want to choose them. I wish the both of you the best of luck!

 

I like chicken tenders. Take a package 1.75 lbs to 2.225 lbs of Chicken tenderloins cut out the white strip in the tenderloin, combine an egg you've whisked, along with milk We use 5 oz cans of milk. combine Italian bread crumbs with dried parmesan cheese, dip the chicken strips in the wet ingredients, then dip them in the dry ingredients, after melting a stick of butter, baste of sides of the chicken with it, spray a pyrex dish with a non stick spray and bak in the oven for 25 minutes, turn the chicken over and bake another 15-17 minutes.

 

It's a struggle getting my husband to eat healthy as well!!
I try and make meals for him with lots of veggies. He LOVES chicken stir fry.
I just sautee the chicken breast and then add onions, peppers, zuchinni, brocolli, mushrooms.
Then I add teriyaki sauce and let it simmer for about ten minutes.
Serve over brown rice.
It's amazing. Easy and simple. Best thing about it is you can use whatever veggies you have on hand. Hope you enjoy
