[quote=Anonymous]Dissenting post. I don't think "hiding" temptation foods temporarily is going to be what works for the long haul. Short-term, sure. But it's not reasonable in the slightest that your husband's entire universe can be temptation-free for the rest of this life. This is why diets fail for so many people, because they're a temporary weight loss strategy but too often don't do anything to change long-term habits that led to weight gain in the first place. What will work to make his journey sustainable is for him to recognize why and when he gives in to temptation foods and for him to learn how he can eat "bad" foods in moderation. I say this as someone who has watched her husband's weight yo-yo multiple times because of exactly that strategy (depriving himself of his temptation foods to "get the weight off" but not learning how to navigate the "real world" once he reached his goal weight).
