High BP, high cholesterol, fatty liver, borderline diabetes, and of course the scale didn't lie. That is all he needed for his wake up call - and I'm so happy and relieved.
The changes he's made:
1) zero snacking, especially after dinner with his back and forth trips to the kitchen
2) cut way back on carbs. He's eating mostly eggs for breakfast, salads with chicken for lunch and a small portion of nuts. and dinner is another protein with a side of veggies.
3) upped his water intake by quite a bit
4) finally started using the Peloton I bought him a year ago - he is on it every day now!
Anyhow just wanted to brag a little, and say how proud I am of him
Just say it to him. I don't know how posting this helps anyone else
Aww, that's a negative reaction and not true. The OP's post is helpful to others.
Guess I am the outlier than but, this isn't motivational to me. Glad it is helpful to some.

I do say it to him, daily. I shared it here because this is a diet forum and there are many people here who are struggling with this exact thing. I thought it would be encouraging.

Inspiring! Good for him!

Snacking really was his downfall. Just the constant back and forth. Amazing how those calories add up! Handful of nuts here, slice of cheese there, couple of chips....before you know it you've just consumed an extra 400 calories.

My diabetes disappeared!
Good for you!! So happy to hear your results
