Too bad it work for you also.

You believe their claims?  Your choice.  I don't.  My choice.

Ah.  A child when it comes to food.  Not your job to push him
into growing up!

My husband was like that.  He grew up in a bakery!  Then, as a single
guy, he lived for years on PB&J, Kraft macaroni & cheese, and other
crap - almost no real food.  I dunno how he didn't die of malnutrition
the decades before I met him.

He still eats some crap, but he eats a lot more real food than he used
to.  It's sorta been gradual over time.  If I haven't offered him a
salad lately, sometimes he even asks for one.

When my daughter was little, I discovered I could get her to eat
veggies by hiding them under cheese sauce.  Didn't work for hubby.
But... soy sauce with fresh ginger and garlic work.  Basically,
anything I fry with fresh ginger and garlic and top with soy sauce,
he'll eat.  One of his favorite foods now is my hamburger/cabbage
stirfry.  Probably gets more vitamin C in a dinner I cook than he did
in a month when he was single.  ;)

I've also discovered he's more *lazy* about food than anything else.
Like... he doesn't think of eating until he's hungry, then just goes
looking for something fast.  So I keep a bowl of fruit on the table -
apples, bananas, pears... stuff I know he likes.

I do buy junk food for him too, and he's not eating anything like an
ideal diet, but it's miles better than when we married.  Sometimes, he
actually *chooses* good food over junk, of his own free will and
everything.  ;)

He complained a while back that my famous butterscotch zucchini cake
that he's loved for years was too sweet!  Bahahahaha!  Man grew up on
leftover cake and finds a *vegetable* based cake too sweet.  I love it.
Heh.

I am gradually tricking him into eating better.  ;)

Breakfast, I mostly eat my hot flax cereal, some cottage cheese, some
fruit.  He usually eats some prepackaged cereal or freezer waffles and
sometimes some fruit.

If I'm actually cooking breakfast, it's some sort of meat, some sort of
eggs, and I just add some toast for him.  Like maybe a cream cheese and
chive omelet, or a sausage and cheese quiche or a veggie frittata or
whatever.  The main thang is not starchy and he can have some starch on
the side.

Lunch, he usually does nukable leftovers or a sandwich, I do a salad.

He will not eat nearly as much volume of produce as I do nor nearly the
variety.  Since  I'm not willing to never eat artichokes again...  I
plan veggies mostly based on what I want.  If it's something he'll eat
too, fine.  If not... I buy a lot of those flavored noodle and rice
packs that cook in 10-15 minutes.  When I'm fixing veggies he doesn't
like, I make him some noodles or rice as his side dish and just have
the veggies myself.

It's really not that different than cooking dinner pre low-carb... I
still cook meat, veggies and a starch.  Just fewer casserole-type
things cause the starch isn't going on *my* plate.

He's recently become enamored of my low-carb pizzas.  I consider it a
meal when I'm too tired or busy to actually cook, not "real" cooking,
but he's gotta hooked on them.  Basically, I take a low-carb tortilla,
put it in a cast-iron skillet, throw on a bit of sauce and a bunch of
cheese then cover with pepperoni and throw in the oven for 10 minutes
until it melts... the tortilla crisps up like an extra-thin crust.  He
asked me if I could make some "good" ones... with mushrooms and onions
and bell peppers and stuff.  Heh.  Asking for vegetables!  Gotta love
it.  ;)
