ALIMENTARY, MY DEAR EVE - THE UPFRONT APPROACH
If you decide to play it straight, you know best how to deal with your husband.
Leaving this book lying around will probably take care of the whole problem.
The Back Door Approach
If you are unable to go Sneaky but feel that Upfront won't work for you, try what I call the Back Door Approach. Announce you are going on a new food plan for yourself. After he begins to lose weight on "your" plan, talk about his full cooperation.
Where to Start
Since this program is essentially in your hands, and I'm assuming you've gone the Sneaky or Back Door route, you can begin the plan any time you like. I suggest, however, that you not start within two weeks of a vacation or a holiday. Please give yourself, and your husband, every opportunity to achieve a victory. The best time is today—an ordinary day in your regular life. Give yourself two or three days to prepare, then commence. (The preparation is mostly observation and grocery shopping, combined with a Utile kitchen cleanup—you don't have to be cooking or memorizing food charts for three days.)
Start without fanfare; make as few pronouncements as possible. This is a time for action, not words. The steps are very simple: operation observation, kitchen cleanup, new grocery shopping, and it's faux gourmet all the way. The recipes at the back of the book will help you get started or you can experiment on your own.
Less Is More
This food plan has no gimmicky name or cutesy handle for you to remember it by because it's neither trick nor fad. It's safe, it's doctor-approved, and it works.
