Do you help people account for family lifestyles and cooking for more than just themselves? I used to do 2-3 day fasts, but now that I’m married with kids I find it almost impossible to do so since I cook and prep all the meals.
I tried low carb and keto. It works fine for me, but selling my wife on a breakfast that consists of 6 eggs and a pound of bacon is a hard sell. So there’s always bread and pasta in the house, which makes it harder to resist.
- rich-cartwright 5y agoYep really good point about the family dynamics - lots of the Fellas talk about how having teenage kids around makes the dietary side really tough. How the coaching works in the program is that we dive in at the start to really understand the 1-3 key leverage points where we can make the most impact - then focus all our coaching time on these.
- MagicWishMonkey 5y agoMy wife is lifelong vegetarian, and I'm a big fan of keto. We've basically adapted to a "I make food for myself, she makes food for herself and we split responsibility for making food for the kids" workflow and it works out pretty well. It helps a lot that I do the grocery shopping, I try to avoid buying stuff that I'll be too tempted by - like regular carb tortillas or plain tortilla chips.
- rich-cartwright 5y agoKeeping food out of the house is a powerful behavioral device. It takes away the "Ability" part from the Fogg Behavior Model if you find that framework helpful.
