Hi TentativeConnection,
My h's doctors, and I, have tried to appeal to my h to change his diet, but he is not very willing to do it. He doesn't have very good self-control when it comes to eating. He says that eating is about the only thing he has left that he enjoys, so he is going to eat what he wants to. He doesn't believe changing his diet would make that much difference. It wouldn't get rid of his bipolar or his disease that is making his back fuse or his blown out disks, etc. I know it might help his heart, though, and maybe his kidneys. But he is pretty stubborn when it comes to food. His mom was very poor growing up and raised him to put a great emphasis on food. He uses it for comfort.
