Living with someone NOT on HCG

I live with my boyfriend who can eat anything and everything and never gain one pound. He complains sometimes that he WANTS to gain weight! On the other hand, if I even LOOK at a piece of chocolate I gain 10 pounds. Living with him is hard because he brings stuff in the house or he eats every 5 minutes and makes me want to too or I have to cook his meals and then end up taking a million bites before I even realize what I'm doing.

He’s very supportive of me beginning this diet and I’m sure he’ll be more cautious eating around me now, but I don’t want him to have to change anything because I am on a diet. I do want him to eat healthier and that is something that we are both working on and will go into full force once I complete HCG. But if he wants to have a yogurt at night, I’m all for it, even though I can’t.

Here are some of my tips for living with someone who is not on the HCG diet:

-          Prepare your meals in advance for both you and the non-HCG’er. Preparing in advance allows quick meals  for the week for both of you so that you aren’t grabbing anything in the fridge when you are starving. 

-        Prepare the same meals for the non-HCG’er and yourself, but add additional items for them. For example, we  can both have chicken and a veggie and then I can make a baked potato to add to round out his meal. 

-       Have them prepare their meal a couple nights a week. (My boyfriend is slow when it comes to anything in the kitchen, but I can walk him through easy recipes and we have fun with it!)

-        Have one of your veggies or fruits to snack on while you are preparing dinner if you mindlessly munch.  

 

     What are somethings that keep you on track when living with someone not on the diet? I'd love to hear some more tips and tricks! Hope everyone is doing fabulous :)
