So, I've been on and off SW since 2010, great plan, I know it works and I'm now on plan for my wedding in May. However, my partner keeps moaning about his belly and wanting to lose weight. I know SW would work for him, if he could cut out all the other crap that he eats, especially the crisps in the evening.
However, in typical bloke fashion he claims to be able to do it himself, by cutting out meals! The problem is this I follow mainly red/SP. Now he doesn't eat fish, chicken, lamb or ham. He will eat beef mince, diced beef in casseroles, roast beef, burgers, sausages, pies. He won't eat the quorn pieces, we tried, its the texture.
So this is the problem I face, I'm quite happy and able to send him to work with SW friendly lunches, either wholemeal sandwiches with reduced fat cheese and salad, or a few bits of bread and a tin of beans (they have a toaster and microwave). But in terms of evening meals, as you can see it is somewhat limited.
I know he likes the SW meatballs cos we had those before, we have yet to try the burgers and sausages but they could become a lifesaver and good substitute man food! I have never done green days, I don't even have any of my old books, but I'm wondering whether with his distaste of meat and fish, if I should go more down a green route, or pasta based dishes for him. I just don't want to end up cooking 3 different meals, as I've got two kids and I don't eat potato, pasta, rice etc!
If anyone has any dinner suggestions, vegetarian really, that would be fab x
