Why support?
* the obvious answer is because you love them
* however there is “something in it for you” as well
o a friend/spouse/partner with more energy
o a friend/spouse/partner potentially happier
o a friend/spouse/partner who is healthier and may go to the doctor less often
o a friend/spouse/partner who may want to engage in more activities with you
Examples of how to be supportive:
* Support their Food Choice
o Asking which foods they would like purchased or NOT purchased
o if you share the cooking duties, learn how to cook their plan
* Allowing time for exercise session and reasonably accommodating it
o If it takes taking on additional responsibilities (cooking, laundry, taking care of the children alone, grocery shopping), do it
o the time you give for success should reap you rewards
* Being interested but not intrusive on progress or the plan
o you are not the weight loss police
o don’t make the weight loss the only focus of the relationship
o don’t routinely ask “how much weight have you lost today?” — rely on them to tell you
* Understand the emotional side of weight loss – I’ve talked about this in my emotional or psychological aspects of weight loss video
o Theirs — perhaps more irritable, more tired, grouchy, depression, or really happy — in the words of Red Hot Chili Pepper, it’s a “Rollercoaster of Love”
o Yours- envy (focus elsewhere or of their success), feelings of loss (loss of old lifestyle or routines)
* Be an example
o eat the right foods yourself
o exercise – either together or by yourself
o don’t challenge them verbally with your example (like I said in my intro, be a silent example)
* Ultimate Don’ts
o nag – you should not ask “should you really eat that?”
o criticize – their body image or even potentially their manner of weight loss
o tempt – don’t offer them something that is not on their plan or say only one bite shouldn’t hurt you
o get jealous – as your spouse loses the weight, they may get additional attention.
+ Be aware that at their core, they remain the same person you married.
+ trust them
+ don’t feel challenged by the weight loss
o make fun activities – weight loss activities (time together should not only be workout sessions — sometimes biking or walking together can just be that)
* Finally, remember their success or failure ultimately is a personal thing.
o You can not make them succeed or fail.
o You can however set the stage for that success or failure. It is up to them to carry it through.
o The success is theirs alone.

Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Simply water weight loss?
In this video of the Atkins Diet Misconceptions series, I deal with the myth that Atkineers simply lose water weight. To some, the Atkins Diet is simply a trip to the sauna nothing more or less. (http://www.atkinsexposed.org/atkins/14/Losing_(Water)_Weight.htm)
As with any other “Big Lie,” it of coruse starts with the truth and departs rapidly from it.
* http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/low-carb-diet/NU00279
* Composition of weight lost during short-term weight reduction. Metabolic responses of obese subjects to starvation and low-calorie ketogenic and nonketogenic diets. J. Clin. Invest. M U Yang, et al.
During the first two weeks of the Atkins Diet Induction, the body consumes the remaining stored glucose (glycogen) in the muscles. This typically causes the Induction flu symptoms. However after that period of time, the low carb, high fat diet is responsible for greater weight loss of fat mass and greater prevention of muscle loss than any other diet. I have documented in prior videos the studies that have proven these facts. Here is just one article (Very-low-carbohydrate diets and preservation of muscle mass, Nutrition & Metabolism 2006, http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/3/1/9 )
There is no way my 211 weight loss was simply 25.3 gallons of water weight loss. My Body Fat percent dropped 35 percent over the course, and my bench press amount increased 50 pounds. That is not simply water leaving the body.

Atkins Diet: Psychological and Social Aspects of Weight Loss
In this video, I deal with the perhaps unintended or least recognized consequences of obesity and losing weight. That is social and psychological aspects of losing weight or why you may be self-sabotaging yourself from losing weight. Many of us appreciate or utilize our fat as an insulator from the outside world.
Our obesity prevents us from having to deal to with certain situation, like a poor marriage, or gives us an excuse for something we should be doing, such as exercising or being a good parent. Here is a list from Tracy Rose on some potential sel-sabotaging reasons
(http://tinyurl.com/5scwqs):
* Worrying how youll be accepted at your goal weight.
* Letting fear of life without the fat barrier get the best of you.
* Being afraid of how youll respond when people show they are attracted to you.
* Fear of losing yourself to the new, slim verson of you.
* Fear of failure and fear of success.
* Wish not to deal with jealous friends.
* You wont be able to use fat as an excuse to stay on the sidelines of life anymore.
* You think people will have higher expectation of you after you lose weight.
* You are unhappy and feel undeserving of success.
There are certain ones in that list that I can definitely relate to thinking and that kept me consciously or sub-consciously fat for many years. The quote re: fat as an insulator came from this blog post (
http://www.ladymisstree.com/callipygian/archives/why_i_like_being_fat_2006_01_03.html)
Unfortunately, when we lose the weight, all the above psychological issues don’t immediately disappear either. Sometimes there are real issues underlying these issues that removing the insulator or the excuse forces us to deal with. Some of these are internal to ourselves as we may begin to treat people differently for better or for worse. Weight loss will typically lead to a better self-image of ourselves. Our children however may be unaccustomed to an active parent in their life, or we may become judgemental of our less fit friends unfairly.
Even our most bedrock relationships, our marital partners will likely be affected by our weight loss. Testosterone, a fat soluble hormone, will get released as the fatty acids in the fat cells are consumed. This typically increases the libido (sex drive), and according to studies, weight loss is responsible for a better sex life, better s, and happier marital relations. Significant weight loss in morbidly obese people however also raises the divorce rate over the norm. Here are a few studies:
* Partnership, Sexuality, and Sexual Disorders in Morbidly Obese Women: Consequences of Weight Loss After Gastric Banding (http://www.springerlink.com/content/h3544l0548568505/)
* Surgery for obesity and marriage quality (http://tinyurl.com/6jv4pe)
* Removal of a Psychosomatic Symptom: Effects on the Marriage (http://tinyurl.com/6dawoe)
I think it is pretty conclusive that after weight loss we are seen differently. To some extent that is correct. We aren’t the same person as we just did something AWESOME and life-changing, but to another, we are still the core personality. Dealing with that dichotomy is just reality for those who have finally achieved their weight loss success.
