how did you get him to come along on the primal journey with you? I'd love to know for the sake of my own dh. (He is 50).
I started slow with him. I talked him into changing out breakfast once in a while which soon became every other day. After a while, he looked at me and said "oatmeal is a really crappy breakfast". It has taken a while for him to give up all the crap food he loved and he still hasn't done it 100%. I told myself that I would never tell him what he could and couldn't have. If he wanted to eat cookies, I let him do it. The longer we eat the good stuff the more he is realizing that he feels yucky after eating stuff he hasn't been having in a while. I also stopped buying the junk he likes. If he wants it, he buys it.
Men love bacon!
Start slow and count the little victories.
If your body is willing, your mind can push it to do some amazing things.
