What lowcarb plan are you following? Cuz your DH shouldn't be doing this without a doctor (and that includes a doctor's book, lol). How about getting a copy of Protein Power by Dr.s Michael and Mary Dan Eades. It outlines how many carbs (has an equation) and how much food per meal, etc. Um...many of the guys who've successfully lost well over 100 lbs. miss their beer for awhile (hey..it's still going to be available...just like chocolate).
