On Thursday night, DH was taking a nap (in the living room), so I decided to watch “The Magic Pill” since he probably wouldn’t want to see it. He has been concerned about my Keto diet, because he was brainwashed with the SAD recommendations of eating lots of carbs, fat is bad, and CICO. He has always had serious weight issues. A few months ago he did give up sugar, but was still eating breads, fruits, and any other carbs foods.
So… I’m about 2-3 minutes into the movie and he woke up and instantly became hyper focused. He was very impressed and said it made a lot of sense. Yesterday at work, one of our friends told him that she was on Keto and has lost 50 pounds. So yesterday he came home from work and announced he thinks he should go on Keto with me.
I’m counting this as a NSV for the ketogenic diet, and hoping he can be successful because I’ve been really worried about his health.
Keto since 3/6/19 this time, now spouse joining!
So encouraging! I hope he does phenomenally! I’m still wishing mine too totally join me in this. But he is supportive! I’ve lost all my excess weight so just maintaining. Still doing it for the health benefits.
Very cool. Once he’s had some time to adjust, maybe show him the movie ‘Fasting’ (I found it on Amazon). The first 30 minutes is great and aligns well with the keto way of eating. It’s about intermittent fasting (just a shortened eating window each day) and then also goes into multi day extended fasting. I feel the intermittent fasting info is the most helpful to a person at the beginning of trying to take back control of their health. Like the Magic Pill, the early information is reasonable and makes sense and is easy to apply, nothing extreme. (The rest of the movie goes further into religious fasting, even longer extended fasts, eating disorders, and the fasting mimicking diet. Once you hit the religious fasting section, it’s more on the extreme side but definitely first 30 min is well worth a watch.)
It is so much easier when you can do it together. The Magic Pill was something I stumbled upon when channel surfing and have been keto ever since.
Awesome! Best wishes for his success and a long, long life together. 
My wife is a T2D who has had breast cancer and is over weight. She would like to do keto with me but she loves her carbs .She is also a social bee and that means going out with her friends for breakfast, lunch, dinner or all three. She always seems concerned about my health but fails to look at herself. After 30 years I guess we are still individuals and want our own space. Good luck.
Everything should be much easier now with you both on the same page. Now there’s no reason to have junk food in the house. The greatest food controversy will be over who gets the fattier steak. Stand your ground! 
My husband just started this week but he isn’t getting needing to eat three meals to start (I told him even after a week or two, he would probably have a desire to cut back). Other little things, but I am helping him. Unfortunately he is doing “lazy” keto, i.e. doesn’t want to read or research but will follow along with me. That’s all well and good but wish he would just trust me and do as instructed. 
Starting with “lazy keto” is at least a start. Maybe later on you can challenge him to track for a week, but track what he has actually eaten (rather than track what he plans to eat).
Be sure to cook him all the delicious keto recipes! No way he’s going to miss carbs if you give him enough bacon. 
It started my diving down the keto rabbit hole. But yes, that is the start. Countless YouTube videos and many books later I am still convinced this is the right path.
It’s frustrating because he just doesn’t “get” it. He was absolutely binging on fruit before, which we discussed (I said it’s just like candy - especially the pineapple and fruit cocktail he was eating). Anyway, he has stopped the fruit. This morning at breakfast, he asks me “can I have chocolate milk (like, is this a choice I can have?),” and I said “no!.” (wtf.) Then he tells the waitress he’ll have juice - I said “no juice” [!], so it was water. How do you not get that juice is the equiv. of 20 oranges!? This is going to be a looong journey, although he doesn’t mind being told and won’t have any trouble with what we can eat. He is doing good, though - as long as he checks with me about what he can eat, until he finally understands. He has no clue about nutrition or nutritional values.
My husband also joined me on keto later on, I think about 6 months after I started. He does things a little differently, sometimes I let it slide, sometimes I try to correct him…
He thinks that people need the option to cheat and he sometimes eats a keto dinner followed by a regular dessert (my mother in law doesn’t really understand ), he eats regular food in restaurants, he overdoes it with nuts, etc. I did try to have a few serious discussions with him, sometimes it seems like he gets it, but then again forgets very quickly. I talked to him about his stalls, since he does have about 5kg that he still needs to lose, but he is not as hard on himself as I feel that he should be. Then I let it slide, because we are all adults and all different…hes also a very sensitive man, so I have to carefully pull at those threads. I also have that inner struggle of needing to tell him what to do and then remembering Im not his mother.
You’re right.
It’s hard, though, when you know the right way and they do want to follow keto. Luckily, my husband is not sensitive to me advising him on his food choices, so I let it rip. It’s just when he makes statements like, “can I drink chocolate milk (or juice)”, that I lose it temporarily (i.e. what have we been talking about for two weeks!). 
Case of “My wife says I never listen to her - or something like that.”
Make him a “chocolate milk” with coconut cream and some chocolate MCT powder
