He told me yesterday he has eliminated breakfast (except for the tea with cream). We’ll see if that helps. We weigh weekly.
My expectations for him were based on my experience. My weight loss was dramatic, although it was about 7 years ago. I estimated I began losing a pound a day initially and then over six months that rate decayed exponentially, with some plateaus here and there.
Another factor is that my son is stereotypical millennial. Virtually no exercise. But, in September, I got him a membership to my health club. He goes about 4 days a week (I’m 6 or 7) and lifts for 30 minutes. No aerobic exercise. But I don’t either now in winter, but in the summer I rollerblade approximately 2000 miles over 4 months(!).
My son also has a stubborn bit of psoriasis on his scalp. I told him way back that getting off grains should improve his condition, but it hasn’t. Based on information I read on the wheatbelly blog I recently upped his daily vitamin D intake to 5000. I plan to have his blood checked in a couple of months; vitamin D, insulin, and testosterone.
