Kudos!

Music to your ears! Lead by example! Congrats!

Fantastic! I wonder what made him decide to finally take the step?

I'm still hoping my fiance follows suit, especially given his reactive allergies (mainly seasonal). He eats whatever I prepare at home (or he'd be making his own!), but whenever I'm not there he eats bread and copious amount of sugar via biscuits, chocolate and beer. He is slowly eating less of these foods, but I think it's mainly out of habit, laziness and sugar addiction. He can't seem to resist anything free or cheap, even though he knows it isn't necessarily nutritious.
He has bacon and eggs and sometimes sausage for breakfast every morning now (he used to have Vita-Brits or cereal with 2 big tablespoons of sugar and more sugar in his coffee when we met (ugh!) and wonder why he was hungry again in about an hour! Now he has a nut bar and some fruit as a mid-morning snack (he has a very active job) and sometimes skips lunch altogether.

I guess his main source of crap now is lunch during the week when he doesn't take anything with him and beer on weekends (he works for an alcohol distributor and gets free alcohol every week....) It's certainly an improvement on his previous diet.

Fantastic news! My family (DH and 4yo DS) eat what I make - usually - but add on SAD side dishes a few times a week. Lunches are out of my hands. I do my best to provide them with what they need to be healthy, but I can't make the choice to go Paleo for them. DH is sceptical, but glad that I'm feeling so much better since changing my WOE, and DS is a picky eater who LOVES bread and waffles and pancakes... you get the idea. Working really hard to not push, to lead by example and to teach DS about healthy eating so that hopefully he will come to accept more of the diet that I'm eating.

Arrgh. But this is about you. Wonderful that your son is on board - so nice to see our loved ones making good choices!

I also wonder... haven't asked. Just happy he's giving up nugutti (the norwegian version of that addictive hazelnut spread)

You said he's 16, right?

When my kids were that age, you could tell them 'the sky is blue', and they'd spend all week arguing with me and googling points to refute me. Then the next day some respected adult like their karate coach would tell them 'the sky is blue' and they'd come home and try to convince me like I had told them it was pink the previous week.

Most likely he thought it was a crackpot diet as long as it was just you who was pushing it - but then a friend said it was cool and all of a sudden it's cool.

Teenagers.
