    Font - AITA for telling my wife that she needs to put in more effort to lose weight?

    Font - My wife(28F) has gained a lot of weight over the last two years since she's been working from home. She's very conscious of this and decided to get on a diet. We went to a nutritionist, who's also our neighbor, and she suggested that she follow a ketogenic diet for the next few months. At first,

    Font - my wife was very enthusiastic and went through with the plan for about a week. After that, she relapsed to her old eating habits.

    Font - Hollifo · 20 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [12] The nutritionist who suggested Keto, one of the most difficult and grueling diets, is a fuckin' hack. You need to do it constantly, with no slips, forever, for it to show any results, and it's basis was in treating epilepsy, not weight loss. YTA, but your heart is possibly in the right place.
