Advice to The Mrs.

8/8/2021

I spent a weekend relaxing with family in Siavonga at the beautiful Miselo’s resort. After a couple drinks my poor uncle was interrogated on the state of his belly. Verdict: the belly must go! My married uncle had an immediate and interesting response to his current situation 👉🏾”She did it! I come home and find a buffet...what’s a man to do? I can’t tell my wife that her cooking is making me fat! I eat all she’s prepared with a smile on my face because I don’t want problems...problems in the form of ‘mwalya kwisa mudala’?”😂 this interaction gave me an idea💡 🤔 I need to urgently speak with the wives!

Wives, listen up:
  • Implement portion control for your spouse. Protein such as meat, fish, or poultry should be the size of your palm ✋🏾,vegetables or fruit the size of your fist and carbs such as rice or potatoes the size of a cupped handful. Portion control also means that ka bevlar (extra helpings of nshima) is off the menu; hand that man a piece of fruit and tall glass of water if he’s not fully satisfied with his meal.
  • Prepare matebeto style lunch and dinner meals with more protein and vegetables than nshima. Try to switch from breakfast meal to roller meal. Breakfast meal has very low nutritional value outside of filling the stomach. Roller meal is a better bet because of the fiber content.
  • Switch from white pasta and white rice to wholegrain pasta and brown rice.
  • Swap out dairy milk for almond milk or rice milk. If he insists on dairy milk then make it low fat or fat free dairy milk for lower calories.
  • Replace vitumbuwa kusheni (fritas in the morning) with oatmeal and fruit (chia seeds, berries, bananas make excellent top ups and substitutes for sugar).
  • Opt to purchase wholegrain bread ahead of family white bread for your home.
  • If your husband consumes alcohol try to gently persuade him to consider drinking lite beers 🍺 such as castle lite and mix his spirits 🥃 with water or sugar free beverages for lower calorie intake. More on this here.
  • Develop a family fitness culture. Simple activities such as a morning/evening walk provides a dual benefit of exercise and an opportunity to catch up and do mulomo. Leave your phones at home😐

Finally, if the situation is dire let’s talk about it. Otherwise you must strive to prepare food in a manner that supports the physique you’d like to see on your husband.

Thank you for sharing.

I hope wives and women out there will gather the courage to help their men gain back their healthy life style.

I think we need cultural change towards fitness life. Our partners have to buy in. It should not be a radical change or shift but should be corroborative one if we are to achieve a healthy life style. We need to have them buy in the plan, else we will not achieve the desired fitness goals.
