My wife now only eats only a small bowl of soup. Plus pudding , that is anything that’s sweet.

I make chocolate from cocoa butter and peanut butter sweetened with alulose , she loves it, who wouldn’t?

Also protein drinks which add another 50 grams of protein . It’s not what most people would consider normal but it’s something

I have exactly the same problem with hubby. He used to say whats for dinner but now he doesn't want any food. He has the tiniest portion and leaves half of that. He objects to eating with his fingers. If I give him a sandwich cut into quarters with the crusts cut off he insists on a knife and fork and spoon. Then just eats the middle part. Pizza is hopeless, have you ever tried eating pizza with a knife and fork! A toasted thin bagel cut in half is all he will attempt. He says he is sick of food and all we do is eat!
