Simplemod, get your wife a raclette set, she knows what a raclette set is, just use low fat mozarella. Fondue is also a good idea, but only fondue chinoise. Make sure she stays away from cheese cake, sweets and any junk food. Take her out for sashimi, not sushi, stay away from rice of any kind. Get a dog, make sure she walks the dog at least twice a day. MacDonalds, Burger Kind etc are a big no no. Roasted or boiled potatoes, nothing deep fried. BBQ everything and use very little or no oil if possible. Stay away from "powders", use fresh stuff: fresh garlic, fresh onions. Get fresh fruit, if she's hungry make her eat fruit. Open your fridge and chuck the sour cream, ice cream and whipped cream in the garbage. Good luck!
