Recent research shows that obesity is caused more by the types of food that we eat than the amount that we eat. (And the types of food that surround us these days are increasingly the wrong kinds).

I would suggest that you and your wife do some research into obesity/nutrition and form a meal plan together. It is much easier to eat the right foods when you're doing it together. It's also fun to cook together. At least, that's working for me and my partner.

I suggest Gary Taube's or Mark Sisson's books for research.

I've only seen a couple of Gary Taube's blog posts, and I found them to be quite deceptive. I'd suggest avoiding him for nutrition advice.

A blog post I wrote illustrating one of his deceptions: http://crazybear.posterous.com/how-1-graph-reveals-what-3000...
