Big sigh. If you guys like similar stuff, I would recommend cooking the same meat for the both of you - even if Da Man's is prepared differently. That way, you don't have to worry about getting grumbly at the smell of something that you'd much rather have.
If you're on any sort of portion control, weigh yours up in advance (I have a few weeks' worth in my freezer all portioned out and ready to go). Actually, in general if you can pre-prepare stuff, you'll get through it a lot easier. Having to prepare something I know I don't want to eat is what gets me. Oh! And the microwave is your friend with steaming vegetables and stuff. Way faster.
And make sure you treat yourself SOMEHOW once a week. Even if it's a sauce you're allowed to have or a snack you normally wouldn't have but can get away with or the diet will eat away at you and not in the physical way!
PS: Homemade soup. Goes good in big batches for freezing.
