Thank you for all of your replies. It sounds like this is a issue a lot of folks face. I probably should have been a bit more clear in my post. I am not trying to push DD into eating lc, although I am a bit nudging sometimes. I know that she has to make the decision and commit to be fit on her own schedule. I can simply keep losing weight and trying to guide her. Since she still lives here at home, I do have some small bit of control - although with a teenager, it's hard to maintain control, LOL.

My concern, though is whether or not she will be in worse shape because she is eating high fat right along with me, and then at other meals (or snacks) eating high carb. Is that an issue? Should I keep making the lc meals for her too or make low fat ones on the days she is eating too many carbs? I've always heard that the combination of high carbs AND high fat is really bad for us. And if this is true, how how is too high? Does this make sense?
