Laurie-You are truly blessed to have a supportive family, and in the long run you have done yourself and them a great favour healthwise by low carbing.

SpecialK and others who prepare special meals for each family member: Now that you are low carbing and have realized how much more healthy it is (and how bad all that other stuff is), how can you watch your loved ones eating stuff that is bad for them?

My son eats what I prepare whether he is low-carbing or not (the only concession is bread-flax or sour rye-because it will do the least harm). Otherwise if he wants anything else, he has to buy the ingredients and cook them himself. He has elected to eat what I prepare. lol
