Default You might consider this

A couple of more thoughts on this. If you find that you want to try CAD it seems that you would have to limit prepared carbs in the house. Take your CMs and try to keep your husbands CMs and snacks from the approved foods list as much as you can to try and limit insulin spikes for him. Then for the RM have your treat but, and this is the main point I am suggesting, prepare only enough of the high carb treat for just that one meal. You don't want any leftovers for your husband to get into the following day. For example, if your treat is a couple of cookies, make the cookie dough, bake off just enough for both of you for the evening meal, then freeze the rest of the dough in cookie-sized pieces for other nights. If pasta, cook just enough for that night; don't give him any temptations laying around in the frig. Let him have his snacks, just try as much as you can to guide him in his choices. He might find that after a while he won't want to have all that other food but don't tell him that, let him find out for himself Good luck with whatever decision you decide to make. Cyndi
