There is a joke in our house that I refer to my MIL as the "Excocet missile" when she comes to visit.......

Your know it's coming but can do d**all about it!"


Your general problem is Universal. But some suggestions

1. Don't even try to explain the LC theory it's just not worth the effort.
2. Use Diabetes and low sugar as a way in... talk about low sugar everything and how you have given up cakes, cookies, chocolate etec.etc.
3. Talk calories instead of carbs.
4. Major on vegetables and salads as what you like to eat. Remember you are not keen on the root vegetables because theyare higher in "sugar". If it is above ground you will eat it.
5. Fruit also, strawberries, blackberries,raspberries all berries you love they are lower in sugar. But you don't have jams as the have added sugar.
6. Decline breakfast cereal as it just doesn't taste so good without sugar.
7. Take a comfort pack of snacks in a coolbag. Leave it in the car if necessary.
8. Leave stuff on the plate.
9. Be prepared to be a little hungry but remember your comfort pack.
10.Get MIL to come up with the notion that fresh food is more nutitious than processed. Then agree wholehaeartedly. Let her choose the protein. Do not worry if it is low fat, let it go for the weeekend.
11. Ask whether she has read about the benefits of oily fish. Agree that fried battered fish does not help diets.
12. Agree, agree on everything that you can, junk food is awfull etc. etc.
13. Have you taken medical opinion? Yes you have..Dr. Eades.
14. Drink water instead of fruit juice. Dont say why just do it. Try Tea and coffee black instead of adding the skimmed milk on offer, it's not that bad.


If none of this works ...You have no alternative...
