Thank you everyone. I will definitely check into the information available on this site and give my family something to read. And I have been doing the "mm-hmm, yes dear" thing because I know that the girls that she is talking about were probably trying the quick fix thing and didn't make sure that they had plenty of protein & fat available when they were hungry!
And, Talon, I appreciate your reminder that "what's true" changes as our society evolves.
My biggest dilemma with their opposition to my doing this WOE is that I feel a bit lonely in my home and that I can't talk about my excitement with all I'm learning. I guess this is what this forum's for!
Thanks for the support. I hope as I continue along that I can offer the same warmth and good advice!
Blessings!
