The Fat Question
Since I have been converted to low carb over the past year, I have been trying to educate my kids about the true healthy way to eat. They now eat more protein snacks and I limit their sweets and desserts, etc, but they still insist on a bowl of cereal for breakfast most days. So, whilst I am re-educating my kids' eating habits, they are still eating quite a lot of carbs (although less than before), and, since I have been re-educated myself about the eating of fat, good fats are a staple part of all our meals now. Thus, they are eating a high fat/medium carb diet.
Now here's the thing: I've read, of course, that combining high fat/high carb is the worst thing you can do, and this really bothers me. How low is low enough? It also affects my DH as well, who has a really stressful job and, together with the high fat, and not particularly low carb, diet, this could lead to problems, especially as he does not approve of my diet and won't read anything ......
Any crumbs of comfort out there??
