First off, I do not do low carb. But I do not do high carb either. And
because of our food allergies, I can't always cook the same meal for all of
us.
I was usually taking less carb for myself, but...
After Angela went to the Dr. yesterday and got weighed, I realize I have to
put my foot down now and cut back on her portions. Because of her food
allergies, much of what she has been eating is carbs. Rice, rice pasta,
potatoes, and chips of various things. She also eats rice based bread and
it is much higher in carbs than wheat bread.
So for her I am enforcing that she must eat more fruits and vegetables. I
would prefer less fruits, but...she really hates vegetables. We'll see how
that goes.
She just woke up and is screaming for food. We are going to lunch with my
parents. I keep telling her this. She wants to eat before lunch. Now if
she had gotten up earlier then breakfast would have been fine. But not now.
Then we have the cat who needs to put on weight. I discovered the other day
that she loves white rice. She also loves potatoes. So if I make extra of
those (provided there are no onions in there), I know what to do with them!
