Re: Help me help my husband

Before I started Atkins, I too ate only lettuce, tomatoes,,,,,basics. Once I started experimenting with other vegetables, I discovered a taste for them, especially cauliflower, it almost tastes and resembles mashed potatoes! I made a dish for the kids, and they loved it, couldn't tell the difference. Another way to get it alot of vegies, is a vegie soup, throw everything into it, and then puree most of it. It's a quick fix for vegies, and definately great in the winter time! Just be creative, there are some wonderful low carb vegie dishes on line.

I have decided to cook low carb and whatever he will eat, he will eat. I will make him a salad with iceberg lettuce, tomatos, bell pepper, cheese and some chopped egg. He''ll be happy, I'll be happy and I'll love him anyway.

Good decision Susan. Peppers and tomatoes are nutrient dense so are very good choices. When most people start this WOE they are being asked to give up a lot of familiar foods. To also ask them to eat things they don't like is asking alot.

Thanks guys, All good advice. I will take it all into consideration. I know him well enough to know there are some things he will not eat. To me it's not worth the fight or the hurt feelings it may cause. Thanks again for taking the time to try and help me.
