[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1748566, member: 401801"] Think he'd fall for cauliflower rice? No carbs, similar versatility as actual rice. The breakfast options (wheetabix, banana etc) were very carb-heavy, so far as that goes coffee was accidentally a good choice, as the others would have spiked his sugar. But the metformin might not agree with him if it's taken on an empty stomach. If he complains about food being dry; he can have fats! That's not a problem. (It's the carbs that make us overweight, actually. Low carb got me and many with me off statins, my cholesterol is fine now. And I dropped 20 kilo's). There's a konjac pasta with little to no carbs, you just have to thorougly rinse it before use or it'll taste/smell fishy. I dunno... He has to want this too. I have a feeling he's in the denial stage, and as long as he is, there's only so much you can do. I know it's frustrating, and very scary, but just educate yourself, check out diets like low carb/high fat, Mediterranian, Newcastle and Scandinavian, check dietdoctor.com for recipies... Learn what he won't, and you're ready for when he comes around. [/QUOTE]
