[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2116385, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I have the same issue with all my female elderly rellies - lovely women, but just can't cope with the LCHF thing, and give me a hard time to varying degrees, always, about it. Worst is my stepmother. (I must say - calling a type two treating with diet - what we are supposed to do after all - 'high maintenance' is a new low! Poor you!) Folks can get mighty emotional when you suggest that some, even many have a very bad reaction to bread and grains. And the bad fats versus good fats argument (ie butter being better than margarine) - can't cope with that either. Old dogs and new tricks? When my stepmother goes too far, as she does from time to time, I have somewhere very pressing to go, and just get out of being around her. And I do keep trying to impress upon her how asking me to provide bread and cake is just plain cruel. But absolutely - avoid any food buying with your MIL! Life is hard enough without you having to endure that? (Get your husband to do that stuff? Is that appropriate? it's his mother after all!)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
