[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1252800, member: 256617"] Not quite the same but I in the middle of a rebellion right now. My wife has seen the benefits to me with low carb so switched herself and our 2 daughters to low carb meals in the evenings. Our daughters (11 and 13) have complained that they are hungry; I explained that this is due to the fast carbs they eat the rest of the day (cereal, so called health bars etc). The bottom line is that a lot of fast carbs taste nice, and the societal push and availability of these creates the wrong environment for non-diabetics, to make the best choices. I am not giving up, I engineer making sure the whole family watch the sugar related programs on TV. The advantage you have now is that you can shape your daughters taste buds to accept green leafy vegetables, portion control, hydration etc. The rest of us are having to try to re-educate, best of luck.
