[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2413355, member: 521715"] Either add carbs to theirs and/or add fat to yours. For example spaghetti bolognaise in our house, I have bigger portion of the bolognaise with extra cheese grated on top. They have spaghetti and the sauce, no added cheese. Ditto with curries, I have the main bit, the have rice, I dont. Same with chilli. Meat and veg meals, they have potatoes I don't. I might have more green veg. We are a household of 3 adults so the microwave packet sof rice and other grains are handy for adding to 2 of the plates. I add extra cream to my sauces or drinks, and use olive oil as a dressing. Mine like lasagne made with cabbage or cheese as a the lasagne sheets replacement They might have a low fat flavoured yoghurt, I have full fat with real berries added. Gradually though they are coming more to my way of eating. Our Sunday roast now come with no potatoes or Yorkshires but with extra fresh veg. Sometimes for variety I do a low carb Yorkshire. Do have a cupboard and fridge shelf for your food that they must not touch else your goodies will disappear. Challenge them to do 3 days without snacks. Most low fat diets actually are quite high in sugar. You will be able to not snack becuase fat keeps you satisfied, but they will cave. [/QUOTE]
