[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1907874, member: 365308"] I am a low carbing type 1 and my in laws cook high carb meals even though my father in law has neuropahty and a quadruple bypass after 20 years + on the EatBadly plate and keep taking the tablets type advice. I do seem able to avoid the rice and scrape the potatoe off the shepherd's pie plus dodge the sticky pudding. [B]I never justify or explain[/B] unless asked to but do pile my plate with veggies and enjoy the cheese and red wine! Breakfast can be eggs or my own chia seed pudding (imported from home) or a bulletproof coffee plus almond butter. Also if a bit of potatoe or pasta slip in then your in laws should n't be made to feel that they've poisoned you. The humour sounds a bit like a defense against your apparent rejection of their food with your 'faddy' ways. To me the beauty of low carb is that I can eat out or with a bunch of high carbers and find a low carb path through it. If you choose to offer them a clear guide then click on the link below for the excellent Diet Doctor visual guides. I do think you need to tackle the vegetarian thing thoough otherwise you may be doomed to a life of pasta bakes! Food is love though so I think it is important to state that you do love being with them (hopefully since you are there a lot!).
