Thank you for your reply! Right now I need the kind of encouragement you gave me! As I stated......I have fallen off the wagon but can assure you I am back with a vengeance, knowing her latest lab reports has now shown me it is not just for myself. My husband also has RA and have read much about how a LC lifestyle may help with the inflamation and flare ups he experiences. I expect some tough times ahead, he does not eat veggies, my niece and him both like their ice cream, pasta, chips, etc. I just won't have them in the house anymore though. Myself, I just plain like FOOD. Sandwiches, fast food, potatoes, yada, yada, yada. Then again the whole family is constantly on the go, busy, busy, busy. One excuse for all the fast food. Well, life is about to change for all of us! Am rereading the stickies, new posts, looking up recipes, restocking the pantry, figuring how to do LC on a budget, etc etc. The rest of the family will follow my lead (and since I make most of the meals, will eat what I serve!) so I hope to write again and report on improvements we have made. Wish us luck! Any advice or opinions on HOW lowcarb to go with her would be appreciated. Since I consider her prediabetic but also has the high triglycerides I have concerns about pushing mainly meats and veggies but limiting fruits, dairy, nuts etc. Not sure the guidelines are the same for a growing child as adults. I know their is information on these boards somewhere regarding that so will look for it. Thanks again for the encouraging words, WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
