We have decided to subtract added sugar from his daily intake. This will subtract many carbs as well as calories without putting his digestive tract into "freak out" mode.
No more fruit and/or veg juice to start his day.
No more lemonade to sip throughout the day.
Self-limitation on jams and jellies.
All candies banished from view. (if it isn't directly under his nose, he doesn't see it)
He will drink coffee, tea, water.
He will continue to have his morning yogurt w/fruit.
I know, but he doesn't eat eggs and I don't want him to have cereal.
I will continue to bake his whole-wheat bread, but will tweak the low-carb bread recipe and gradually phase it into his diet.
He has agreed to continue to visit dietdoctor.com so that he can come to understand "why" LCHF is a healthier WOE, and will tell me when he wants to drop rice, pasta and other starches from his one big meal of the day at noon. His dinner is always the Continental dinner of bread with cold cuts. He adds fresh fruit to that, but will also begin to cut back.
I think this is a reasonable start down his road to renewed health.
