Thanks Deb. The problem is that she is very nearly completely blind so cannot cook for herself now. However, when she has come to stay with me, and I have been able to give her a few meals with low carbs, she has said how much better she feels. This has reinforced my decision to keep to this WOE.

I couldn't believe the diet sheet given to her by her nutritionist - tinned fruit salad in syrup for breakfast was one of the items on it!!
