And no, I don't live with anyone not on the same plan, although he doesn't always act as if he knows that! He follows mouth hunger rather than real hunger and he eats fast so I'm sure he doesn't feel satisfaction until long after it happens.

Anyway, he doesn't cook so he eats what I make and I refuse to make two meals. I know this is a very healthy way to eat, so if he wants to eat less healthy stuff, he has to buy it and cook it himself (not gonna happen!) For children in the household, I really don't think there's any reason to teach them to expect carby or starchy foods at meal times, but I sure don't have an answer for how to teach them to eat the right things at school provided meals. Our schools didn't provide meals when my kids were that age. That's got to be a huge problem.

Anyway, I don't believe there's any health reason to feed the non-low carbers any differently than you eat yourself ... this is a perfectly natural and healthy life-style. For treats, check up on the "sweet treats" section of the kitchen and recipes area. Loads of good stuff there that are really kid-friendly ... even husband-friendly!!
