” I think I heard something about moderation once, a long time back...”
that’s the key. Cutting out bread and rice and potatoes is kind of ridiculous too, especially if you have kids.
I’m eating some soup right now with some white rice and a ham sandwich. I wish I the money and time to make meat and vegetable for both lunch AND dinner but that’s not realistic.
The easiest, cheapest low carb meal I cook is a 3 egg omelette with 1oz of cheddar + 1oz of swiss. Add in veggies like onions, peppers, tomatoes and what have you if you have them. I dollop of sour cream on top when it’s done.
Super yummy. If I eat one of those for breakfast I’m usually not hungry till 3 or 4pm.
Low carbing kids is a fantasy by and large. I have one child that *might*, *might* actually tolerate that. She loves veggies and omelettes and stuff. The rest would go on food strike. And whine. A lot.
