Isn't it annoying how some people can lose weight with hardly a thought, and the rest of us have to work hard to more or less stay where we are? My DH used to be one of those too, but has lost that ability as he has got older. Poor guy; I think it is even harder on him because he never had to worry about his weight till he was in his 40's, and so doesn't really know how to deal with it. Now me ... I've had the concept (if not the deedthe funny farm6 said:my dh is diabetic also and we did the atkins diet. he lost @8-12 lbs a week, i lost 3. so i didnt stay on it, but it works by eleminating carbs. go to your local hy vee and ask to see the diatican (most hyvees have one now) and she walked us threw the store and showed us what were the best to avoid and gave us alternitives for our favorite stuff. and some great info. she gave us a handout of good and bad carbs in foods.
) as a part of me since I was a teen. Don't have a hy vee around here, but thanks for the information anyway ; it might be good for someone else.Cauliflower, and celery root are also good substitutes. We like them both mashed, and cauliflower makes an interesting rice-like option -- google cauliflower rice. I quite like rutabagas and turnips, DH not so much, so we are introducing them slowly.frustratedearthmother said:
