Morning
@Deb9, do I detect a more relaxed note with maybe a bit of determination in your post today? If so, then I think you are on your way!
You ask about "skinny" products. Personally I do not like that sort of label because it has no real meaning and is too often used simply as a marketing ploy. I like to look at the nutritional label on the product and find how many carbs are in it and go from there. When it comes to jams and marmalade I have taken to making my own - it is not that difficult. The result is something that has much more flavour than the shop stuff and you only need a fraction of the amount on your toast to get the same taste. I am currently on a pot of damson jam I made in September which I expect to last a couple of months or more of breakfast toast. I have three pots of Seville orange marmalade I made a couple of weeks ago in the cupboard, which will easily see me through to beyond the middle of the year.
The point I am trying to illustrate is that one option you have in your low carb armoury is to use standard things but of higher quality so you eat less of them. No point in going for something with half the carbs which is so insipid you end up eating twice as much of it.
Keep bashing away at your partner and kids. It will take time for you to get them to understand that "going on a diet", with all that has come to imply, is not what you are up to. What you and many others have found out that the stuff many people eat, particularly easy get fast food, can have long term effects you could well do without. You are not on a diet, you are rebalancing what you eat in order to keep your blood glucose under control.
You can be sneaky about it. What sort of meals do you make? Let us know and maybe we can come up with some sneaky ways you can cut the carbs with nobody noticing!
