PITA first timer question

[sootballs]

Started SW after GP referral ans just getting my head around the various foods, free foods etc.

a) I'm a little worried about the no carbs limit

b) how do you ensure that the rest of the family gets a full calorie/fats meal? Both my dds have a high calorie diet (they are dairy/soya intolerant so eat a LOT but remain skinny) and DH works out a lot. We tend to eat dinner together and so it's worrying me a little.

Ty.

The carbs kind of portion control themselves because you're having a third of your meal as salad or whatever.

The DC eat slightly differently to me, in that if I have chilli and rice, they have wraps and guacamole that I'm not having.

They also have cheese on pasta - not so useful for you, they're also having cereal that I'm not having, their bread isn't rationed and they eat at school and have supper.

Your DH can choose to do that too, as in, in the nicest possible way, his calorie intake isn't your problem.

They're not the only meals that they have slightly differently btw, just the easiest examples, lol.

For meals like a roast dinner the DC have the skin/ fat, homemade juices gravy, yorkshire puds, roasties (actifry ones usually) and veg

I have the meat minus skin/ fat, lots of veg and potatos.

For breakfast my bacon is trimmed theirs isn't.

Sausages mine are very low fat/ syn free theirs are breakfast bangers.

Meals like jacket potato its all in the filling. I might have beans/ tuna/ cottage cheese. They might have mini sausages and beans with grated cheese, chilli/ bolognese mix from the freezer or tuna mayo.

Soups for lunch i'll have soup. They'll have soup plus bread and sandwich fillings and maybe some crisps.

We all eat lots of fruit. They also like homemade biscuits and cakes.

All good points. Thank you.

DHs food intake isn't my concern that's true, I generally plan meals and shop while he takes care of the cooking, washing up and clearing up. It works for us. He's spent the evening looking through the books I got yesterday and is enthusiastic about some elements. The dds however do need fats and good fats - we eat loads of fish which I can keep up.

I just meant, the good thing about slimming world is that it's just food, not special diet food, so it's as nice a meal as you make it and as he's an adult, he can sit down to dinner with you and get extra calories himself at other times or add something with higher calories if he needs to.

Rather than the ignore him, he's not important that it probably read like, lol.
