[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 637787, member: 11791"] If I remember right, she is a really picky eater, right? Likes white bread etc. over healthy stuff? That might be one of the key elements of her losing weight. Simple carbs have an anti-anxiety/anti-depression effect (temporarily) but tend to produce insulin resistance in any of us if we eat too much of them. And they can be addictive (if I have more than a tiny bit, I end up gorging on the stuff). She needs high-quality food... which is usually higher cost and takes more time and effort to prepare. Meals cooked completely from scratch. Too many short-cut ingredients include simple carbs to make things "taste better"... In my experience, there are no shortcuts. Does SHE really want to have kids eventually? Can that motivate her to change her diet? [/QUOTE]
