[QUOTE="Lil, post: 686916, member: 17309"] So...no vegetables. No fruit to speak of. Lots of carbs. This isn't great, but I think the best YOU can do is substitutions. If you don't buy it, it's not in the house. Kind of tough on the other family members, but they really don't need junk food either. But what you do buy, get the lower calorie versions. YES, I know that often low fat versions have more of other things that are bad, sugars, etc. But for the purpose of solely losing weight, it helps. Instead of regular milk, 2% or skim. Instead of regular cheese, 2% (not fat free, it's terrible, lol). Baked chips you already do. Bread - buy the 40 calorie type. Substitute Splenda or Stevia in place of sugar. Buy fat free or lite ranch dressing. Truthfully, carbs aren't very high calorie as a general rule. I once had a doctor tell me to triple my carbs and I lost weight...but I still was eating only 1800 calories a day and no more than 40 grams of total fat. In the end though, SWOT is right. You can't make her lose weight, you can only give her the opportunity. [/QUOTE]
