Each of us has to find and live with the diet that works best for them. I really liked being on the Atkins diet. I lost lots of weight and I felt great. Unfortunately, I have a family of 6 and we couldn't afford for everyone to have as much protein as I was trying to eat. A high protein diet is very expensive. I found that it was necessary to stretch out whatever meat, eggs & cheese that we could afford with lots of rice, pasta and potatoes. I try to provide lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. I have a large garden and I freeze, dehydrate and can as much as possible. I do not give them much in the way of sweets, I use fruit for many of our deserts.

The truth is that the low/no starch diet is a luxury that most families cannot afford.

Cherish your yesterdays,
Dream your tomorrows,
But live your todays.
Do the very best you can
leave the rest to God.
God Bless,
