Hi:

Try fixing them lots of meats and veggies. Let them know that rice and potatoes (starchy veggies), will only be served 1 day per week. Also, make cassaroles that uses veggies, meat and cheeses and no noodles. They will probably love that.

Make meatballs mixed with cheese and veggies, they will definitely love that. And to think no starches are in this dish!

If everyone is overweight, you can do this together. Hopefully this will work for you. Tell them you want to make this a family thing and if everyone gives it a try for 30 days and find that they don't like it, then they can eat whatever they want. But you need to stay focused for yourself. Do what you need to do for yourself... and that is to get healthy.

Tell your husband if he wants his son not to get diabetes and heart disease, he will support you for at least 30 days. Good Luck!
