Starting a new diet can be very difficult, especially if you want to get the whole family on the program. You’ll be curious… I find some people start a low-carb diet and have two meals a day to improve their health and lose weight.
One for myself and one for my family.
Instead of going through the hassle of preparing separate meals, you can do a few things to help your family begin the transition to healthier eating with you. Please note the following:
Most people know that a drastic change to their dinner menu will upset their children and spouse. But when you take small steps to get your family into a new lifestyle, you’ll find that they’re more receptive to the idea. You might consider a gradual transition to slow replacement.
Discover common substitutes in your kitchen and start incorporating them into your meal plan. These are some alternatives to get started.
If you run out of peanut butter, buy almond butter instead.
Get rid of refined vegetable oils and start using coconut oil, olive oil, and other healthy fats
increase the number of vegetables served on the table
and reduce junk food around the house
Stop buying processed meat and look to grass-fed alternatives instead
Then find a way to accommodate your family. One of the best things you can do is experiment with different low-carb diet recipes so your family can experiment with options and identify meals they like. Once you know some excellent recipes your family will enjoy, you can start incorporating them into your meal rotation. Over time, everyone will be able to adjust their taste buds and make even more drastic changes to their meal plans. It may feel like the wheels are spinning right now, but these changes will take time Used over time, it can make a big difference in the world.
