Never do I remember my mother asking what we wanted.

My point was, whatever I choose will be a family thing. I’m not sure why a couple of you latched onto the kid thing only. My wife has done almost all the cooking, but besides eliminating things such as fried foods, white rice, white bread and pasta, there won’t be too much we’ll have to do to eliminate a ton of carbs. Breakfast will have to be healthier, but I usually make that so no issues at all.

The main thing we have to do is slow down and not eat out so much (eliminate fast food mainly, but I can make healthier selections at restaurants as well). We’re on the go a lot with sports and dance, but we need to better plan dinner.

Adding that to working out 4-5 times a week, and I believe I’ll be able to lower my A1C of 6.6 without medication.

The only question I asked is what your meal planning looks like from those going through the same thing. If you’re dealing with the same thing, please share it.
