Comments on: The Right Path http://healthy.jeffjsnider.com/2013/08/04/the-right-path/ I used to be unhealthily overweight. I'm well on my way to being healthy.

1) There are a lot of yummy meals that your family wouldn’t even realize were “diet” food. If you Google “4 hour body recipes” or “slow carb diet recipes,” there is a lot to be found. One site I’ve found that looks interesting is http://www.4hourrecipes.com/recipes/.

2) Depending on your definition of “sampling,” there are worse things. If we’re talking about literally taking one small bite of something, no big deal. Of course, if you’re like me, one small bite can easily lead to one small helping which leads to one large helping. So I’d try to avoid taking bites until you’re at least a few months into it.

3) Most importantly: CHEAT DAY! Make a delicious meal for your family, and throw your portion in a tupperware in the fridge. Eat it on Saturday. Plan your meals so the things you like the most are on Thursday or Friday, so they’re fresher on Saturday. I am constantly throwing stuff in the fridge or freezer for myself to eat on Saturday. It goes along with what I talked about the other day, how you never have to say “No” to anything. Just “Not today.”

I just began reading your blog Jeff. You are wonderful for sharing it, and it is making me cry just thinking about how much I needed to hear your story. We are totally different, you and I – male female, witty not, Sports fan crafter, Happy childhood dysfunctional family, young older, etc and yet I totally identified with your whole story, your feelings, your inner beliefs, your doubts and fears.
Please keep up the blog because I want to believe there is some meal plan out there that could actually work for me too.
My one worry is how this will work with me being the cook for the family. Doesn’t seem fair to make everyone eat my way, but it would be impossible to cook one meal for the family and another for me without “sampling” theirs.
