Diet wean dilemas.....suggestions?

[Guest guest]

We have diet down to a 2;1 ratio with her diet wean right now.

Plan was to drop to 1.5:1 next but dietican says her meal planner will

not go below 2:1.......sheesh......

Yes I know I could download a meal planner and do it myself. Or other

option is to have her hand calculate only a bare minimum of our

extensive meal plans Her suggestion was to perhaps change cream to

milk but she didn't know (or more accurately hadn't figured out) exactly

what that would do to ratio

Playing with ideas at the moment and am wondering.....does anyone

know/ever figured out what ratio an Atkins diet or a keto/Atkins mixture

like some are doing would be? Just curious.....and thinking it would be

helpful to know this to figure out what to do next, even though I am not

exactly sure why.....came home working in the city and got message on

phone from dietican of this new problem and now processing it all well

at the moment

The way the timing was suppose to work out, a few days after doming off

the 1.5:1, she will be off to camp for a week. Not being able to handle

the thought of the mass dessert preparation that always entails, and

knowing how much she wants to eat like everyone else, my plan was to not

weigh anymore, get the camp's meal plans and modify them somewhat by

substituting some Atkins and other low carb products. So she would at

least get to eat some of what everyone else is.

Thoughts??

K, that's how she is doing....

Can't help - one day mebbe, but by the time we get to this

weaning point you are at, all of this will probably be a distant memory for

you guys...

Good luck, and I hope she enjoys camp, is about the best I can do for now,

Thanks hon

Been on these lists for so long that I don't know what I would do with

myself off them LOL

I am finding that coming off the diet at 1.5:1 is like a med wean at the

end, very scary with lots of possibilities of seizure and lots of them.

I wouldn't mess around with anything less than strict controls and

weighing. I certainly wouldn't send someone to camp at this critical

time with anything other than a very good meal plan in place. I would

stay at 2:1 and freeze meals or make recipes for meals to be made at

camp at the ratio. I think that I sent the scale and a recipe for

breakfast of an omelette with extra margarine and cream in it with apple

sauce. Any half decent meal planner should be able to handle any ratio.
