[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My entire family is technically medically obese (except for my dad and me). Two brothers and their wives and a sister have lost 50 pounds each on average in the past year. Several of them are fairly panic-stricken that they'll start gaining back the weight. There's no way in hell I want my house or get-together to be a trigger for them grabbing a brownie. Or ten. So, call me boring, fine, but on Friday, I'll have only low fat, low carb food. To those posters with ideas:  thanks!  [/quote]

They're going to gain it back. You can't go low carb, or low fat forever. It's impossible to sustain. I know you want to support them, but no one can live in a low carb/low fat microcosm for the rest of their life. Carbs aren't the enemy, and neither is fat - but quality of carbs and fats are where its at. Every person I know who's done those stupid fad diets has lost weight... and gained it back (and then some). It's a terrible cycle, and the yo-yo-ing is often less healthy than just stabilizing in being overweight (look at Tom Hanks, who now has type 2 diabetes from the yo-yo-ing he did for his move roles)

I've lost over 50 lbs, through exercise and moderation, with no restriction. It's slower, but that's sustainable for the long term. It's so much more liveable. [/quote]
Whatever works for you. Great!  You understand that's not what works for everyone, right?  Whatever, I won't be the one providing salami/cream cheese pinwheel pastry puffs or make your own sundae bars.

Please keep the cucumber cup ideas coming!

And still looking for eggplant and cherry red toes per ideas.  Thanks!  [/quote]
