[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since this is a parenting site, I am perplexed/concerned by how folks justify not eating 3/7 days in front of their children, particularly their girl children.

Meal time is family time. Do these women just sit there with an empty plate and serve their kids? [/quote]

I wake up first so kids don't know whether I ate breakfast. After that, everybody's schedule is completely different so on weekdays, we just can't have a meal all together. On weekends, I don't fast and eat with them. No problem at all for us )[/quote]

Same here. I am not hungry for breakfast, never have been.  I AM listening to my body when I skip it.  My kids are teenagers and they see me eating low carb, lots of veggies/lean protein but not so rigidly that I can't enjoy some treats - like cookies and pizza - every now and then. They see me and their dad going out on dates nights. They see me exercising regularly and they see that at the age of 53 I am able to be active and do fun things.  They also see me do a 36 hour fast once a week  and fairly rarely twice a week.  My kids don't fast but they do enjoy some of the healthy, low carb meals that I make and even request them.  One or two nights a week we don't eat together.  I'm sure that's the case for many families with active teens.  It really is no big deal.
