Thanks JF

I definitely have to be more organised. I can't just grab a snack/lunch at the bakery, etc like I used to (I have a french bakery next to me at work where I used to get lunch). But things like flax bread/pancakes, etc take no time at all to make (5mins prep). I make a double batch of fat bombs, cookies/cake (for DD and me) and soup on a weekend.

Sometimes I get annoyed that I have to make cauliflower rice/zoodles when I get home from work if we are having something that requires them, but it's not a big deal. (I make cauli rice and freeze individual batches but they always run out on a work day lol). We used to have to have takeaway once a week, now it's no so easy, which is annoying if I can't be stuffed, but I get over it. I still eat BBQ chicken so that's a good fallback.

I have always spent one day a weekend baking/cooking meals so it's not much different.

My DD will eat a lot of what I do. DP is more resistant. He will get there...I can be very persuasive (read: nagging) when I want

Eta - my really exciting news for the day (for me anyway) is my mum and dad are now converts! My dad is MrCynical/Logical/Science Brain. He has read all of the books and has gone from being highly sceptical a couple of months ago to telling mum "We are changing the way we eat" just yesterday. He has a science degree and teaches biology (he also has cholesterol and blood pressure issues) so I thought he'd be a hard nut to crack, but he has come around after reading the studies. I'm really glad (It's also validation for me, who doesn't have a science brain, that the science behind it all is sound.
