Hi there.
I suffer from CFS/ME, Asthma, IBS-D/A and Fibromyalgia.
My Asthma is usually not too bad but due to the CFS/IBS I have to live with family. I try and contribute by cooking for us all, mainly low fat meals and pasta.
The thing is, the other 5 adults in the house keep bringing junk in. Chocolate, Pizza, Burgers, KFC and although one of them has Barret's Esophagus and needs to eat low fat, they won't.
When I make meat-free pasta they balk at it and they won't go without dairy and icecream.
While I don't expect them to follow my diet completely, knowing that chocolate and coffee are just a hand-span away is really hard.
The hardest thing though is that I only have the energy to cook one meal for 6 adults, and they are complaining about all the mega healthy stuff.
Everyone helps out in their own way and my thing is the cooking, but it's really difficult when they eat so much crap and so much coca cola etc...
They whinge about not eating healthy(they could all stand to lose a few pounds and one of them will get cancer if he doesn't cut the fat out) but they just won't eat healthy unless I make it and even then, they don't always want to eat it.
I am an Australian so I am not sure what the safest snack foods are either. It's hard if I am out somewhere and need to grab a quick snack. Any ideas?
