Recently I might get my mother interested in keto as I managed to slim down (heh, NSV)(but of course, she is afraid of me slimming down further as it is likely for me to look like a sick man instead, when I was thinking “I thought slimmer is better than fatter? Heh”)
My mother is in prediabetes phase.
She can understand and accept the low-carb part(though she still felt that a little bit of brown rice is okay, which I understand where she is coming from…)
Summary
(I am worse in the sense that I am able to give up rice/noodles, but not really willing to give up the sweet sauce on meats, which I always feel that it makes food wonderful, and the reason why I can give up rice/noodles is just because I like meat more. That’s all.)
Anyway, she then mentioned that the doctor actually did suggest her that she needs to go for “low sweet, low salt, low fat”
I am like “erm…”
Anyway, when I heard the low salt and low fat as well, I am thinking one thing: how to convince people to go? The reason why I can convince myself is because I kinda like fat meat in the first place.(pork belly is the best, I just need to cook)
But others? How?
I have a feeling that my mother has been through the time where pork lard is commonly used, but she also has been through the time where vegetable oil is the best and saturated fat is the enemy. She also goes through the time where low-fat is the best…
So now here comes a problem: I wonder if there is any way to get someone like her to accept the high fat part also?
Also, high salt part.
as in ask how much salt and fat her parents, grandparents used in cooking?
