Hello Dors! :)

I understand all your concerns. Yes, it is really hard if you are to consider also the kids. What I suggest is that you take out food from some restaurants that offer dishes that suits the CGN program and then eat at fast foods that your kids like. OR, you may have them eta the same food you eat :)

Mackerel can be galunggong, alumahan, takitik, matambaka in our local fishes :)

For the recipes that call for lemon, you can actually freeze the remaining lemons for future use or squeeze them in your drinking water. It's a good way to detox. :)

Hi!

Hardest thing for me ...

1. Sometimes the recipes aren't right on the money...ex. Lemon chicken curry- way tooo sour...
- I've learned to put less lemon juice and even added a little soy milk ;)

2. Also, it's kinda hard to find some items on the shopping list ex. mackerel (not available in groceries :( ...
- Either I use Bangus Belly/Tilapia/canned mackerel sans oil

3. Actually... following the diet, especially on weekends when the family usually eats out :(
- we've omitted our weekly sunday lunch out due to my diet since it's hard to think of a not so pricey resto/fast food place where my kids would have their fried chicken/porkchops and satisfy my diet requirements (sigh)...
