My daughter is 25 years old and special needs. Last year I took her off all her meds and she has done wonderfully without medication. She has lost 75 pounds. What an accomplishment for a special needs person. She still walks, speed walks, for 30 minutes everyday and is still being careful what she eats. She lives in independent living and does her own cooking. She has staff (someone who lives with her and helps her) but we are looking for easy, simple recipes for healthy foods she can cook that will help her maintain her weight.
With the holidays coming she is being really careful but wanting to slowly add things to her diet. She weighs everyday so she can watch for small weight gains while she is adding new foods. She will not add pasta, rice or potatoes until she makes it through the holidays. OH, and cheese....she is not eating cheese at all.
Any recipes you have experience with would be helpful. Right now for meats she mostly eats pork chops, pork roast, tuna and chicken.....ground turkey also. We are just a little bit at a loss right now on recipes and looking for a change. Just to be able to find recipes for things we have not thought of would help us get through the next couple of months!!
Thanks for any help you can give.....
