Having had my kids in my mid-30’s, thoroughly enjoying my life before kids, and my life after has given me the perspective of agreeing with your thoughts, but wishing more people like you had kids, as compared to those that believe their kids are there to serve them, or who only interact with other adults and basically ignore their kids. Of course, if you aren’t sure, don’t do it. It is by far the most work I have ever put into anything. (mostly thankless) ---

tempura is probably about 25 g carbs each. It looks like about 100 g carbs because sugar is added to the sushi rice. I only eat the raw rish, sashimi and avoid the rolls. I recall I unsuspectingly ate 3-4 teeny tiny rolls- wham ! BG over 250, corrected all night. Argh. ---

> [@Michel](#): > > The “rule” at our house is: each meal must have a large, hefty salad (not just one of those piles of lettuce with a couple pieces of tomatoes in the middle), a large portion of cooked vegetables, a source of protein, and a fruit. We keep piles of fruit so it’s easy to pick, but we always have lots of berries so the boy can get some low-carb fruits any time. @Michel - is the source of your carb fruits?
