General Discussion / How do you deal with low carb naysayers?
« on: August 16, 2012, 01:16:36 PM »
I hate to feel defensive about how I eat, but some people make me feel that way! ARGH!
Boy, the reaction I got when I told a couple of women at lunch that I don't eat carrots! By the way, not one of them has ever had a weight problem. I explained I don't want the sugar from carrots and they said, oh well they have fiber, and oh it's natural sugar, blah blah blah. I said I eat low carb and I get fiber from other things. I tried very hard not to be defensive about it. I hope I succeeded.
So how do you deal with people like that?
