The amount of people in my family that have comments about my âmeat dietâ and not eating sugar is just insane. Despite being in great shape and healthy they think Iâm in some sort of bizarre cult that doesnât understand what Iâm doing.

Same exact experience. Individuals who are mentally and physically unwell trying to tell me whatâs healthy. The dissonance is unbearable.
Itâs surreal. It reminds me of COVID when I would just look around and go, âIs no one seeing how absurd this is?â Peopleâs observational skills are not what I hoped they would be.
I was barred from family thanksgiving 2021 for not getting the clot shot đThe only person in my entire family who refused the jab.
I understand you very well, my family thinks I am crazy because I follow a ketogenic diet.
Respect. The changes in my health have been so profound that itâs easy to ignore them, but they donât seem the least bit curious about how I completely eliminated all my health issues with this crazy way of eating.
Addicts rarely value the knowledge of the sober. In my experience, addiction to sugar & carbs works hand-in-hand with emotional addiction, which creates the infrastructure of their realities. Put more simply, âMonster energy drinks make me happyâŚwhy donât you want me to be happy?â
Lots of rationalizing eating potatoes and bananas and oatmeal. âNow they say itâs good for you.â They just want to eat the stuff because itâs addicting and try to justify it. I am by no means the paragon of clean living, but at least Iâm honest that I just want a cocktail or a cigar because I like how they make me feel.
Honesty/dishonesty: If theyâve never been off of carbs/sugar for 3+ months, then they just donât know the feeling, and most Westerners eat to create feelings, not because they are hungry. So, theyâre not being dishonest. I mean, people honestly think potato chips are food, not a form of dessert. Thatâs one thing that being off of carbs/sugar shows you â that youâre usually trying to re-ignite a glucose spike rather than actually being hungry, and most garbage food does that, and rarely nourishes.
The rewiring of my brain when looking at food is amazing. People donât know what they are missing out on.
I can relates of everything said in here..
I was fired from my job
Lost friends
Donât talk to any of my family anymore and basically treated like a Jew in the 1930s
I try and eat healthy and have been going to the gym for over 20 yrs.
Anyone who left my life now is an addict or unhealthy and basically scapegoated me. If you donât think like the group you will be outcast and ostracized no matter how good of a person you are, or genuinely work to be.
Wild times.
