So I went to a party last night. There was tons of food, my favorites: fried carby things (samosas, egg rolls, taquitos, chips, etc.). I didn't eat any of it. When it was time for cake, I also passed on that, and the hostess looked wounded. I told her I was doing so well on my diet, that I wasn't going to blow it now. A lady sitting near me said, "all you need to do is eliminate the sugar and watch your carbs".

Just shows how uninformed some people are!
Congrats on not giving in!

Of course we know it's more complicated than that, but I was actually rather impressed she said that at all considering how many people get such grief over their low carb diets.

Congrats on your determination

Well done, Speck. If the hostess's feelings were hurt, that's her choice and none of your concern.

I think that's great, when you can go into a small room full of people and find another Low Carb Friend, the tide is turning.

She got over it fast. But it was completely understandable, as she makes these amazing professional looking cakes that take her multiple days to put together. (honestly though, they look better than they taste...sshhhh... I didn't say that).

LOL~ All cake does!!!! My teeth are hurting just thinking about that sicksweet taste! I'd much rather have a cube or three of cheddar!

Forget the cheddar,

Give me a butter topped juicy rib eye steak or full bone cut prime rib slice
Or steamed Australian lobster tail/King Crab legs with drawn butter
Or freshly sliced Toro fatty tuna sashimi style
Or several dozens of freshly shucked oysters on the half shell
Or fresh Uni sashimi
ETC. ETC.

There are much BETTER tasting and satiating choices than cake....YMMV!!!!!

She said this after she saw you pass on all the carbs?

But I agree, it's good that at least someone else at the party believes LC works.
