    Honestly this makes me thankful I have food allergies. Once you explain to people you're allergic to gluten and soy, and gluten and soy are in nearly EVERYTHING, no one pushes food at you anymore. Plus, half my office is dieting in some way or another, so me saying 'I'm on a diet' is not a big deal. I don't usually go into details about keto. I always volunteer to cook at family gatherings, so there is always keto friendly food, and when I go to restaurants I scour the menu in advance.

    I just invited my Dad over for tri-tip tomorrow night and he said he will bring a tub of ice cream, because my Mom, who is on vacation with friends, wants it out of the house before she gets back! Ug, their grocery regrets are on their way to my freezer (temporarily until I toss it of course). Funny how they deem it unhealthy to have around their house so they give it to someone else...

    When asked, my answer is always " cutting out the whites, white sugar, white flour, white rice.......that always works. When out to eat with friends, since I've stated that, it's no surprise when I get meat grilled in olive oil , a salad and a veggie--- or big green salad with only protein on top.

    In most cases, if I were to explain LC/HF, I'd be challenged much more. People, in general, do get that " cutting out the whites" .........so deep down they know all those sugars, bread, and flours are the problem.

    The family members who deride you have lost their way and they're miserable....I'm so happy, we here on this forum, can offer each other support.

    I do the same and it's true, I have cut out processed food! I still eat lots of veggies but I enjoy my fat and protein :) it is none of their business anyhow!

    Slightly off topic but, my MIL 'got rid' of her 'unhealthy' plastic storage bowls for leftovers to replace them with glass. She gave them to us, lol. Ummmm, if it's unhealthy enough for you to get rid of it, why poison us, lol. I didn't say anything, just tossed the items after.
