You know you are LCHF when...

*Let me preface this by adding that I've been eating string cheese a lot lately for the first time in my life and also, I seem to have really weird dreams when LCHF*
You have a dream that you're at some sort of fair/amusement park and there is a giant string cheese the size of the Empire State Building being hoisted up by a crane a hundred feet above ground and then dropped.3 -

When you order a big mac for lunch while out shopping but forget to ask for a fork, so you eat the burger out of the bun bite by bite like a duck eating bread. This was me Sunday.5

When you're at the movies at the condiment bar, putting mustard on your hot dog and you casually throw away the bun... while the guy next to you watches you in horror.3

My new road trip snacks - chicken wings, salami sticks and nuts. Used to be 2x bags of lollies, sandwiches and some cake or biscuits. Oh and also I now have little pottles of coconut oil in my handbag in case I need some more fat

When you get caught in an awkward conversation about cake recipes and you mumble the appropriate stuff like "that sounds amazing" but deep inside you feel like a kid in the old afterschool special movies...lying to fit in! lmao7

I'm afraid I've got one of those no filter faces so I'm sure I'm saying "great" and my face is reacting like they are talking about dog poop or something! haha.
My mom and I were buying some cupcakes for a birthday dinner this week and I'm like "let's get this pack, there are only six." Mom is arguing we need more so people can have extra. Then I try to direct her to the tiny two bite cupcakes. Nope. I'm just cringing thinking people don't need ANY of these cakes. Sugar! Carbs! Cant' mom see I'm trying to help people help themselves? UGHHHH lol4 -
How about this for an ego? Loving it when some stranger (check out line clerk for example) says "how does that taste?" and they are pointing to the ice cream I'm buying.... I answer "I have no idea, I don't eat carbs". They say "really?" I say "yep and I've lost almost 50 lbs since April". and they get all starry eyed. I freaking love that.6

I get you. I make cakes for all the family birthdays...I try to get all fancy with the fondant and people are like how did it taste. IDK I don't eat carbs or gluten. I just like making them!

Ain't it the truth. My wife blew an enviable 4.8 on her recent A1c test. While she seems to have been weaned off her 12oz of OJ in the morning, she has not forgotten about dessert.
I was too slow to avert my eyes in time to see her dump extra cinammon-sugar on her ice-cream-crowned sopapilla last night. I almost fished out my glucose meter before she took her first bite.....

Yeah, and at the moment, I don't necessarily look like someone who can give nutrition advice, so I really can't refute what they're saying with any credibility.
One day though...5 -

^^^^ This even before I went low carb. Why those things got so popular just always alluded me. They smell sooooo bad.0 -
When your colleague laments about being on a diet and not being able to eat cheese because of all the fat and you say, "Oh, yeah, I'm on a diet too, I'll eat your cheese and you can keep the bread," and she looks at you like you're out of your mind, and then says with this look of desperation, "Does that actually work?" to which I responded, "Well, so far, so good, I'm down nearly 100 lbs and my lab results are better than they've ever been in my life... but good luck with your diet and enjoy your bread"

I had a bite of a Krispy Kreme in my previous life (before I found out I had to be gluten free) when they first came to Canada at the end of 2001. We all went back to Timmie's. How underwhelming. They certainly never spread here. I've only seen that one shop in all this time.1

Yeah, but they have half off a dozen after 9pm...
Pre-LC me would wait in the parking lot in my car at like 8:50pm LOL
And then there's the kids selling them as 'FUNdraisers' by the skytrain entrances.

Really surprising to me @samanthaluangphixay . Maybe they are more popular in Vancouver area. The Krispy Kreme find-a-store site shows only 7 in Canada. The one in Delta was the one I was thinking of.0

Yeah, Delta is the one I was thinking of too! I grew up nearby in Surrey.

After looking at all of the food I just cooked...
1.) Cheesy Broccoli Bake
2.) Salmon with Sour Cream Mustard Cream Cheese Topping
3.) Spaghetti Squash with Tomato Basil Cream Cheese Sauce and Spinach
...I turned to my roommate and said "I think I have a problem with eating too much cheese"
"Said no one ever," she said.

When having a mini cheeseboard for lunch is keeping on track (with cucumber and radish instead of crackers)

Here is some of my things:
1. You just went to the grocery store and 90% of what was in your cart was meat
2. It does even fase you that you just cooked up a kg of bacon for one person. ( freeze it for snacks) and you know you will need more in a couple weeks
3. When you have been on program for a while and are grocery shopping and are mentally adding up the carbs in other people's cart. ( don't know if this is just me and my mom or not...)
I don't like pickles... I feel like that's a necessity for keto...
I saw in one of the posts someone mentioned net carbs on mfp-- how do you do this??? You would be my favourite persons!!

I've been trying to install this script, but Chrome won't let me even though I have Tampermonkey installed.
I'd appreciate any help/suggestions.
Posted a request for script to eliminate calorie column in another Forum, yesterday...Oy Vay!! Big mistake, lol.0 -

I saw that train wreck and chose to stay out of the fray, lol! I don't like arguments that like. Yeah, I choose to keep the calories on, but I totally understand why you, and anyone, want to hide the column. It's really not necessary or helpful data for some folks. There's a script for that

When you walk into the butcher and say "I need fat, like lard, tallow..." and the butcher asks what I needed it for. I said I was Keto, and he gave me a knowing nod. And then proceed to buy all the fat just in case they don't get more in stock soon. And when you walk out the door you feel as if you have a new BFF. Or is that BBFF (best BUTCHER friend forever).13

OMG I've had a mild cramping in the back of my thigh the past couple days and realized it was because I had eaten the last pickles out of the jar last week. Remembered this thread, with alllll of the mentions of pickle juice, and just had me a little shot glass-full! (forgive me, still a little new to higher sodium intake habit, former hypertension patient). Mmmmmmmmmmmmm SALT and VINEGAR.5
