    That's great! Maybe that will help your boyfriend lighten up a bit or maybe switch off the oatmeal and pancakes.

    Btw @Persephone7676 this WOE has also been shown to benefit and sometimes improve Alzheimer's. Just fyi fwiw.

    I have sort of developed this habit: if I know I will be eating around others at some point in the day, I get my fats in during the "off" time. That way I'm eating similar to others at the lunch or dinner with a few vegetables with some butter and some meat/protein.

    Some might consider that habit as not "owning" what I eat (keto) but I clearly see it as a way of not having to listen to other people's negative opinions on my food choices.

    I love this advice.

    Fortunate that my husband has been eating lower carb and higher fat after seeing such positive results in me. The benefits can't be denied! He has lost about 15 pounds, but wasn't very much overweight to start with. He loves HWC in his coffee just as I do! Prefers butter and whole foods too! Doesn't care for anything processed anymore, and I love that! He has developed a love for dark chocolate, lol, even more than me!

    He was reluctant at first though! Once he realized that u was getting healthy his opinion changed. Hang in there! The benefits of this woe are greater than their opinion!

    Today my Mom had her endocrinologist appointment. She's been doing this WOE for about 1 month. Her last A1c was 8.4 and today it was 6.1!!!! Can you believe that!?!?!?!

    Holy Kittens! That is absolutely fantastic and motivating!!! Thanks for sharing.

    Recently, while out to lunch with co-workers, I made a salad at the salad bar and loaded it with cheese, black olives, bacon bits and olive oil. One co-worker commented "Wow! Going off your diet today?" I just smiled and told her that I had lost over 50 pounds eating this way every day. Eating high amounts of fat just doesn't make sense for most people. I cringe when I'm with people and they order things like turkey bacon, low fat yogurt, skinless chicken or skim milk.

    Those numbers for my Mom really did help shut him up. He's being better now and more supportive. We went to Red Lobster for lunch and he finally seemed to get i cannot eat the biscuits.
