Please add yours! just thought it would be fun, and/or funny! (after my bi-weekly weigh in with the doctor, I have a cheat meal...tonight was chicken and noodle stir fry. and chocolate for dessert. still way under on everything except protein, cuz I am on a high protein diet...)
SO>>>
You know you are a low-carber when, you have a big cheat meal and STILL end up below MFP's recommendations for carbs, sugar, sodium, etc. etc.

You know you are a low carber when:
you eat the cheese and meat off the pizza and people look at you strange.
you can't wait the to see that dark red reading on the Ketostick and get excited!0 -
People ask you for your "secret" to weight loss and fabulous hair.
...and then the minute you say "low-carb," their response is "But isn't that unhealthy?" :explode:0 -

When your friends want to go out, you have to go online first and look at the restaurant's menu to figure out what you can eat.
Ordering a meal at a restaurant takes 10 minutes (... with no potatoes... no, no fries either, I'm pretty sure those are made from potatoes... can we substitute a slice of bacon instead of toast?... yes, I'm sure ... dressing/sauce on the side ... is that dish breaded? ... no croutons ... no bun... yes, I'm sure...)0 -

This is me! Who cares how many calories it has if the carbs are too high?0 -

Love this!!!
also, when your sitting in the dining area of a fast food restaurant and people begin to whisper as your ravagely enjoy your lettuce wrapped hamburger. The "what the hell is she eating?" and " She must be some kind of health psycho" stares are comical. I'm just downing a delicious burger folks!0 -

You log everything, even small items, because even coffee has carbs. And those little suckers add up quickly!0

You understand exactly how awesome butter is, especially when you can use exorbitant amounts of it that your pre-low-carb self would have gotten ill seeing.
Also when you can appreciate finagling baked goods using almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and splenda, and make it taste just as good as anything carby. 0 -
your in laws freak out at all the meat, fats, and butter you eat then tell you that "you eat an obscene amount of food for such a tiny person."
hahahahaha! Yeah. I'm gorgeous too!

Everyone you meet has a horror story about someone they knew who was on Atkins. It's never them, always a cousin or neighbour...0
-
You know you are a low-carber when:
your weekly grocery purchase always consists of pork rinds, bacon, fresh veggies!0 -
.. your coworkers say "wow you always have such healthy lunches, so many veggies" until you mention you're doing Atkins and then they tell you how unhealthy that is0
-
You have to go to the store AT LEAST two times a week as your 35 cubic foot refrigerator cannot hold enough veggies and meats to last the week!0
-
When bacon has become one of your favorite condiments and you always save the grease! lol0

When you're out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant and you order the fajitas sans the tortillas and no rice or beans. She orders a huge chimichanga platter w/ rice and refried beans w/ extra tortilla chips.
Then she looks at me and says "ya know all the meat you're eating will kill you and aren't ya worried about having a heart attack." I told her there's more veges on my plate than meat. So she just gave me this disgusted look and said "yeah well I guess I'll be visting you in the hospital."
My response was "yeah well, opinions are like *kitten* everyone has one, but some holes just talk more than others!"
I just can't stand it when people think they know what's better for you than you do!!0 -
when you make a pizza crust out of things non grain like eggs or cauliflower and rave about it to your pizza dough eating friends and they stare at you like a mad woman/man! haha0
-
When you make pancakes from egg whites and protein powder!0
-
When you have 7 bags of non-wheat-flour flour-y looking products all stashed in your freezer, including "guar gum".0

1. You order a hamburger without the bun.
2. You ask the waitress to substitute vegetables in place of the rice or potatos.
3. Your vegan wife thinks you are trying to kill yourself because you are eating meat -- despite that fact you have lost almost 60lbs and all the bio-markers were great on the last blood test.0 -
When you say "sorry I'm on a diet, can we go somewhere I can have bacon and eggs or a big meaty hamburger?"0
-
when...
you laugh at the little message after you click "complete this entry" on your MFP food journal and it says- "If every day were like today..." and it tells you you'd gain weight, but the scale keeps going down!:laugh:
Is it wrong to feel sorry for the poor saps that are starving and eating rice-cakes and apples all day as I dig into my 8oz ribeye & broccoli smothered in butter?0 -
... you think a V8 vegetable juice is insanely sweet.
Mind, I still can't drink coffee without sweetener...0 -
When you order a medium pizza all for yourself and scoop up all the toppings and put onto your little pizza plate in a giant gooey pile and dig in!
Then the waitress looks at the entire pizza dough crust empty and you are certain she is thinking you are crazy.0 -
...when you go to subway, ask for the philly cheesesteak on a salad, and the lady looks at you like you have 3 heads. :laugh:
Really though, they have to charge me $2 extra to ditch the bread?! :huh:0
