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.

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
