Just wanted to spread some sunshine and thought "Hey- what are the funny things people say when they're eating keto?"

I'll start:

(at home) "We need to go and get more heavy cream and bacon!!! There's only 1 carton of cream and we're down to 3 packs of bacon- let's move!!!"

and go :)

    hahaha, so true. We're very new to it (2 weeks) so we still give each other strange looks as we read recipes. How about "could you please get the butter out of the fridge, I'm about to make our coffee".

    I'm the only one in my family who eat low carb, when they want something I don't eat, all I can tell them is Make your own Carbage!

    Sorry, I can't eat that salad - I'm trying to lose weight. Pass the bacon.

    Are you going to eat that butter or can I have it?
    Yes, I drank the cream! and your problem is?
    What do you mean you washed the fry pan because it had bacon grease in it? What were you thinking?
    How can you eat all that salad with no dressing and expect to stay thin?
    Fat is friend and food.

    At a restaurant if someone comments about how fat is bad for you ~ to me... I get the "wait" person to bring me a melted butter serving (one of those 1/4 cup things) and I get the attention of the person commenting on the fat I am eating/enjoying and I pour the butter all over all my veggies, steak, etc and then eat every drop of it.... that makes their jaw drop!! I LOL!

    Or, if WE are eating a steak, and I see them take a knife and trim the fat off THEIR steak, I politely ask them if I can have the fat...I throw it in my mouth and savor every gram of it, steak fat is like candy to me...I have done it so many times with my buddies, they give it to me without me asking.... :)

    I once drank a whole stick of melted butter in front of a friend of mine who believes fat will kill you. I didn't do it for shock value, I actually waited until she looked away but got caught because she turned back around right as I finished it. I only wish I had a video of her reaction to show you. LOL

    I'm looking forward to tonight - we have company coming over who we haven't seen in a month and a half (we were 2 weeks in, it wasnt super noticeable at the time). When we texted to ask if there were any dietary concerns (they're often eating carefully) hubby mentioned that most of the food we eat is loaded with fat but we could do something different if they were concerned. The response was "loaded with fat?!?!?! I thought you were dieting?". Hubby responded "yup, we are! Wait til you see me!". He's down 50 lbs in 2 months, should be hilarious.

    I've lost 10 pounds in a week and a half on the ketogenic diet. When people ask me how I'm loosing weight I say I don't eat carbs and they are like oh I can't live on just salad. Makes me laugh.... No honey I eat lots of cheese and butter and steak.

    To a friend eating fried potatoes.
    "Enjoy your lump of sugar honey!"

    She's a good friend, knows of my weight troubles and just laughed.
    But honestly potato equals sugar to me

    My SO often asks in the morning, are you having fat coffee (aka BPC) or do you want me to pour you a cup?

    You know you're keto when you can say "pumpkin spice bulletproof herbal tisane" with a straight face

    You know you're keto when the thought of eating over 20 grams of carbs in one day feels like overeating!

    Just like Dittodan said!

    "Are you going to eat that? If not, pass it here!" Pointing to the steak fat some fool has fastidiously cut off their meat and shoved to the side of their plate. My mom and my kid know to save it for me now.
