...there are no side dishes you think are "worth it".
...you keep ketchup, sweetener and other condiments on your person "just in case".
...you think drinking salt water is a good idea.
...the only "potato", "rice" or "pasta" dish you will eat is made from cauliflower or squash, with absolutely no potato, rice or pasta included.
...you think nothing of baking only chicken skin and eating it like chips or crackers.
...pork rinds are your go to for dips, fillers, binders and breadings.
...pancakes are made mostly from cream cheese.

Pork Rinds - I must try these!11

@Shadowmf023 Lol I remember I brought egg salad to work, topped with bacon and pork rinds and everyone's mouth dropped haha31

You check the label of every cold medicine on the shelf and reject the ones with dextrose or maltodextrin.46
-
Not only do you eat pickles, you drink the pickle juice too, like it is a cocktail.42

My brother and father thinks it's weird that I bake with nutflours. Or that I don't eat fruit. Or that I eat cauliflower instead of rice/mash, or zoodles instead of pasta.
And my sister's mother thinks that she can make me a gluten free bread and I'll be able to eat it... And when I told her that gluten free does not mean it's low carb she was like: "Yeah, okay." Like she thought she knew better.16 -
The best is getting stares from colleagues when you have your lunch of cheese and deli meats. Enjoy your 'low fat lean cuisine' buddy...I get to enjoy yummy fat!34

You bring along a carton of heavy cream when you meet your friends for coffee or brunch....
....or is that just me?

No, its not just you, lol. I've gotten a few looks for that. And my closest friend always asks for skim milk for her coffee. I just love my cream! She's now thinking maybe she should try my WOE for a while!

- You own multiple flavors of sugar free syrup
- You keep almonds, dark chocolate and beef jerky in your night stand
- You buy almonds in 1lb bags
- You know what malitol is and run in the opposite direction of anything containing it. Might even have flashbacks of horrific experiences.
- You know that almond milk is just as good a source of calcium than milk is (actually, better!)
- You have an extremely specific and confusing Starbucks order that no one is going to be able to order for you in the office, even if you write it all down (No classic! Extra heavy whipping cream!)
- You have the "net carbs" addon for MFP/Chrome
- Caveman makes you think of delicious LC recipes rather than an actual caveman
- You expect an office get together involving food to turn into temptation challenge 2016 (damn doughnuts!)27 -
- oh and also... When almost every person outside this forum on MFP irritates the living crap out of you.50
-
-when going out to eat, you spend 10 minutes quizzing the waitstaff about added ingredients in menu items and the ability to leave out and substitute items21

You die a little bit inside when you see someone pour out the pickle juice when the pickles are all gone.18
-
You are stuck with only high carbs options at a family party. You amaze the family with how much fat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and bacon you can add, so you avoid eating the carbs altogether. They drool at your diet food.21
-
When you spit out perfectly good bacon when you taste the sweetness of the applewood smoke! lol I almost shot the waitress a death look for not telling me but then I remembered that Carb-ers don't recognize the difference Lol13

You quiz the waiter and butcher about the exact ingredients in your burger patty because you're worried it has too many carbs. (They tend to stuff burgers with carby fillers in the UK, 100% beef burgers are hard to find).

-- when the waitress gives you a pained, quizzical look and says, "You didn't eat your to-die-for honey crescent roll?"
-- you smuggle your plate back to your table at the steak buffet so that no one sees it is meat only.6 -

Oh my god that would be amazing. Talk about hitting your protein goals for the day.8 -
......You look at the carb count in the protein powder you are purchasing
.......You eat peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon
........You order two hamburgers and throw away the buns
........You don't touch the "bread basket" on the table when out with friends and they ask if you are feeling okay
.......Your breakfast could very well be bacon and macadamia nuts (or is that just me?)34 -
You send an email to the president of Cold-Eze, thanking him for sugar free zinc lozenges28
-
When you see the pneumonia shot they're going to give you is made of polysaccarides and ask if there's a sugar free shot! (I just did that for real!)39
