You eat a package of bacon. To yourself. In one day.
Hooray Sundays!7 -

Your friends are all drinking coffee, but you're sucking down the little cups of half-n-half.5

Here is some of my things:
1. You just went to the grocery store and 90% of what was in your cart was meat
2. It does even fase you that you just cooked up a kg of bacon for one person. ( freeze it for snacks) and you know you will need more in a couple weeks
3. When you have been on program for a while and are grocery shopping and are mentally adding up the carbs in other people's cart. ( don't know if this is just me and my mom or not...)
I don't like pickles... I feel like that's a necessity for keto...
I saw in one of the posts someone mentioned net carbs on mfp-- how do you do this??? You would be my favourite persons!!
for your net carb question:

So that only works on the computer. Bummer. I almost solely use my phone.

You look at the clementines and Nutri-Grain bars in your co-worker's lunch and think, "I bet she's hungry again in two hours."4

Totally. Or sugar laden fat free yougurt. I used to eat them for Bfast and always be hungry. Now I use nonsweet Greek full fat yougurt with frozen berries and some sweetener stirred in, and never hungry after Bfast.

I LOVE clementines and I've been sad about giving them up but I do realize that they are not filling and I easily eat 3-4 in one sitting (woah the sugar!)1 -
When you're visiting family and they decide to have a "light healthy breakfast" of flavoured greek yogurt, toast, and fruit and you're the only one thinking that this would be a cheat breakfast (so you have a buttered coffee instead).6

We totally stunned my visiting mother by proving to her over and over again that the reason she's always ravenously hungry before lunch is her every-day breakfast of oatmeal, brown sugar and low fat milk. For decades she's insisted that this is the best stick-to-the-ribs breakfast there is. Two weeks of bacon and eggs at our house, and she's a convert.
In the past we would have just given her oatmeal -- but we don't have any in the house!13 -
When you watch your colleague eat a bowl of porridge with fruit, chocolate covered rice cakes, a flapjack and a pear for breakfast, then rice and chicken in black bean sauce for lunch, and wondering why she is still hungry.
In the meantime you have eaten some beef jerky, and 2 eggs with salt and full fat mayo and feeling stuffed, wondering how you can possibly fit dinner in. True story from today.9 -
when every time you log a meal in MFP, you get the message about how your fat goal is X an this has XX grams of fat like it is trying to get you to reconsider.17

When you are on Pinterest but can't repin any of the 400000 miserable on a diet/cheating on a diet pins because your diet is awesome and you are never starving!
When you are traveling and you get a beef short rib at a truck stop instead of chips or pretzels.
When you see people using fat free ranch dressing and desperately want to schedule them an intervention!7 -
When you fill out your husband's employer's healthy metrics program, answer the questions honestly, and then the program tells you that due to your fatty diet, you are at very high risk of getting colon cancer. True story, with Anthem's (Blue Cross/Shield) healthy incentives program. I am waiting for their healthy nurse coach to call me and tell me how bad I am.7

You know you are a low carber when a sugar binge feels as bad to you as a an alcohol hangover and takes just as long to recover from.16

When you order your hunters chicken without BBQ sauce (chicken wrapped in bacon with melted cheese on top) and replaces it with mayo and a dose of salt, and before you start eating you carefully put the potato wedges to one side, as you only want the chicken.1

When this message pleases you.
Wow - so MFP admonished/warned you for eating a food high in saturated fat! That's never happened to me but I use MFP on my computer rather than the phone app.3 -
Yeah, it will admonish you for anything that's "high" in something on your app. But you can disable that feature, which I promptly did.4
