You know you are LCHF when...

When you persuade the family to have a LCHF Christmas dinner this year.8

When you are impatiently waiting for the temperature to cool off enough to throw that turkey that has been sitting in your freezer in the oven with lots of butter and garlic. Or cool enough to stand over a hot grill and cook up a huge batch of burgers and sausages....ok... now I want sausage lol0

Same. Lol. We don't need them telling us what to do!2 -
"This food is high in saturated fat"
Bring it on MFP
"This has x amount of carbs and you're daily limit is 20g of carbs"
Yeah that's not net carbs MFP! *curses out app*8 -
...you meet a new circle of dieting friends (or old friends start a new dieting circle) and when they start poohpoohing your strange LCHF ideas you just smile. Cause you know in months the whole group will morph to a low carb group. Lol. Happens every time.
Success counts.7 -

Oh my gosh...I was talking with a neighbor yesterday and she was so busy telling me about cutting out the fat that she didn't even let me say I eat well over 100 grams of it a day and still lost all this weight and walked 5 miles. She wanted to walk with me and I said sure, but you should know the circle I walk is 5 miles. She decided she didn't want to go.9

You know you're KETO when...
You're on the hunt for low carb recipes and
1.) You are outraged by the number of net carbs per serving even though the dish is labeled a "low carb", "lighter", "healthier" variety.
2.) You completely ignore blogs and websites that don't provide nutritional information alongside the recipe. Waste of time.16 -
@bowlerae so true. Anna will tell me that she's happy that something only has 14 carbs per serving and I cringe because she's LCHF and I'm keto...14 carbs!!! That's awful! But for Anna that's a win.3

I thought it sounded pretty organic....
Hmm.... add org. nuts & seeds?1 -

I know! I look at the carbs first, then the ingredients listed... 14 carbs is 1/2 my daily allotment, whereas I had steak benedict yesterday at brunch and still had half my calories to eat for the day but wasn't hungry! Yippee for eating well, feeling satisfied and dropping weight!1 -
When you go to a website designed for diabetics looking for recipes and see that almond cookies with 25.3 g of carbs per serving are listed under their "Carb Safe" category and you suffer from a bruised eye ball because it popped out so far it hit the computer screen.21

When you see 100 stupid news articles about how you don't need to avoid carbs and want to have a stroke. Or today's headline was about how subbing cauliflower rice and zoodles still won't replace your carbs. The reasons given were that it won't fill you up (it will with fatty meat sauce or cheesy/fatty alfredo) and that cauliflower smells like farts...true line from the article. Well better gain this 33 lbs back so cauliflower will quit stinking up my house!

If it's a website for diabetics designed by a company in the business of "helping" diabetics (treatment, testing, etc) - like Abbott Labs, with its scurrilous plugs for Glucerna and Ensure - you know there's a turd in the punchbowl.5 -

Yeah, this is my life now.3 -
When you order a patty melt without the bread as I did at lunch today. For me the thick, grilled rye bread was always my favorite part.
I NEVER could have imagined doing that before adopting this WOE. I didn't miss the bread at all. Had a Greek salad as a side instead of fries - didn't miss them either.
I was so full that I took enough home for another meal!4 -

You buy eggs by the crate, not by those rinky dink 12 count cartons that might last 3 meals, at best.9

So true! People look at me funny when I have a crate of eggs in my basket - "you must really like eggs". "Are you having a party?" "Why do you buy so many at a time?" are things I hear from complete strangers...
@Cadori - we already have the pig and I so want chickens but we don't quite have the space set up for them yet. To allow them around the yard would be death with all the dogs....but one day, I'm right there with you!2 -

Didn't drink it but did put the jar/juice back in the refrigerator just in case.2 -
I was at the grocery store on Saturday morning after being up super late the night before. Without realizing it, I flipped over the toilet paper and started looking for the carb count.
Also, I had a doctor's appointment last week and quickly learned to smile and nod as my doctor told me that I'm eating too much meat and I need to add in at least 4 servings of fruit a day.21 -

Oh, my word. I couldn't even. I'd be doctor shopping and quick. That'd drive me insane. At least I've always had doctors who were open to LCHF eating (as long as I was losing weight and getting good blood sugar numbers).0
