When you are visiting one of your gluten free forums and come across a good discussion. You are pretty sure you've seen it covered here so you dive into the launch pad to read up on it and search various threads. An hour later you remember you were supposed to respond to someone on the forum.6

Hahaha, yes... I also tend to take extra salt packets and butter minitubs from the 7-11 when I buy my late night HB eggs snack on patrol. Because who doesn't need a tub or two of salty butter when they are eating their cold eggs?

Real Salt makes a couple of small shakers. One holds about an oz of salt and the other about 2 oz. I carry the small one in my purse and pack the larger if I’m going away for a few days. Just keep using the same shakers and refilling them.retirehappy wrote: »You have purse salt, pink salt in a baggie for emergencies.

I know I'm low carb when my poundage starts melting off, my skin clears, my energy soars, and my mood is lighter.
I love LCHF. Even better is when I'm ketofied!!!
This is the life for me.5 -

Ha! Yep. Still do. I make effort to keep my food choices out of a conversation but if they bring it up I just redirect.
Them: Why aren't you eating cake?
Me: Oh, I really like your shoes!
Them: What? Don't you want some potatoes?
Me: So, who do you predict to be in the Superbowl in 2019? 6 -
Sadly this is my office culture. There’s some sort of treat in the break room every day. Every. Day. There’s no such thing as healthy here lol

When your other half cooks pizza and chips for his dinner and the smell of it cooking just smells bad to you. This honestly happened to me this week and I was so surprised as I’d had a break from low carb a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be hard to be back.2

I honestly knew this was my new lifestyle when I walked into a cafe and could smell the potatoes being fried up, and did not like the smell. I used to it love, not any more.

Wait a minute! Are you saying that going back to eating the foods that made me fat in the first place will make me fat again!?! Next you're going to tell me that if I stop exercising, and go back to sitting on the couch all day, I will go right back to being out of shape. That's absurd! I'm never going to change my eating habits or add exercise, if the results will reverse as soon as I go back to my bad habits.12 -
