If your family is overweight they aren’t going to be more supportive. Sorry to tell you this, but I’ve lost my weight , and kept it off for over three years now, and my morbidly obese family still expect me to regain it! They’re all overweight and don’t care to even try to lose a pound. They don’t have the nerve to better themselves. The only way they can make themselves feel better is by making me feel bad. I have learned to ignore them because my health is more important than them hurting my feelings. The rude comments have stopped now, but they call me skinny and ask how much more weight am I going to lose? I just keep eating my yummy food and smile while they starve to death eating French fries and Potato chips!

The only thing you can do is show them through your actions, then they will see your results after eating the foods you’ve been eating. Choose to prove them wrong by channeling that frustration into determination! You deserve the good that comes from every good choice you make!!

But no, Keto is not a fad. It’s being recommended by physicians around the world now to correct many health problems. Once more people realize that we’ve been told the wrong ways to eat by people who profit from the foods they tell us to eat, then attitudes will change for everyone!

Yeah I have those people that don't support it. My mother gets more affected, I don't really care about their opinions and views and you'll see why as I go through some.

My mum and her younger sister go for a meal every month or so and being on the diet she is selective of what she orders. She always gets a lecture about how unsafe and unsustainable this keto fad diet is. Thing is though that she hasn't actually researched into it much. She'd only seen the reviews and posts from those anti keto articles with no conclusive scientific evidence to back up their claims and that.

My mum had a stroke a couple years back when she was high risk anyway and we had a very stressful life happening at time. She was pre-diabetic, on anti-depressants and also has hereditary high blood pressure. Also no thyroid. So she's on a lot of meds. Being keto for about a month, she stopped taking statins and anti-depressants. No longer pre-diabetic. I make sure she gets her blood pressure checked each month or more in case it goes down and needs readjusting.

So comes second strike, our GP's. None of the doctors at our surgery support the keto diet. I've also faced the fire. 'You need more carbs in your diet. Body needs carbs to function. High fat is unhealthy, blah blah'. I don't believe her doctor knows she's off the statins and it's simply because she's afraid to tell him and get the backlash. Her blood work hasn't given her away.

Then theirs my two eldest sisters. They don't see how much happier my mum is. They compliment the weight loss, but they always suggest she goes back on anti-depressants. She isn't depressed any more. But a slight moment of sadness or frustration with them (normal human emotion) and it's ' you wouldn't be like this if you were still on the pills'.

Then there's our neighbour, also my mums best friend. She's in her 70's and at a high risk of heart attack or stroke with her lifestyle. Drinks bottles of wine each day, junk food, past smoker, overweight. She always makes a fuss when they go out for a meal about the selectiveness and on Thursday or Saturday Lunch. Thursday is a meal and dessert which is now keto friendly each week. Saturday is roast. Do keto friendly gravy and we have cauli mash instead of roast potatoes. (tried roasting radishes last time. tasted nice like potatoes, but weren't crispy so need to try again).

Mum and her used to live the same bad lifestyle, but once mum switched to keto and lost weight, got healthier, I feel the jealousy kicked in. Instead of trying it for herself, she just knocks it down. She also can't see us continuing after goal weight. But we both agree that we prefer the keto way of eating.
She also likes to remark I have an eating disorder just because I'm strict with weighing the food and eating within a set time. If anything it's more if I allow myself to eat whatever I want whenever I want, I can't stop myself binging. Some can do moderation, I can't.
The restrictions have made me much healthier and happier.

Anyway, sorry for the very long post there.
Point of the matter is that if what you do makes you happy, don't listen to others opinions on what they think would make you happy. You know yourself much better than they do.
