Stupid things people say when they hear you're dieting

Truffle shuffle.

no.


Truffle shuffle!!

"THAT'S NOT ON YOUR DIET!"

'OMG you need to stop losing weight. You're almost as skinny as I am!' (I aint skinny and neither were/are you!)

'So, do you eat, like, salads all the time?' (Sure. If salads come in the form of burgers, fries, and almost everything else.)

"Gasp! You're actually eating FOOD?' (Yes, *kitten*. Like every single day, I eat food. Just because I don't eat half my weight in food and booze doesn't mean I'm starving!)

'So you don't get like.. hungry?" (Yeah, cuz y'know.. when you start to lose weight, that 'taking in nourishment for your body' just gets old. These days I feed through photosynthesis. Mmmmm sunlight.)

'Can you still drink and eat pizza?' (F!ck yeah!)

"Girl you look good! You should stop dieting!" (1.No diet. 2.Falcon PUNCH)

Here is an example, I tell them I eat whatever, I just watch my intake and count my calories and sometimes people will say, " well, I'm not dieting, so I can eat what I want!" Just seems like they don't care and 9 times out of 10 they really don't.

My roommate...

"Why do you take that protien Powder?"

"You don't eat enough." I'm only eating around 3000 calories a day.

From other people,

"Did you stop eating carbs?" No, I eat plenty of them.

"Did you stop drinking beer?" Nope, Just don't drink as much

"It must suck not to eat real food." I had a steak last night.

"What type of diet are you on?" I'm not on a diet... I just eat healthy.

I love the "real food" questions. I have steak, shrimp, chicken, potatoes, veggies of all kinds. Apparently if it doesn't come in a box with instructions on the label, it's not real right? By the way, I do the extra protein shots too. Each one has 26g. I take them right before I work out. Makes me feel better and I'm not as sore the next day. :happy:

LOL

When people hear that you're making a choice for yourself that isn't the choice they are making for themselves, they get defensive.

My response: This is a person choice. If you don't approve, that's okay.

I love your responses. People are ridiculous aren't they? :laugh:

Regarding counting calories and watching macros:
"Special occasions shouldn't count against what you're doing... They're "free-bees"

I didn't read all of the post so I am sorry if this is a repeat but, "What did you do to lose so much weight? What diet are you on?"
I smile-"It isn't a diet. I am counting my calories and exercising. It really is true that it works."

Mom: "I'll pay you ten dollars per pound you lose."
Me: "Ok I'll take that bet."

...She had to cap it at 50 pounds or $500 dollars and I got a shopping spree I have to give her credit though, she really was trying to help and it worked.

Now THAT is a great story.

wow ive heard that one before way to many times

"If you really want to lose weight, here's what you do. Every day, eat 2 cups of brown rice, 1 cup of carrot juice, and 2 cups of milk... and *that's all you should eat*."

The funny thing is, I just entered that "diet" into my diary for tomorrow, just for grins. Using whole milk, it's a sparse but relatively well-balanced diet. It's 816 calories, so you certainly couldn't LIVE on it comfortably, but it at least has approximately the right proportions of fat, carbs, and proteins.

In fact, by doubling the milk and adding a cup of rice, the diet is only lacking ten grams of fat to be a perfect daily intake for me, plus I'd have to add a little sodium and look into a multivitamin or something.

Not that I would want to eat the same thing every day or find that satisfying, but DAMN that's close to an ideal combination if you had to pick only three things to eat. This doctor may not be so much of a quack, other than the silly "and ONLY eat that" BS.

First off I would starve eating only this and it wouldn't do anything for my diabetes either. Maybe cholesterol hmm let me think about this for a minute, NOT. :noway:

Oh I hate when people make comments about not being able to eat in front of me, or apologize for eating something I can't. Like seriously guys, I have self-control and I'm not going to be drooling and feeling bad for myself b/c you're eating cookies.

People always keep asking if I'm on a low carb diet when I tell them that I'm trying to eat less carbs.. But nope, I just eat too much of them compared to the fat and protein I'm eating. One person actually thought that I was avoiding carbs at all causes.
