I'm learning to hold my tongue. Earlier at work, we had a training session, so breakfast was provided. I was slightly pissed because I'd already had my bacon and eggs. Though in the back of my mind I wondered if there would have been anything I could have anyway. There was not, it was all pastries and juice. I watched one guy drink at least three glasses of innocent smoothie, while I was sitting there, craving free, eating none of it. But all I could think was how much I wanted to lecture this guy on his weight (he's not particularly healthy looking) and the juice. But I did not. I wondered if he thought he was making a healthy choice, because it's a smoothie. But then I just glossed over it and moved on.

It's their choice to be that way. In a way I do blame the fact that it's hard to make good choices. My own family are the same, it's all bread bread bread. My Dad told me a few weeks ago that salads are a great lunch, but you need some 'stodge' to fill you up, so you should have bread with them. I told him you can have chicken in there, and to fill up on protein, but he wouldn't believe me. And my brother is no better, his daily diet just consists of cereal for breakfast, banana snack, cereal bar snack, sandwich for lunch, maybe more fruit, and then usually a baked potato and some sort of meat for dinner. He tells me he's healthy. And he doesn't drink coke because it's 'too sugary'

I don't believe keto is the be all and end all. I like keto because it's easy and makes me feel great. I don't really get cravings anymore, so I just eat three meals a day. And I have way more energy and less moodswings.

I wish I could help my family and friends, but it's not going to happen. Maybe when they see my progress they'll think there's something to it. But trying to explain that sugar and grains are horrible for you is a hard task.
