It's funny how people feel free to share their unsolicited opinions about personal choices such as diet! One night my mother-in-law commented on how unhealthy she though my diet was because of "all that fat". I was eating a small steak, sautéed veggies and a salad. Yes there was a fair amount of fat in the meal, but I had to chuckle, because she was eating a big plate of sugary sauced BBQ ribs with French fries. Not low fat OR low sugar. I've learned to not bother responding to ignorant comments like that, and I try to only share my knowledge about low carbing when someone is genuinely interested (as opposed to trying to criticize or start an argument).
