Angry need a rant about flatmates

well...

been low carbing for a while.

comments been made like 'you eat weird stuff' and 'why dont you ever have stuff liek pasta or rice with things like that'

and also people have noticed ive been losing weight and comments made about that and so now im just being open about low carbing.

one of them came back from somewhere and said 'why havet you gone to lunch with everyone else' so i just openly said 'because i dont eat carbs' and so got all the usual carbs are good fat is bad blah blah.
this guy is training to be a doctor and he still doesnt understand!

everyone really annoys me because theyre all so ignorant to atkins and if i try to explain they just dont listen.

Doctors don't get much training in nutrition. You have more knowledge about it than he does.

So don't explain--you know what you're doing!
