My sisters do the same thing. They critisize me about being a low carber but I've found away to stop them at least for the moment

You see, I'm border line diabetic. When I eat carbs my sugar jumps high. So I was put on a diabetic diet which is high carb and low fat. I was hospitalized and when they did my blood work found my sugar level was around 300! for an average while before I was 140.

I started low carbing about two months after this nightmare and my blood work shows my sugar level is 95 on average and I had a bonus. My bad cholestrol went from 271 to 79! My good cholestrol went from 25 to 45!. I will tell you this. All my blood work was done twice. Twice. Because the doctor couldn't believe my results. Now I don't believe everyone should low carb but if sugar reacts negatively to your body and your cholestrol is very high. I think this is the way to go.

In otherwords, results can be your defense against the negative comments you hear. Best wishes.
