    a little scared

    so today i was eating lunch and someone came up to me and said "i thought you were trying to LOSE weight, why are you eating mayonnaise???". It kinda scared me cause I have always been taught that to lose weight you should not eat stuff like mayo and fat and should always eat low fat, fruits, veggies ect. I have read the book but it is still kinda scary..anyone have any words of encouragement???

    Yeah ignore them!! this WOE is different for sure... your not eating any sugar, and thats literally none!!! other than natural sugars....

    After 14 days eating like this, you'll know who's in the right! just watch that weight drop off you!

      Try not to let them get to you, alaska

      Once you start to lose weight you will find those same people asking you for tips on how to drop their extra poundage!!

      Keep up the good work

        I can't believe that someone would be that rude to you! I hate it when people try and tell you that everything you're doing to lose weight is wrong with this WOE - they usually know absolutely nothing about it, and are just going on stupid hyped-up scaremonger stories they've heard second hand.

        I have been on several low-fat diets, and have lost 4lbs one week then over the next few weeks put on 3 and end up completely starving and obsessed with food - the most I ever lost this way was about 6lbs in 3 months.
        The only WOE that has ever worked for me is low-carb. It IS very scary to put faith in such a high fat diet but for me at least, I was probably eating just as much fat before, when I wasn't on any diet, AND I was eating all the carbs too! Now, even though I could, I don't really eat bacon and eggs for breakfast everyday and a steak for lunch and dinner (as the naysayers tend to think) - I eat a load of veggies, fresh meat and fish - how can anyone say that that is wrong!
        The results will speak for themselves, I promise you.

            What a good observation
            I beta lot of us would find our fat and protein numbers would be similar to our pre-Atkins way of eating, so we are not actually eating MORE fat then before, just more in proportion to the carbs we now eat.
