Hello Jsiefert....vent away anytime. I used to get the same thing from my family too. DH said I would have a heart attack. He has High Cholesterol and his doc put him on a low fat diet. Said eat anything that flys or grows from the ground. He is doing terrible. DH shut up about my diet after he saw how the weight has been coming off....LOL Now he say's maybe he should go on LCing. But he won't give up his Pepsie, bread and mashed potatoes and gravy. He does not like anything new.
Keep to your guns and let it go in one ear and out the other. Please do not let anyone talk you out of LCing. I tell people that it is the combination of High Carb and Low Carb foods that cause the cholesterol. That is what they are eating and since you know now the truth about HC food, you are not going to put all that junk food in your body like they do. No one lessons to me either, but it does shut them up.
