I've had the best conversations in the low-carb aisle! The only "intervention" I've done was a poor woman reading the label of the "Hollywood Diet" which gave a friend of mine such bad diahhreah she was nearly hospitalized!(But I guess it WAS weight loss.......) I excused myself for being nosey, and told her what happened to my friend. She thanked me profusely, and we had a great chat about low carbing.

I wouldn't DREAM of going up to a stranger and bringing it up!!! When I was my heaviest, a cowardly "friend" anonymously sent me clippings about a weight loss program. That hurt. I KNEW I was overweight, and suspected others were judging me, and that sure confirmed it.

If the subject comes UP, I'll offer my experiences and opinions gladly. Sometimes, I even suspect myself of making sure the subject DOES come up....lol
