I was at a GNC yesterday (new to this....help!) looking for a low carb breakfast drink...I've already had it with eggs...

Anyway, the clerk told me to mix the vanilla with fruit, to make it taste better. I told her that I didn't want any carbs, and she said, "oh, but it's a good carb" - and I just didn't bother.

I plan to tell people simply that I can't eat carbohydrates because my body doesn't metabolize them properly, same as a diabetic with sugar. I'm hoping by making it sound like I have a "medical condition", which I don't wonder if CA shouldn't be classified as such, since this has been the first week in years when I've not needed to take an afternoon nap...so there has to be something "metabolic" going on.... that no one will even try to lecture me. Afterall, would they tell a diabetic, "oh that's okay, eat just one candy..." I don't think so!

As for this being a WOL to lose weight/ gain health, etc...they will see that in time on their own. Right!
