You will likely get all kinds of reactions b/c people are IGNORANT about their bodies, what to eat, health in general, etc, etc. They retain very little information about something unimportant to them, so low-carb info is just not on their radar... Plus, they remember that it was called dangerous, etc, for all those years. My own daughter told me that when you go off of it you gain all the weight back-well, she's right, but I'm staying on for life!

You can always try giving less information-say "I'm watching what I eat" or I'm sensitive to certain foods and have to be careful". Get creative!

Good Luck, and hang in there-
