you know you are a low carber if:

you pick out the shredded carrots in the coleslaw mix!

jes

stop stop!! my sides are hurting. this is so true. done this before!!!

-when your notice local grocery store stocked up on atkins or low carb products and you are sooo excited and stand around looking at all the products and reading the labels for 20 mins. and fill the cart with a ton of new items just in case they're not there the next time you come back to shop

-i too want to tell all fat people to do lcing -read an atkins book-so that they can lose weight and feel and especially LOOK happy!

-when everyone at work asks everyday ' what are you eating for lunch' "can i see! " and not believe you are melting away by eating all that

-when you are so tired of washing so many dishes and pots and pans from cooking so much food that you may invest in a shopping spree just to buy aluminum foil pans

-when you only get a legal treat after exercising religiously during the week and plan to do so every day for the next week

-when you refig/freezer contains: frozen meat, cooked meats, and meats that you are going to cook

-when everyone instinctively asks' can you eat 'this kind of fruit' or 'a little piece of that' or 'some of this' "when you are lowcarbing" and you give a brief speech about the atkins do's and don'ts

oh yeah!! add this one:

-when you are on this forum for hours at work and promise yourself to catch up on your work tomorrow or you're not getting on the forum

This one inspired me...when people see all the good food you make with weird ingredients and start referring to you as "the Low-Carb MacGuyver"

-When you realize the true evil of sugar alcohols and the potential embarrassment of "carb farts"

- When your six year old son politely announces to a server that you can't have that bread or look at the offered dessert tray because you're "on a healthy low carb diet."

- When you find yourself making recommendations for types of produce, meats or nutritional shakes as you peer at another nearby indecisive shopper- and then singing the praises of Dr. Atkins

- When strangers do not believe you are actually you when you show them your driver's license to identify yourself or your age
