I'll wait a yr before I start telling people... then I can tell them my BSs are
down and so is my weight... and leave it at that...
These are friends that all.. except my brother.. have Diabetes and have
been told by their dr's to eat 4-6times a day... and think an A1c of 7
is doing good...
they don't understand why I eat so much saturated fat... I know they
won't understand why I eat only 5hrs in a day... and they really don't
want to hear why I believe it's good for me...

> The other option is to have the courage of your convictions and just tell them straightforwardly about your WOE. I've been doing this for years, and people either just accept it matter-of-factly or sometimes show real interest, and then an exchange of information ensues. Since I'm obviously doing well on it, it's hard for people to simply rubbish or dismiss.
