Overheard at work

That point of arguing vs listening is key. It’s why I choose to stay silent more often than not. I have gotten so much hate for losing weight as it is in general, so happy to avoid the negativity.

Would sweep the knee and do a take down, put one of them into a rear naked choke and scream “Keto is GOOD! Say it! SAY IT!!” until they said Keto is good.

Yes, and while you have them in that choke hold, give them a noogie on the head.

When do you jump in to counter keto misinformation? I am an intern at a school and 2 teachers in the hall were commenting on someone’s weight loss.

Hey Carolyn CONGRATULATIONS on your 115 lbs lost OMG!!! That is so amazing!!! I think you have plenty of authority to speak on the subject to anyone. As in, “I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation and just wanted to let you know that I’ve lost 115 lbs on keto and am very healthy. There’s a lot of misinformation out there!” I would still pull one of the teachers aside and say something like that, myself… but I am pretty ballsy when it comes to these sorts of things. I haven’t had significant weight loss yet even though I’ve been learning about all of this and made several attempts over the past 5 years. I just started again recently and would STILL break in and correct misinformation… but that’s me Congrats again on your success and do what you feel is ok in that environment. Thanks for posting!

I am on a statin (but was well before I started keto), and my doctor just said I could cut the dose in half.

Hey John I just fixated on this statement because I heard someone in the ketoverse say that statins are pretty scary and that you need to take CoQ10 to keep from damaging your heart. Just an FYI but of course look into it yourself and CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!!
