[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 954919, member: 88961"] My point about "high fat", "Low carb" or any of the other titles we use is that they are suggestive on a personal level. It's a bit like hot and cold. One man's high, low, hot is another's low, high and/or cold. For example, I was shopping in our local supermarket yesterday morning. I didn't have a jacket on; only a lightweight shirt and very light cardigan, and I was chilled to the bone by the time I left the shop, especially as I was in the chilled dairy area for some of the time. Most folks were quite happy, and some with fewer layers on than me, but firstly, since I skinnied up, I do notice the chill a lot more, and secondly, I am acclimatised to warmer climates, due to my preference to avoid the worst of our weather by heading off to the Tropics. So my chilled is most people's just right. My "lovely and warm" has most people asking about aircon and fans. Words like modified or reduced almost always generate a question back for clarification, but at that point you can engage in conversation rather than be facing a default setting of "I could never do low carb or high fat because it's bad for you". That blocking stance can take some teasing back from, whereas expressing it's up to the individual to set their own bar can be easier to swallow. That's just my experience. I'd also say I feel it's even more important if it's in a presentation to a larger group not to lose a great chunk of the audience at the intro stage, or they can become disinterested and disruptive to the rest of the group, as they've already made their minds up before they have much chance of getting clarification. That's my take anyway. [/QUOTE]
