[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2426878, member: 517579"] The entire world has been told that carbs are good and fat is bad for over half a century. The media repeat it at every opportunity. The ides that this might be wrong, and that the "obesity epidemic" might just possibly be related to this advice, doesn't seem to occur to people. I'm not surprised your friends are confused. There you are doing the "wrong" things and doing well on them. When this has happened to me I don't try to correct them (that's too big a job), but I do point out that I am a Type 2 diabetic and my system cannot deal with carbohydrate. I sometimes ask if they know much about Type 2 diabetes. That at least usually stops the "you should eat my idea of healthy food" line. The worst, though, are the T2s who don't even attempt to manage the condition and regard those of us who want to as a living reprimand. [/QUOTE]
