[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2248156"] I don't get that sense in general, but what does amuse me is when folk reference my diet as "restrictive" and seem apologetic that I can't eat the alleged bounty of delights that they enjoy. The truth is my diet is very far from restrictive to me. I eat everything they [think they] can't with gay abandon, and I don't [B][U]want[/U][/B] what they eat. I have a few keto/carnivore friends who have seen the change in me and adopted the same lifetsyle, but the majority simply cannot comprehend a life without crisps, crackers, bread, pasta and wine gums. Just the thought of it so alien to them that they cannot fathom a world without it. Mind blown, kind of thing. So yes I suppose I get pity in that regard, but I just smile and carry on. You can explain stuff to people but you can't understand it for them. C'est la vie :cool: [/QUOTE]
