In the discussion there's an example of a patient who started eating
wheat again in spite of the health benefits iof going off of it. The
patient went back on wheat because of social pressure.

It's not a hypothetical example even if the details are made up. Dr
Atkins reported a fair number of his patients did exactly that for the
same reason. Who among us has not faced endless opposition to eating
low carb? The pressure to go off low carbing never ends.

You know how married couples tend to only have other married couples
for friends? And how singles tend to only have other singles for
friends? I tend to only have other low-carbers, runners, cyclists,
athletes, health and fitness people, etc., as friends. I don't have to
keep explaining all this stuff to them; they already know. And they
tend not to have CRAP FOOD laying around, as a temptation. Then,
"social pressure" works for me, not against me.

I haven't. Of course, I only have eating occasions with my extended family
and apparently I raised my children right. We have a variety of vores in
the family, vegetarians, eat everything types and the sole low carber, me.
Of course, the fact that I lost weight on low carb helps to convince people
that it's a good thing. The strange thing is that my brother and SIL who
turned me on to low carb have gone off and she has gained quite a bit of
weight.

I haven't.

I am encouraged by reports of people with experiences that different
from mine. Thanks to you and Dogman!

For me it happened the other way around. My SIL and her husband saw me
lose a lot of weight so they tried low carbing, but not on any specific
plan. Not knowing what to do they continued having cravings and gave up
and regained.
