Default I report. Yoiu decide. Part III

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.
