After politely refusing such offers a few million times, it became so automatic that I wasn't even thinking about whether I really wanted that donut or cookie.<BR/><BR/>Most people just shrug and walk away, never asking why I won't eat it, but if they do happen to ask, I don't generally even give a dissertation on how much better low carb is for you, just explain that I feel bad on that sort of food. At that point, they're probably assuming it's either an allergy or something that upsets my stomach for some reason. I may be missing out on an opportunity to educate people about the dangers of too much sugar in their diet, and how ridiculously high the RDA is for carb consumption these days, but most people aren't looking to get into a discussion about healthy eating when they offer you a muffin or piece of cake, they just want to share what they consider to be tasty.<BR/><BR/>Of course I really do feel really awful on that sort of food. Nothing worse than having a blood sugar spike, followed by the inevitable blood sugar crash from too much insulin.Caliannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00055882170095208056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1155830108447990882006-08-17T11:55:00.000-04:002006-08-17T11:55:00.000-04:00LOL!
