NP. I'd eat one of the tacos whole and drink all of the drink, since I have one drink maybe once a month.

And that would be a whole meal? No wonder I need to lose 30 pounds.

Yeah, if you're slathering ketchup on everything you eat, morning-noon-and-night, you're not doing yourself any favors.

But if you use ketchup to dip some fries, or go alongside your scrambled eggs, every now and again? You're fine.

*Just like cookies are fine sometimes!*

Moderation. Balance. Did I just blow your mind?

If you're counting carbs you learn that the little things add up. You may not want to waste your carbs on stupid things like ketchup or sweetened creamer. You may prefer a sugar free bbq sauce to a sugary one.

Of course, people who are eating fries aren't going to worry about a little thing like carbs in ketchup. Might as well enjoy them, right?

I never count carbs/calories. That's obsessive and food-focused and not how healthy/normal/slender people eat, and I'm a healthy/normal/slender person.

Do I have fries and ketchup at every opportunity? No. But when they sound extra-good, I have them. I don't plow through a whole serving mindlessly; I stop when I'm satiated. Sometimes, that means I eat almost all of them. Sometimes, that means I eat less than half of them. They're not evil, they're not going to bring me a deep sense of comfort--they're just fries.

Do I grab a pedestrian-looking bagel off the conference spread just because it's free, and it's there? No. But if a colleague brings in specialty bagels that look or smell particularly delicious, you bet I'm having one--and again, that could just mean half.

I'm counting carbs because the alternative would be me developing type 2 diabetes. Enjoy your "normal", I used to be that way, too .

I will!

If and when I ever need to count carbs, I will. But don't roll up to a conversation about whether it's OK to eat ketchup (hint: it is). It's not *for you,* because you have a health issue. No one here is talking about how one should be eating with certain health issues.

If people prefer to avoid ketchup because they are avoiding sugar, in general, as a way to prevent health issues then they can absolutely say that ketchup has too much sugar in their opinion.

FWIW, I do not have Type 2 diabetes because I prefer to prevent that health issue through proper diet.

If someone just straightforwardly says (ideally, only after being asked) why they avoid ketchup? That's cool.

My obnoxious co-worker who goes on-again-off-again Keto is so damn annoying to eat lunch with. He's the guy who will look at what you ordered and comment on it. Sooooo effing virtuous that he alone knows the secrets of the universe when it comes to ketchup. Then, three months later, like clockwork, he's off again and housing burgers, fries AND a milkshake while I have some fries (with evil ketchup!) a bunless turkey burger and water, like I always have, because that's what I prefer.

That would be super annoying and I don't comment on what other people order. I might say "That looks good" or something like that but no way would I criticize their choice. That would be terribly rude.

I get bunless burgers w/cheese, water and a side salad or a steamed vegetable no fries.

I should clarify. If I was given that particular meal I would eat the filling out of the tacos and have a sip of the drink. If I had ordered these tacos, I would have ordered steamed veggies to go along with it, maybe some slices of avocado and club soda instead of the Margarita.

Can I just say that the folks here who would just eat the damn food sound like a more fun, laidback bunch? And likely better in bed too?

Again, some more: No one cares if you are on Keto or some other program. This whole thing with me saying it's annoying when someone is "on program" and acting morally superior to others who are eating fairly normally.

If my co-worker just did his Keto thing and minded his own business, I wouldn't care AT ALL. But the thing with a lot of these fad programs is that people act superior and high and mighty, and tell you all about the evils of ketchup.

I just want to say to them, "So you lost 30 pounds; that's great. I never have had 30 pounds to lose, and I know how to enjoy food without obsessing about it. So shut up about the damn ketchup."

I can assure you that for those of us who do low carb as a lifestyle we are pretty sick of explaining, yet again, why we're ordering our burgers bunless and why we prefer to get a salad instead of fries. I actually don't pay that much attention to what other people are eating and I probably wouldn't notice if you were sprinkling sugar on your french fries. If I did notice I wouldn't say anything.

Is Obesity Code helpful if I'm already doing low carb and IF but weightloss is soooo slow (2 lbs a month at best)? I am no longer overweight anymore but not my ideal weight either.

My teenagers and husband eat ketchup. I am personally avoiding it because I am in the process of losing weight. Again, here I am explaining why *I* do not eat ketchup. Has not a thing to do with you! Really.

I think it's an interesting read. When you don't have a lot to lose it does take longer to lose the weight, assuming you are eating enough calories to maintain lean muscle mass which is what you want to do.
