 If you've already made the great decision to go low carb, keto or carnivore, there are no reasons you should be suffering at all, especially in social conditions. Either njroute22.com here with a quick public service announcement for those dabbling with or fully entrenched in the low carb, keto, carnivore lifestyle. One thing I read all the time in interviews with people who are either trying or experiencing or doing low carb, keto or carnivore is the one thing they run into problem wise is social situations where they go out to eat with their friends or what have you or what people think of them. Number one, first and foremost, never give a crap what people think of you. It doesn't matter. What matters most is what works for you and that's that. Number two, and we've mentioned this in the past on our blog. I can't remember which story, just go find it. It's eating out at restaurants. It's like a ritual, a social ritual, a human ritual. We've all done it. I've done it many times in the past where you go out to eat with your friends and so on and that's like what you're one way of or one of the few ways you socialize. You get together at a table, you chit chat, you eat and blah blah blah. Take pictures of your food and put them up on Instagram, whatever. We really think that restaurants should be avoided. It's hard to eat low carb and keto and carnivore at a restaurant even though some try to accommodate. They have some good barbecue places but hey, PS they have sugar in their sauces. Eating out doesn't need to be a major human thing. It's recent. It wasn't that way with the cavemen. They didn't eat out. They killed an animal and they sat around and piqued out on it. Restaurants for us, for instance, we don't eat out. Every now and then there's an emergency. You've got to stop somewhere and get something because you've got a screaming carload full of maniacs but eating out is number one expensive. Number two, they usually have low income people cooking and even if you go to a five star restaurant, I don't know. If you don't cook for yourself, you really can't be in control of what you're putting in your mouth and I think that there should be no social worries about what people think of you or the difficulty of eating or this pressure. You see everybody picking out on french fries, pizza, whatever it may be, high carb items and you're sitting there, you're eating just a piece of meat or what have you. Yeah, you're a little bit of an outcast. That's why you don't have to eat out. Just don't eat at home. Eat once a day and find other ways to socialize with your friends or acquaintances. It's that simple. Don't worry about it. Eat out and stop giving a crap about what other people think and when they see you the next time and you're looking great and feeling great, you don't have brittle nails, bad skin, bags under your eyes from being unable to sleep, just don't worry about it. Kick that part of your life to the curb and that's it. Have a nice week ahead.
