No. They pretty much all agree that I look better, that I complain less about aches and pains, and that I generally seem to be doing well.

On the other hand, there may have been a few interventions about "please stop talking about this godforsaken paleo crap all the time, you are so annoying..."

"she is a lifelong WeightWatchers devotee"

Lol, no doubt.

I just take them to my computer, open my references bookmarks and lecture them for 6 hours. :)

You wanna call my diet a "fad", "pseudo-science" "artery-clogging", etc, you will have to engage in the discussion of nutritional science. That's how it works. Finger-wagging is unacceptable if exempt from two-way dialogue.

My doctor tried - until he saw my vastly improved lab work, my shrinking waist line, and the falling number on the scale.

It's always been my experience that people who "stage interventions" love the drama that surrounds the intervention -- you know, the gossip, the hype, the getting-everybody-involved aspect -- more than the person that they're trying to intervene.

That said, nope. Nobody has tried to intervene. If anything, they're thrilled that I finally eat like a "normal" person now (they're not actually aware of the things NOT in my diet because I don't make a big deal about it; all they see are the yummy things I /do/ eat), versus my highly restrictive vegetarian days. :)

Yes! My mom always says I am losing too much weight. And recently I had extremely stressful events happening in my life and I got the flu. My girlfriend said to me that I need to go to the doctor and make sure I tell them I on the Paleo Diet!

On the other hand, seeing my high school chums always results in, "Wow you look great, your skin looks awesome...what are you doing?"

Yes sort of, a friend with a cigarette in one hand and beer in the other suggested I should try to balance things more (i.e. eat bread, drink beer). It's bad when these things alienate you from friends and family, so I do try to keep a lid on it socially these days.

I was asked if I had been ill too, for having visibly lost weight (I was wearing clothes). People these days have a misconception of what is thin and what is lean, I would class myself as the latter.

no, but my wife is pissed because she failed to eat paleo, she is fat and has every fat book ever printed like some how that was the answer, also she has hundreds of exercise DVDs thats not working either, Now she is just jealous because i will weigh in less than her soon and I'm 6 feet 4 inches tall. she has tried everything but lipo suction. her weight will kill her someday.

My mother-in-law, normally reserved (bless her heart), admitted she worries about how we feed our daughter. That was all she said, but I find it ironic that I'm the one who had to limit them to ONE ice cream trip per visit with my daughter. This was after I busted them trying to hide an ice cream rendezvous from me by washing my daughter's chocolate-stained pants. I knew by the smell of their washer detergent. Grr...

The positive results are staring them in the face and they just can't be convinced that everything they've been told is wrong. My MIL says things all the time like, "There are many ways to be healthy," "Everything in moderation," and "I just want to enjoy myself". She thinks our WOE is crazy. And yet she's the one who's had a facial procedure to remove wrinkles, is on blood pressure meds, and is gaining weight despite her treadmill walks and Jenny Craig frozen meals. Yeah, how's that moderation working for ya?

Ive gotten, and most importantly to me my clients almost always get 'What are you taking?' 'No, really, what are you taking?' 'Is it that new HCG?' lol
