Default at the market

passing by a gentleman, I hear
"mmm, 3 carbs"
I do a quick turn around and said
"Atkins?"
"yep"
"induction?"
"OWL"
"those carbs are ok"
"thanks, have a good weekend"
"you too"

and find my daughter giving me the o-O look

"you guys are like a cult, you have your own language!"

silly moments in our day!

That's funny, April! I've had some similar moments from time to time. There is some jargon peculiar to this way of life.

I wonder....if someone NOT in "the know" overheard one of us say:"I'm back in ketosis now", would they think ketosis is a suburb of our city and we just moved back? Or would they be thinking that ketosis is a new-age religion, and we've just returned to practicing it? Or, maybe they think ketosis is a state of being, like remission from cancer, and they just don't realize it IS A STATE OF BEING....a fat-burning state!

Who knows?
