Description: LCHF Family 021: Preparing for Curious or Concerned Family at Holiday Gatherings Released: November 2, 2017 We are coming up on that time of year when extended family gatherings will be the norm. These can often be difficult to navigate, but add in the fact that your family is on this wackado new way of eating, and you may find yourselves being grilled over your choice to eat low carb, high fat when you'd rather be getting caught up with your cousins. In this episode, Anne talks about dealing with these questions directly and remembering that family members wouldn't pester us if they didn't love us so dang much. As part of this, she reviews the basic science behind LCHF eating by addressing an article that warns against LCHF eating for teens, so that all the facts are refreshed in your mind before you have to face down Crazy Uncle George and his nonstop questions about whether you're killing your kids by not feeding them juice and bread.

The SFGate article, as well as other articles from the same site talking about how healthy LCHF is and providing kid-friendly recipes for it. Ugh... I don't endorse any of those links. The point is to notice the cross-talk, not to actually do what they suggest. Much of it reflects a sorry misunderstanding of what low-carb eating should entail.
