Hi Jack,

I think that the more you do your own thing, the more they will eventually
accept. It might take a long time, and they might never "get it" but just
keep doing your own thing. It will become very natural for you. I do this
when eating out with friends, or my coworkers at work. At work I eat the
same things for breakfast and lunch (fresh pork side (uncured bacon) and
eggs for breakfast, and two beef patties for lunch). 

What types of foods do you eat? It you're doing paleo, as in meat, fat,
fruits, veggies, nuts, that is a fairly (well a lot of variety). 

What exactly do they say or do to you?

Persevere! They will be coming to you for help with their, um, as you said
below! ;)

Hello all

Been on the list for a while, first post here. 

Used to live by myself but due to financial considerations moved back in
with parents. Finding it a bit hard to do the caveman thing [basic paleo
with occasional lentils] and I woke up one day and realised that my
compliance with the 'norm' around the house has result in some severe
fatassery [oh the shame!]. 

So I'm thinking of getting back into my old routine, but find it a little
hard to disassociate with the completely unsympathetic [quite the opposite]
people and environment? 


I'm sure some of you guys have pulled this off?

Any advice? :)

Jack
