on OP's topic…Coming from an overweight family myself, I understand your situation. However, I think CNS could be difficult for someone who is addicted to carbs and/or doesn't understand why a ketogenic diet is not only safe but healthy. 6 days ULC and 1 night high carb is kind of extreme for some people and if they "cheat" on ULC days they'll mess it all up.Case in point I recommended a friend to go ULC and he wasn't getting results. Turned out he was eating fruit almost daily.I think just getting them to eat less carbs (<50g?) in general, and eating most of those carbs at night, would be a good start.One of my goals when I go home this year is to get my family to eat more Paleo-type foods. I'll have to find a way to get rid of all the "healthy" oatmeal and whole wheat bread they keep around the house. Wish me luck! 🙂

That's what I mean. To someone who never dieted and doesn't know what a carbohydrate is, they are going to have a really hard time on ULC. And friend probably craved carbs and ate a piece of fruit. He probably thought "Hey it's fruit, it has to be healthy!" My family would do the same thing.

I'm one of those people who used to be addicted to wheat and sugar. Hell, I used to sit down in front of the TV and eat a whole bag of apples and think I was one of the healthiest people on the planet. People can change if they want to. We can learn and we can adapt. Obviously, they have to want it bad enough, but have a little faith in other people's intelligence and abilities. Don't push your eating habits on others, but be there to give advice when they do ask. Be a role model. Be patient. Make sure you really understand why you're doing what you're doing so you can explain it to others.

It's so frustrating. It's like you know the world is round, but everybody else thinks the world is flat [ignore the inaccurate historical reference]
