What do you do when your family says you are eating too many eggs? page 3

[DinoHunter]

Next time they mention Eggs+Cholesterol+Death yadda yadda...
go get an egg,, say "YUMMY YUMM Cholesterol" crack it raw into your mouth and slurp it down with plenty of Nom Nom Nom noises

Repeat until they stop bringing up the subject....

It's really none of your business. Thank you for your concern.

If that doesn't work, f&*ck off is a complete sentence.

Play dumb: "I don't think I eat too many eggs. There are so many chickens in the world laying eggs, I doubt we'll run out."

[Drumroll]

They will say the High Carb Low Fat diet will be more sustainable because they will simply say, "you just need to have willpower and then you can do it and stick with it and once you see your cholesterol and triglyceride numbers shoot up from the eggs you will need to stop eating like that and eat healthy foods - all that cholesterol and fat is just not good for you."

I do like the earplugs suggestion though. That reminds me of a quote I saw the other day on Pinterest, "Listen, smile, agree, then do whatever the f**k you were gonna do anyway" - Robert Downey Jr.

I've actually been reading that high carb diets are now being linked to higher tiglyceride levels in many recent studies. If that's their concern, I suggest you pull up a few of those studies to show them that it's not as simple as they think.

I did this with cream when my grandma was questioning me.

Her: "You *don't* drink cream by itself?"
Me: (gulps cream)
Her: "Nooooo"

Yes. Do this. If I ever get harassed about my egg intake I am doing this.

That's great!
I am going to look for a moment like this on purpose.

Say: "Actually scientists have recently discovered that the choline content of egg yolk actually protects you from heart disease!"

They'll probably say "really?! Cool!"
because A) people blindly trust "scientists" and B) they don't want to admit they have no idea what choline is.

If they are actually interested then say "yeah, in fact, the toast that most people have with their eggs is what really does the damage. I have this great book/article/website you should read..."

I cook up a 5 egg scramble and eat it in front of them, with a hearty serving of wild boar sausage, some greens sauted in coconut milk and a cup of coffee. Pretty soon they want some!
