While making any big change in our lives, we have to deal with the reactions of other people, especially when they are not following this kind of diet and have to eat with you. Ideally, non-keto options should be available for them.
If friends poke into your diet choice, tell them you are satisfied with what you are eating, or have figured out what works best for your body.
