5 Tips to deal with food pushers over the holiday times and forever. Well-meaning people who say things like, “One piece won’t hurt…” “I made this specially for you….” “Come one, it’s the holidays….” in order to get you to eat off your keto diet.
Express gratitude
“Thank you so much for making this. I appreciate you making the holidays so special. I’m going to fill up on a few other things though.”
Be honest – politely
“I notice I feel better when I stay away from sugar and starch. I’m sure that’s delicious though.”
Delay the matter
“I’m pretty full right now, but maybe I’ll try that later.” (Even if you have no intention of having it later. Most people will forget anyway!)
Change the subject
“Wow that looks amazing. Everything here looks great! Aren’t the decorations beautiful?”
Be firm if needed
“No thank you,” is a complete sentence. You are not obligated to defend or explain your choices when you deal with food pushers..
