Default Calling low-carbing single Christians

I would love to find other Christians that are struggling with a low carb lifestyle. I have been reading the Christian mom thread and I think is wonderful. The problem is – I am single (no kids). Are there any single Christians struggling with this lifestyle? Lets encourage each other in our eating habits and our faith.

Ecclesiastes 4: 10 - 11 Two people are better than one, because they get more done by working together. If one falls down, the other can help him up. But it is bad for the person who is alone and falls, because no one is there to help.

Hi I'm Christian and trying to live low-carb. I don't know how many else are out there. I find it hard to diet while being a Christian some times. I'm not very overweight and so I worry that I will appear vain or overy interested in earthly things if others know I eat low carb, because even if I know it is a WOL not a diet, other people consider it a diet.

I'm a single christian, been low carbing for quite a long time now! Well....., doing my best that is .

It is for sure a struggle :^(. Some people just don't understand, this makes the dating scene extremely hard. It sure would be nice to have a Low carbin G/F for sure though! Indeed 2 are better than one, especially when they understand eachothers issues.

Count me in. This is great. I tend to shy away from social events at church so I'm not tempted by all the good cooks. I hear everytime I stay *Honey a little won't hurt anything* I know they mean well, but my willpower is low around all that good food. I had to bring donuts every Sunday for a month. I just new I would breath the carbs in they smelled so good!Ha!!! It's great to talk keep me filled in.Thanks, Steph

I know what you mean. Every Sunday our congregation goes out to eat. If I go out to eat I usually have to pig out,lol. I try not to go out that often. I will go out one day a week. Usually saturday night. I hope we all have a wonderful weekend.
