This was my first real family “get together” since swallowing the red pill almost 1 year ago.

I can tell you, wholeheartedly, that I can’t even be in the same room as them without getting unbelievably frustrated. The amount of absolute fucking bollocks that escapes their mouth’s is obscene.

I honestly gave up after the third completely misinformed, non-logical and completely blue-pill fuelled tirade that ensued; after a few glasses of wine.

I’ve totally re-comped my physique through lifting for almost a year, and my mindset, they go hand in hand, obviously. Further to this, I have become much more intellectually advanced on topics I believe are important; due to my increase in productivity, stemming from TRP.

My family bashed any scientific explanation/evidence because Sue at work lost 6 Ib’s with her 5-2 diet and Mandy lost a stone with no carbs after 6.

They didn’t want to hear about Macronutrients, TDEE, Calories, IIFYM, Intermittent Fasting or anything else that isn’t a fad diet.

This is purely anecdotal. Anything I said got shot down with comments such as “of course you’re right” because I made logical and scientific sense and they can’t handle being proven wrong, over and over and over again by a 22 year old. I’m very good at this, because I only comment/inform on things I know about. (A TRP cornerstone)

My family acted like any SJW/White Knight would when I told them the cold hard truths about topics such as weight loss, feminism and politics.

In future, I will remember that Crab Bucket analogy, even for my family.

And fuck trying to help them. They’re already too far gone. It wasn’t difficult for me to swallow the red pill because it all made sense.

But it’s astounding how scared some people can be, of the truth, when you spell it out for them and they spit it back all over your face.
