A woman was left furious after her mother-in-law told her to cut all carbs and sugars from her diet.

Taking to Reddit, the woman explained that her mother-in-law is a health freak and even pushed her son to quit sugar and carbs and opt for a healthier lifestyle.

But while she was baking cookies and trying some of the cookie dough mixture, her mother-in-law suddenly gave her a lecture about what she should eat.

“My mother-in-law and her mum are health freaks,” the woman wrote. “Every time I see them, especially her mum, they’re always talking about new supplements or how this and that are bad for you.

“The other day we were making Christmas cookies and of course white sugar was not used because it is “horribly unhealthy for you” and so they used some sort of fruit sugar thing.”

The woman then shared that her mother-in-law and her mother were saying how bad it was to eat the cookie dough mixture.

“Then proceeded to say how I’ll feel better and my son will be healthier if I cut off sugars, carbs, and went to eat gluten free things,” she expressed.

“My son and I are healthy. Please stop pushing your diet down my throat and making me feel bad,” she added.

People on Reddit were quick to support the woman, with one person commenting: “To be fair, raw cookie dough does carry a risk of salmonella (eggs) and various bacteria (flour) but the rest of it is rubbish.”

Another said: “Your kid doesn’t need to grow up hearing about how sugar is poison/unhealthy and how carbs are bad. It’s not going to set the boy up for a healthy relationship with food.”
