on another message board I post to (not diet related - but wedding related)...
someone posted about getting sick after she dotoxed herself of carbs...
so of course TONS of people replied back to her that "you NEEEEED carbs" "atkins is HARD" "KETOSIS IS BAD FOR YOU" etc...etc...
so I replied saying this:
I truly am not starting anything here, but I just want to say that when you stop eating processed foods and sugar (including bread and pasta) - it really IS a healthy way to live. I've been on atkins for 4 months - following the rules - and it's NOT "no carb". I enjoy dairy, nuts/seeds, berries and tons of veggees, and after a few more pounds I'll be eating legumes and beans again - i eat around 30 g carbs per day. I've lost 22 pounds and have NEVER felt better in my life.
that's not verbatim what i posted back - but seriously - it just steams me up when i see people who just aren't INFORMED. And I understand that's what it is. They are just honestly "ignorant" of the rules of atkins and only know what the mainstream has told them...but I just HAD to say something - so I hope I don't get in trouble...
