Default Re: I hope I don't get in trouble...

i just checked - and someone who posted after me said, and I quote "if you're going to give up carbs, you must give up ALL carbs"

yeah - i'm not going to start a fight. I said my piece/peace and hopefully she'll listen...

But it does suck - when someone spouts off about low-fat everyone's like "oh yeah - that's SO healthy - THAT'S the way to go!" yet someone says 1 think about low-carb and they totally attack.

Course now that I myself know better, it's not surprising only cuz i already know how bass-ackwards this world is - why would dieting be any different?

doesn't anyone realize that what "they've" always said is what is making the world fat?!!!

oh well. all that matters, i guess, is that we here all know better!!!!

I know - no matter WHAT i post or say about how good atkins is to someone who believes in low-fat that it's a losing battle (as i've been there myself). all I can do is sit back and feel...i'm not sure - humor? pity? nothing?...

I guess it's just hard because since this is what I truly do believe in, and I KNOW how healthy it is - when people attack it's just human nature to want to "attack" back. I just want everyone on that other board to know that atkins is NOT evil...that giving up bad carbs and sugar is NOT giving up ALL carbs completely/totally...and that's exactly it, Claire, "SUGAR IS NOT A FOOD GROUP!" (i'm so putting that in my siggy! lol)
