Default Oh My! (other low carb forums)

I joined another low carb site today to have somewhere else to view inspirational pics and such but after going through it I decided NO THANKS!!!!!

Too confusing on a site that supports whatever you want to do. You have southbeachers, DANDR's Atkins '72, meat and egg fasters for life (thats scary!!!!)

Just too much. Wow did I mention I LOVE this forum!!!!! We all follow the same rules and so you actually know when you are doing wrong and what is healthy.

I couldnt believe when I read that some ppl do the meat and egg only fast to get into deep ketosis keeping their carbs to "0" or very close, and some just stay there and make that their WOL. Again...THAT'S SCARY!!!

But, thats another board and people make poor choices all the time but I am glad we are all here to support and help one another.

It can really be confusing to a newbie when they come for answers and everyone has tweaked diets to their own preferances and there are so many different answers they dont know what to do.

It was nice to see more pics though. Some very impressive ones like on here.

Just wanted to say "I love you guys!!!" Lucky to have found this place!

I do not know how that meat and egg fast even works, given the protein overload. Sounds so awful.

True, this is a great board!

Another way to look at being on those other boards -- spread the word of Atkins.

There are a few dedicated Atkins-followers over there who try to bring sanity to the M/E fasters, the Fat fasters, the low-cal (<800 cal) advocates, etc. It's fustrating at times, but if you believe in something...well, you just keep trying.

Or drink heavily...

It's funny you mention this. There's another site that I use to track food/exercise/measurements/bmi 'cause it has some *really* freaking awesome charts, but they have a forum section I just don't care for (hence why I spend so much time here).

I was pretty psyched when Tom started the sister boards. I love this site, and I also enjoy learning about other successful woe's. The various other boards out there are just too chaotic. Too much confusion over what's what and so on.

Default Re: Oh My! (other low carb forums)

I would never endorse any extreme plan, like M/E fasts, or any fasts for that matter .. to me, that's not healthy .. and the big question is, what happens when you go go off them?

But having said that .. its important to find the plan you can stick with for LIFE and not every plan works for every person .. even Dr. Atkins said that.

Atkins is definitely my life-choice and ADBB rocks, but I don't think it ever hurts to recognize that we're all different and have different ways of tweaking what works.
