OP if you're interested in having a real discussion about eating low carb, rather than debating your WOE, you might try here http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group.0

Seriously? All this study did was compare a low carb diet and a low fat diet. The low carb diet was more effective on people that were already at risk for T2.
So I guess I'm missing your point. Or you don't understand the study you posted.
Ok fine. great at critiquing studies, but doesn't post study herself. Please feel free to do so. We will all benefit.
Don't be condescending about someone not understanding a study that they posted. You really never know the level of expertise of the person you are trying to insult.
So if you post something that's incorrect/doesn't support your stance, we can't say because you're a secret genius?

You are free to eat in whatever way you chose, but keep in mind you want to find something that's going to be successful for YOU. If you're looking at a list of low carb foods and only finding one (fish) that you like, really consider if a low carb diet is for you. I tried low carb a few years ago and I think I made it three weeks before I admitted to myself that for me, it was miserable. I was hungry. I missed fruit and lentils and beans and as a vegetarian, it was just too hard for me.
If you don't like greek yogurt or cottage cheese, don't try to just suck it up and eat them anyway. Find a way that works for you to incorporate foods you love into your diet!
But like I said, it's totally up to you on how you want to eat!
Here's a pretty good list: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the-ultimate-list-of-40-low-carb-foods.html
Lol ya I eat 260g a day unless it is rest day. Low carb does nothing for you other than make you sad. Carbs for gains!
Speak for yourself. I've been much happier since I went low carb.0 -

Where did I insult you?
I'm not the one claiming that carbs are bad, and that eating them will cause medical issues, so why do I need to post a study? You made a claim, the onus is on you to back it up.
And I'm terribly sorry for assuming that you understood the study that you posted to back up your claim.0 -

(Note: I'm allergic to raw fruits and raw nuts)
Please help!! And thanks in advance!!
Now, to help you.
Chicken, bacon (mmm bacon), beef, turkey, pork. I'm on a moderate carb intake (around 150g), so I'm no expert. My dairy is open though, you're welcome to look for ideas.0 -

Sorry, we should take a step back. I didn't even ask if you read the full text. Did you? You must have access to the full article given your readiness to be condescending about literature. So I assume that you did. And I forgot to clarify - how does the statement you made about the article even come close to nullifying its argument or its clinical relevance or its extrapolation to primary prevention for patients at risk for diabetes or patients who are pre-diabetic? And given the knowledge you seem to have about endocrinology, you must know the exact dividing fine line between non-diabetic and at-risk for diabetes to claim that this article is irrelevant to the general population. I made a claim. And backed it up with a journal article. In return, I got a standard forum reply. I wonder which piece of literature I will choose to make decisions for myself,my family or my patients? Journal article? Or vague debunking statement from person on internet?0 -

Oh wow, we've already established that my posting is "incorrect" and "doesn't support my stance". When exactly did that happen? I hope that isn't a reflection on how the whole forum makes decisions based on evidence presented.
"Oh.

LOL...so if I don't low carb I'm going to get diabetes...is that really what you're pedaling?
Also, that link talks about "lower carb"...not low carb...I wouldn't consider 43% or 41% of ones diet to be "low carb." I would agree that most people need to balance out their diets and most people who eat the SAD could do well to reduce carbs...but that doesn't mean they have to "low carb" which is generally 100 grams or less.
I get about 40% of my calories from carbohydrates.
Looks like I'll just narrowly escape the jaws of 'beetus.
I'm like 45% right now...guess I'm *kitten*...but those carbs sure to make a 50 mile ride better than it would be otherwise.0 -
Ok fair enough. I will get banned. That I know. MFP doesn't like the IIFYM or CICO everything in moderation boat to get rocked.
But, for the record, I still see the merit in those viewpoints because I have an open mind.
But wow, as soon as anything that remotely challenges the fact that you can't have piece of mind eating that cookie gets posted, all methods of rational unbiased discussion get thrown out the window... and the moderators will kick you out.0 -

OP, as others have said, if you aren't doing this due to a medical issue, then don't do it. Carbs don't make you fat and if you are torturing yourself doing something you don't need to do, this is just setting yourself up for failure.0
