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.
who said anything about cookies? I haven't seen cookies mentioned at all in this thread until you brought it up. People simply stated that you don't have to go low carb to lose weight or be healthy. News flash...fruit = carbs...veg = carbs...whole grains = carbs. All of these things make up the bulk of my carbohydrate intake, not endless cookies.
Am I reading this right? You think I'm singling out cookies? and not just using it as an example in my sentence? seriously?
You're right. you win. I can't compete with this.
In real life (whatever dietary path people decide to choose), talking to people about this with evidence is much much easier. I don't know if it's the veil of the internet or if I am lucky with the people I am surrounded by, but I'm going to stick to real life. Way more success in getting points across and positively helping people. Almost 100%. Much more satisfying.
That other guy on a different thread was going off about bad food, and yeah he was using language that was a bit too flowery, but not only were his points not even acknowledged or considered, but everyone just started ganging up on him. Because in a mob you will always win. Just like I have seen on this forum for months.
Many of your minds are just simple already made up and they are going to stay that way for a very long time. And the moderators seem to be working to facilitate this. Easy to see what is going on. And because of all the attitude.... it really doesn't feel like such a loss.
Go ahead MFP. Ban away. Again. No wait. Let me take care of this one.
That's too bad. I feel like I could have had some real fun with you.
S'okay. I'd bet she had at least one other account ready to go.0 -

Unless you have a medical reason OP, why are you cutting carbs?
Maybe b/c she doesn't want the medical reason in the first place
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25527677
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.
ignore the troll
Edit: well that mks MFP much nicer - until they come back.
Also lol at minnie0 -

Fish live on fish forever :-) Eggs are practically free of carbs.

OP already has dietary restrictions from legit (I assume based on her say so) allergies to fruits and nuts.
So, really, the only responsible advice is MACRO BALANCE unless other medical reasons are present. Faddy stupid macro restrictions are not an option for those with real dietary restrictions. (Ugh, I'm remembering the dude with gout and gallbladder disease who kept insisting that he needed to low carb....)0 -

What I want to know is, am I going to wake up tomorrow to see that this thread has done what the "bad foods" thread did and exploded out to 30+ pages (over 40 by the time it was closed)?
Getting in now with a cat gif...

I don't wonder this.
But I do wonder how hilarious the world would be if farts were colored clouds. No more crop dusting or blaming the dog.0 -
