Can you imagine the outrage about a "All I ate for weeks was cookies and still lost weight thread"? I say we go for it.8

I stay out of the keto threads for exactly the same reason. Every time some overeager low carber wants to cure my depression for me my blood pressure shoots up. At least ACV won't leave me on the toilet, pooping for days like a high fat diet does.11 -

I'm not sure it's even necessary. People already think that's what we're promoting around here.18 -

That is such a valid point. Some of the things I've read in the past couple weeks. Sheesh.0 -

Why is there no cookie diet fad?
My mom did one awhile back. One of those where you eat 'their' nutrient-dense, edible-but-not-hyper-palatable cookies for two meals, plus a "sensible" dinner and lose weight because deficit... but gain back because once you hit goal and go back to eating normally... well, results are what you expect from diets of that ilk.
WebMD has some details on what I mean. I'm not sure which version my mom did, but it sort of surprised me because I'd never thought she'd go for that kind of fad. http://www.webmd.com/diet/a-z/cookie-diet3 -

This would be my cookie-weapon of choice: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/07/02/garden/the-250-cookie-recipe-exposed.html
They are SO freakin' good. I have some tricks up my sleeve to make it even more nutrition-dense and delicious.2 -

If you look carefully at the ingredient list it goes "Goodness, crack cocaine, nicotine, sugar, yellow dye #5" so deprioritze accordingly.5 -
Have no interest in keto so I stay out of those. I DO check out the ACV threads because they generally end up with a few recipes for things like pulled pork and salad dressing using it.7

Like there's no middle ground. It's so weird.0 -
Isn't it true for those of us older folks, we all did LC growing up. Not that it was called LC,
I can remember while loving sweets, still only occasionally getting something sweet, sweets were a rare treat. We, just as a normal part of life, ate one serving during meals. . . . .yes, the holidays were more like many ppl eat everyday today.
Does anyone else recall that being called greedy or a glutton wasn't bad manners and PC didn't exist?
I know younger ppl here have been told this and may not want to read it again but in many of our entire schools for k-8 there was perhaps, one obese boy or girl and in high school..perhaps 2 or 3....total.
Is it any wonder that ppl are going for ACV or Keto--vegetables & meat, what's so bad about that with them drizzled in delicious olive oil?0 -

Reminds me of the thread about eating all those poptart varieties...that was pretty awesome as well!0 -
I noticed no threads about how severe calorie deficits squelch libido.2

Moderate carb intake is different than the Keto fad, yes? For example, I am trying to keep my macros at 25% carbs, 40% fat and 35% protein.0

Keto is a lot higher fat than that.
If I tried to eat keto it would last one day. I'd never be able to leave the bathroom after that.0 -
Isn't it true for those of us older folks, we all did LC growing up. Not that it was called LC,
I'm pretty old (47), and I did not low carb, and my parents and grandparents certainly did not. (I hated bread and cereal as a kid -- I was an annoying child -- and the older folks all thought that was weird.)I can remember while loving sweets, still only occasionally getting something sweet, sweets were a rare treat. We, just as a normal part of life, ate one serving during meals. . . . .yes, the holidays were more like many ppl eat everyday today.
We ate the kind of dinner I do (often) now: meat/fish, starch (often potato), and vegetables. Servings weren't crazy, but I don't think everyone eats crazy servings now, when eating at home. Lunches (for people other than me) were often sandwiches. Breakfast was often oatmeal (plain for us, but the flavored kind existed and it was common to put fruit in it) or, for the kids (other than me) and also for my parents and grandfather, cold cereal was common. For the older people not with lots of sugar (but that did not make it low carb by any stretch of the imagination), but they also did add fruit. My mom baked cookies not all that uncommonly, and so did my grandmother. On weekends we'd sometimes have bacon and eggs for breakfast, but also my dad would sometimes do pancakes or waffles or french toast (he only really grilled and cooked carby breakfast things, otherwise the women/girls did the cooking).
Holiday meals were quite a bit different from regular meals, but so are holiday meals today.Does anyone else recall that being called greedy or a glutton wasn't bad manners and PC didn't exist?
PC didn't exist as a thing that people said, but politeness was still a huge thing to my parents and I would have been punished if I'd called someone greedy or a glutton.
Also, overeating and low carb aren't the same thing.I know younger ppl here have been told this and may not want to read it again but in many of our entire schools for k-8 there was perhaps, one obese boy or girl and in high school..perhaps 2 or 3....total.
Yeah, same here, but not because we didn't eat carbs.
My maternal [edited because a letter can be important] grandfather, who grew up on a farm and was a farmer for much of his life (born in 1919), ate more bread and potatoes than anyone I've known. He loved fruit and veg too, and had a huge sweet tooth (he claimed he got it from his Swedish mother), and used to drink sugary tea. (I was a weird kid and hated sweetened beverages even back then.)6 -

This is a common contention in the Keto arena, and one that I frankly find preposterous. I am in nutritional ketosis when running RFL, and my fat intake is near zero, other than fish oil caps. All the while I am hitting 250-300g of protein per day, mostly from chicken breast, which is able to cause a relatively high insulin response all on it's own. The "zomg protonz is too high, needs 80% fat" zealots make me want to throw a 45 at their emaciated *kitten*.4
