    just don't answer them...like if they say "I'm going to do HCG" and you don't like that, shut the thread and move on...if they say "I'm going to eat high carb/ low carb" "I'm gonna cut off a limb" ...whatever if you don't agree or have something supportive to say just shut your PIEHOLE!

    In some ways I agree, but in others I don't. If someone posted they were going to hang themselves tonight, wouldn't you want a few "don't do it's" or more "hey me too!!!'s" ?

    I think this is a support site yet also guidance. If someone is doing something that I think would hurt them, my morals would want me to at least try to warn them - not badger them - but give my opinion.

    I don't think using a term like "PIEHOLE" is a good idea for dieting and health conscious individuals, perhaps something like "WHOLEGRAINHOLE" would be more supportive...


    LOL...

    but yea, I would have to agree with the people who said "welcome to the internet"... unfortunately, there is no way you will stop people from giving their opinions, in whichever way they do... learn to live with it....

    And pine cone bird feeders.

    the peanut-butter pine cone ones?

    Duh.

    Hey, is a pie hole like a goal hole? I just want to keep my holes straight.

    I could take this reply so off topic that the thread would be locked, and I would have my third warning.

    so instead, im going to talk about whatever is on my desk.

    my phone.
    my keyboard.
    a usb drink warmer/cooler
    ......

    I love lamp.

    I don't usually bash people for what they post...but if they ask for opinions on something that is ridiculous and unhealthy to do then by all means I am going to add a comment. Not to be a jerk, but to hopefully protect them from doing something stupid.

    In the case of HCG/VLCDs or cutting off a limb, I'm pretty sure most responders are trying to be helpful by offering information on risks and actual efficacy. In the case of low/high carb or other dietary preferences, whatever, different things help different people get through the day.

    The scientific support is the same for HCG, VLCDs, as for high carb/low carb, so I fail to see why we would distinguish. I think we all agree on cutting off a limb thing...

    but we're human, we can't always agree or be supportive of everything, that's what these forums are for, for all kinds of opinions, if we all agreed with the post, how boring would life be?? lol
  • i understand what your talking about.. i dont believe any one should attack you on a personal level due to a diet choice.. i know most people who have struggled with weight have all tried something "stupid" in a drastic moment. i think that if i read something and im concerned for your health in trying it then i will say so.. no need to call you dumb or anything like that but i may say hey i dont think thats a good idea cause ive tried it or ive read ""enter supporting document"" and it says its not healthy.

    Mfp is suppose to be a place to help one another out.. god knows if your over weight you have been talked down to enough.. i understand the people saying that its a public question on public forum but snide hurtfull remarks only make you look like a child not an intelligent adult to except advice from.

    we are suppose to take care of one another here.. it should NOT be like a repeat of highschool where people gang up on you cause you ask advice.. even if they dont agree with it.

    JUST TRY TO SAY THINGS THE SAME WAY YOU WOULD TELL YOUR GRANDMOTHER, THAT WAY YOU ARE BEING KIND BUT STILL INFORMATIVE.


    I think I love you!!!! You so totally got what I was saying!!!


    awe! yay! i understand your frustration! just let it roll off your back hun! there are plenty of supportive people out there that are willing to help you with good information and some personal experience! just ignore the other comments.. they are not needed in your world!

    That may be true as I don't know nearly as much about these subjects as a lot of other commenters, however I personally have never seen reports of people losing their hair or aquiring hormonal imbalances from doing a low-carb diet. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just means I have noticed quite a few reports of those problems with HCG/VLCD (quite a few here on MFP) but haven't noticed it with people doing various food-group eliminations. So I tend to see HCG/VLCD as having possible risks to a person's health that other more 'mainstream' diets do not. Just my personal perspective, I do not claim to be an expert at all.

    But what if my grandmother is fat and stupid?

    Just joking. My grandmothers are all dead.

    not sure where your from but in my family if you call your grandmother fat and stupid she would take a switch and beat your behind with it.. i was raised in the south with a family that believed that your grandparents got the highest respect or else..
    may not work the same with everyone but you understand the concept :happy:

    VLCD diets, if done improperly leads to sudden death after a prolonged period of time because the heart lacks the right nutrients. First signs and maybe the last signs of life will be an irregular heart beat or heart palpitations. This happens in both obese individuals and normal looking individuals. You don't have to look like an anorexic to have an abnormal heartbeat when you starve your heart. A majority of the time, doctors will misdiagnosed heart palpitation caused by improper nutrients for years because most doctors are only experienced in obesity related symptoms when dealing with anything having to do with the heart.

    I often do just what the OP suggests. However, not always. Why are people so afraid of healthy debate? It is possible to debate issues without resorting to nasty personal attacks on the poster. When something really strikes me I will often share my disagreement. Sometimes with humor, sometimes with sarcasm, sometimes gently. Often, I get angry responses and I have had people then call me ugly (I now don't have a personal picture), read my bio and make fun of me for it (I no longer have a bio) and continue to attack me personally. I think it shows a lack of intelligence. Quote me all you want and disagree vehemently with the content of my ideas if you wish. It makes for interesting dialogue. However, getting irate indicates you have personal issues and character assasination is not only unproductive but also mean.

    I also get amused by the scads of people who tell me I am angry because I have posted that I disagree with something. No matter how often you tell me I am angry and miserable (and all the silly things I have had said) doesn't make it true.

    I agree to a certain extent but if you say HGH is stupid or dumb or some other diet...how would you know unless you have gone on that diet and seen that it has not worked.

    When I give suggestions is when I have done it and it worked or didn't work.

    This is exactly why I snort meth every day, drink and drive, and eat raw chicken. So I can earn the experience to tell people they are stupid things to do. And I'm starting HCG tomorrow since this is the last day of my juice cleanse detox belly fat blaster Dr. Oz groundbreaking weightloss system. Who's with me?! :noway:

    Even though you didn't ask, here's my opinion: I don't like your profile pic. I don't know why. Don't ask. You can't just do meth, thats for losers. Real men do meth and coke at the same time. Dr. Oz is an idiot. You're wrong. Not about any one thing, just in general. Losing weight is for losers. (Like that?) I've never tried or done any of this, but I know a guy who's brother has a friend that knew a homeless guy who did all of these things. Therefore, by the 'transitive property of some *kitten* that I made up' it won't work for you. I hope this helps. I'm above your response to me anyway.


    Sarcastic enough? :drinker:
