    *sigh* and right below it is this "new-to-atkins-diet" thread which totally shows why low-carb people need a better place.

    The thread goat posted seems almost canned, it's like reading a textbook. And you're brave OP, very brave.

    Let them take their best shot, I can take it :) I spent about 4 years in the main forums defending myself and those like me before I retired to the peace that is The Low Carber Daily Forum.

    I messaged the op from the Atkins thread. She said she's going to stick with low carb as she feels best while doing it. I sent her the link to our group...don't know if she joined yet.

    Whoa, I posted here then went and actually looked at your post. That's awesome!!! Do they actually delete posts like that? If so, what kind of rule is it violating?

    I love how people in the main boards area say all you'll lose is water weight eating low carb. SMH. Yes, because I went from a size 18 to 12 and clearly that's ALL water.

    Nah I don't think they delete it, but since they introduced that stupid flag function the angry carbers will flag anything they don't agree with. I've received about 40 flags so far just from commenting on posts with my opinion. Nothing rude or nasty, just a comment.

    Geez that's ridiculous. Just looking at the "eat bacon, jog less" thread it's so awesome that conversation are more grown up here. It's okay to not agree.

    People fail with low carb when they get to their goal weight and go back to eating the way they were before. This is true of almost any "diet". If you're going to change the way you eat, it has to be a permanent solution and become a lifestyle. Incorporate exercise and you're gold :smiley:

    Personally I love low carb. My energy is way more even, I smell and taste things better. Love it.

    That's hilarious. Not a single negative comment on that "now I'm hot again" post... Mostly because they can't argue those pics I guess...
