I'm curious. What "health reasons" would require someone to have to go low carb. I've never heard of an illness that required that before0

If you have general low carb questions, you can ask on the boards, but for more specific answers, that group that was linked I hear is quite active and helpful (not being a low-carbber myself I can't personally vouch for it).-2 -

There is that group yes but be forewarned there are lots there who do not believe you need to count calories to lose weight...just carbs.
If you are on a low carb diet for health reasons good luck and perhaps check into getting an appointment with a dietician (registered) to get more education on the topic.0 -
May I ask what health issue you have (feel free to tell me no). It's just "health issues" can be so vague, so it hard to give specific advice.
Just be aware, if you want to lose weight, regardless of low carbs, you need to be in a calorie deficit.0 -

Hosimotos (thyroid) insulin resistant and prediabetes. Believe it or not, not everyone can just eat whatever as long as below your calories burn.0 -

Does CICO no longer work if I don't actually count the calories going into my body?0 -

Actually, the group was open from it's beginning in 2011until yesterday. Olivia and the site admins made it private yesterday while they are looking into all the rumors flying around. We have no control over that until they are finished what they are doing. If you have a problem with this, Olivia would be the one to talk to about it. She has made it clear that discussing objections to a group and its activities is not an appropriate conversation for the forum.
Wan't objecting to a group.Making a suggestion that, with regard to any topic, learning is often best accomplished when all sides are free to discuss and provide information. The group in question currently does not, so, until that is resolved, I think the OP would do well to seek alternatives. The only suggestions given to the OP are a private MFP group, and a closed Facebook group.
Can't disagree with the bolded statement.
I don't think humans are quite there yet for certain topics, unfortunately.

Perhaps if you didn't play the victim in literally every post you make, you might get more respect.

Um, where have i played the victim exactly? I answer questions and warn those who eat the same way that there will be criticism because THERE ALWAYS IS. That's NOT playing a victim.
you said "unfortunately, we don't get much love here" = playing the victim card.
and if the sentiment in the LC group about the main forums is any indicator, it sounds we don't get much love over there either...
I'm stating a fact. Low carb is under constant criticism on the main forums. And none of that, nor any of you, are mentioned in the group.
I usually see debate and questioning around the REASONS for doing low-carb.0 -

Agreed. Though if lurkers gain a new knowledge or lightbulb moment by watching the chaos, than the chaos provided a benefit. Sometimes an argument need not be settled between two parties for a third party to learn something. I learned a lot about how to interpret supporting facts by watching how those facts are debated here. So, while often repetitive, I say let the disputes continue.0 -

Hypoglycemia
Hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome
Diabetes
Shall I go on?
ETA: These conditions do not REQUIRE low carb but help significantly.0 -

My brother is a diabetic and his specialist never once recommended low carb for him...ever ever.
My sister in law has thyroid issues...never once was she told by her specialist to go low carb.0 -

You stepped into the middle of a shitstorm that has nothing to do with you, and had no way of knowing was going on. Some people seem to think they're at war, because interent forums are serious business. It'll blow over eventually. Meanwhile, use the group linked at the top. You can get more info in these, too, though you may not want to go full keto unless it helps you:

The general guidelines are the same, just different ratios of carbs. You can still use all the recipes, too.0
