Lots of low carb love here.

See a nutritionist. Most of the time it is free on health plans for the first visit. Just sayin.0 -

Absent of health issues, humans do process food the same way. I know you said you do have a medical condition, soy at makes things a bit different. I asked for the actual conditions because that can make a difference on advice. For example if you are diabetic, you will need a different approach than someone who has IBS triggered by certain carbs, etc.0 -

Hosimotos (thyroid) insulin resistant and prediabetes. Believe it or not, not everyone can just eat whatever as long as below your calories burn.
it's not a requirement for those.

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.
Maybe it works for hers. Not me. I know hard to believe that not everyone is built the same. Go figure.
You do what feels good for you and since I have changed the way I eat I feel 100% better. So back off.-1 -

I've literally just joined and it so sad to see some people on here being negative to others.
Like stfu and mind your own weight loss. If you don't agree then who cares? Move on, don't make stupid comments.
And yet you are here being negative to others? Like someone else said, you might want to follow your own advice. Just a thought.

I've noticed that too. And it's always by the same people you'll notice them, just block them. I came to the conclusion that this is where they get their kicks.
We have a block feature now?
used to..it was great...seems to have disappeared tho.loridebacker wrote: »loridebacker wrote: »JakeBrownVB wrote: »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 before

Perhaps if you didn't play the victim in literally every post you make, you might get more respect.
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).
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.
no its not...
The only LC'ers getting criticized are the ones claiming that CICO does not apply to Low Carb or the ones claiming LC is the only one true way.0 -

I retract my previous comment. It seems you are not looking for information and are content with what you are doing. Modern medicine is always evolving. Who knows, you might just find something that will make you feel 200% better. But you have to lower your shields first, and not tell someone who posted a possible relevant link to your condition to "back off", without even looking into the info provided.-1 -
Not a requirement for all but for some. My point. Not everyone is the same....
Thanks and yes I feel much better!:)0 -

I don't have an issue with low carb or those that choose it for reasonable reasons such as a life choice and preference or recommended by specialists/doctors but not because it's "cool" or they heard it's a fast way to lose weight......I have friends who are low carb due to preference we have no issues...at all.
I have the issue when it is said...you don't have to count calories just carbs to lose weight or they accuse people of "attacking like a pack of lions" etc...that is their view...
it is a back and forth due to the facts that low carb is not a requirement for weight loss being said frequently and them disagreeing without backing it up.
Fine eat low carb but don't spread misinformation...and don't play the victim.0 -
I wish people would stop slinging insults and just use the Flag > Report feature for posts that are clear violations of the Community Guidelines: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines and let the moderators deal with them.

You're ignoring the question - does CICO stop working if you don't count calories but still eat at a deficit?0 -

I personally had bad long term results from trying low-carb on 3 different occasions but if it suits an individual it's as good a way as others to meet calorie defecit requirements

Your question confuses me. If you are at a deficit, whether you count it or not, CI<CO. One does not need to be aware of it for it to work. But being aware makes it easier to allow it to work.0 -
< low carb.

Has anyone ever said that it doesn't? If a tree falls in the woods with no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? What's the point of your question?0 -

Like telling all low carb dieters, not to mention all vegans, some vegetarians, lactose intolerant individuals, as well as anyone with a dairy allergy that they are going to hell because they don't/can't eat ice cream? A personal attack like that, you mean? Pointing out the mental instability that must precede that sort of comment is not a personal attack, nor is pointing out that carbs (including those in her precious ice cream) do not cure mental illness.
Perhaps less rocky road and more Prozac (or Thorazine... just sayin') is in order in this particular case.
Please source this accusation so we can all read the posts where that has happened
Never mind I just saw the obvious joke that you're basing your diatribe on
:huh:
How come when she jokes about low carbers going to hell it's just a joke, but when I joke that carbs obviously don't cure psychopathy it's "abuse" or a "personal attack"? Double standard much?
It's not a joke about how low-carbers can go to hell. It's a joke about how living without ice cream is like being in hell.0 -
