+1 for bacon...0

I saw a cool Tshirt online with a sugar skull and "Sugar Kills". Just a thought.0

No bacon is my vote - processed meats are strongly linked to cancer.0

@AngInCanada Those are really pretty eggs!!0

Those are very pretty eggs.
I am thinking the whole discussion about changing the banner originally stemmed from the fact that it features just meat, so I don't think changing it to bacon would make any difference.
I think we have it down to 2 options at this point really.
1.) have it feature a variety of staple foods commonly eaten by the majority of us either as a food pyramid of sorts or just displayed as to suggest what's most important.
2.) have it feature the "NO" foods simplifying this WOE by representing what's not eaten, meaning everything else is an option. Basically.
Either one will certainly not be a complete list.
Or there was also the idea to create a logo...0 -

What about a pro's and con's? Pro items on the left, like those gorgeous eggs, etc., and no-no's on the right? Give a better "all encompassing type idea...
And could work up a cheesy statement, from "Paleo to Keto, Atkins to LCHFMP, Vegan to Carnivore, across the 'Grand Canyon' of Low Carb plans, we cover them all..." Yeah, my pairings are pathetic, but it's early, and you get this gist...put the statement in the middle, because on the app, only the middle part shows up, right?0 -
I think the issue with not using food is that there is no certain lifestyle associated with low carb/ketogenic diet. It's easy with the Paleo lifestyle because Grok lifted heavy things, moved slowly lots throughout the day and hunted/gathered lots so with Paleo it's easy to get a one size fits all picture because it's a lifestyle. But with LC/Keto some exercise heavily, some exercise lightly, some don't exercise at all. Some believe cardio is the way it is. Some believe heavy lifting is where it's at. Some believe a little bit of each is ideal. Theres no one size fits all and that makes it hard. So if the banner is not food, what could we use that meets in the middle of everyone here?0

I think there isn't going to be any one thing people can agree on without somebody saying "I don't eat that" or "I don't do that" so therefore it isn't a representation of all of us or a representation of the group. Therefore it doesn't really matter, since it won't represent everyone no matter what you choose. So keep the steak, or change it, you can't please everyone. I don't come here to see the banner pic and neither should anybody else.

Btw: I was on my son's laptop earlier and see the same picture that I see while on the tablet. I figured the tablet cut it off, but believe I am wrong (at least where Kindle is concerned). So, I don't know why I never saw that darned cat, lol! I'm still Switzerland here! (I hope I don't offend any from Switzerland, just a saying!). Meaning, I don't care either way!

This is true for me too. I don't really care, and wish other people didn't either. We could just put the group name up there in a nice font, color scheme, etc. (Let the graphic design types among us decide what those would be) and that would be as close as we got to all encompassing since we are all members.0 -

Well, I agree with that 100%.0 -
I know most people don't care and don't mind the current photo. I just don't want anyone to feel specifically excluded.0

I like the bread idea, but can we add potatoes, and maybe a pastry, Because its more than just bread!0

I drew this a while back, trying to come up with a "jolly roger" for keto... might be worth returning to explore it...

Cool! Put a pirate hat on the avocado.... Ha!0
-
Make it a full pirate avocado even better with a smug looking cowboy steak in the background lasso-ing a stick of butter
Wut.0 -
Oo oo, ok also way way in the background have Michael Jordan tongue out free thow line dunking on a bundle of pasta and bread
YES.0 -
Everyone in favor of MJ dunking on carbs say ay.
Carbs are OWNED.
Ay!0 -
Sorry I'm being really slow to follow up with this idea. I really wanted to try to find a "universal" and generic enough representation that was also fun and made sense. I'm an over thinker. My ADD brain toiled ideas around and around and I couldn't pin one down at first, but I have created these 2 graphics that I'm working on incorporating into a banner together with the forum name too.
What do you guys think of these?
Also, just because I did this doesn't mean I expect the final image to be used. I won't have my feelings hurt if it's not a hit. I promise.
The idea behind the puzzle is that low carb and high fat go together. I originally had a funny idea of how they are best friends and saw it as one of those BFF hearts that is 2 pieces but figured they would just look like they were actually broken hearted. lol0 -
That's so cute I love the puzzle piece
0 -
I like the puzzle pieces too!0
-
I like the no starch/sugar banner. It's spot on. IMO the puzzle is also a great idea as I see it as a PART of the greater picture in leading a healthy lifestyle; not just weight loss. Great job!0
-
Love both images separately but will they go together? Since the banner is horizontal what about having the no-starch and a similar one go for a few staples. Kind of not-this, this-instead? And the puzzle in the middle? or is it too confusing? You'll make it great I'm sure @Sunny_Bunny_ !0

@Sunny_Bunny_ It's changed but there is a little black space on either end. Take a lookie.0
