You two need your own podcast!2

Seriously.1

Bunny & Beefy? Or Beefy & Bunny?

I would listen religiously
to either.
"Welcome to the Keto B&B...."1 -

You would be a well-matched pair, I suspect! I'll bet Beefy has maps to a lot of Hare Country.0

You could call it "Hare-BnB"....1

@albertabeefy - the problem seems to be you are using logic and reason with those who want to use feelings and emotions. Didn't you know once something has been decided to be true, no amount of facts and further evidence matters? After all, nearly everyone in this group is going to die of a coronary by the age of 50 because we like bacon and actually eat it on a regular basis.
Currently, I am trying to learn Spanish, but for now I am only bilingual in English and Sarcasm.8 -
A page from my FIL's playbook.
He also likes to use the old "n=1 Trumps RCTs" device.

Sharing this with my non-believer followers on G+. Thank you.1

I know of a past coworker who is in her mid forties and presently resides in a nursing home because she would not or could not lower carbs to help her T2D and PCOS. She's sadly had several toes amputated, had quadruple bypass surgery, and is on dialysis. She still posts pictures of carb filled meals and treats she eats regularly. I do believe carb addiction is real and can eventually kill you sadly.4

Reality check. Thanks, @anglyn1.1 -

Yes! And who could argue with evidence like that?!?!1 -
You folks are funYou could call it "Hare-BnB"....
While I think a podcast would be wonderful, I doubt my employer would allow me to get that 'social', unfortunately. Not only that, but my holidays are over and I must again return to the working world <sigh> and will have less time to hang out here.
Love it.cstehansen wrote: »@albertabeefy - the problem seems to be you are using logic and reason with those who want to use feelings and emotions.

While nobody should, we know some still would. Diabetes shouldn't have to be progressive. It's an idea that needs to stop being pushed.Sunny_Bunny_ wrote: »I know of a past coworker who is in her mid forties and presently resides in a nursing home because she would not or could not lower carbs to help her T2D and PCOS.

"This seems similar to the "no evidence that nicotine is addictive" mantra of 70's, imho."
Doctors in the late 1800's and early 1900's frequently prescribed smoking for (of all things) asthma!! Check out this video from 1949, "More Doctors Smoke Camels"

A real nugget!
Many docs still pride themselves on their great nobility and sacrifice for the well-being of all mankind, all the while confidently parroting current industry mantras. "Whence cometh my bread, thereto flyeth my allegiance."2 -

This reminded me of this meme I saved.
I have no idea who Bryan is...

Just watched these videos for the first time. She really hit the nail on the head with the addictive behaviors - planning time to eat carbs; finding a place where you can be alone to engage in your addiction. It is so easy to slip back into these habits!5
