    Animal puss? mmm. LOL

    I can see vegan converts being enthusiastic since veganism is almost as much a philosophy and way of life as it is a way of eating. Makes sense... Makes me curious to check out more vegan threads too. ;)

    The animal puss thing usually in the "is dairy healthy for you" threads..... almost every single time.

    Ketoers aren't being unfairly treated. If they come and spout BS about how you will lose more, easier faster and don't even need to reduce your calories or that it prevents and heals any ailment under the heavens, that's when people call them out on their wrong, unfounded crap.


    If they spout bull then so be it...he was claiming she said something she clearly didn't say

    Ah to be a teenager again...

    Right. When I was a teen, I was able to down a large pizza or 3 big mac's in a sitting. Never gained weight and had perfect health. But I also played ice hockey and soccer.

    Mine was Taco Bell. I had some epic stints there...

    It's a pros and cons thread. People can share opinions.

    I personally low carbed for 10 years. I have opinions about sustainability.

    That's fair.

    Pfft, I can down a whole large pizza*, having had normal breakfast and lunch, and still be at a deficit. You guys aren't trying hard enough :p


    *admittedly the bases on the pizza I get are really thin, and they're only ~1240 cals...

    Thin pizza is not how I roll. To me that is like cardboard with a little bit of sauce and cheese..

    Oh this is definitely not like cardboard! It's actually a sprouted seed base (wheat is one of my eczema triggers). One of the handy side effects of not being able to eat the standard base is that it's soooo much easier to fit into my cals :D And delicious. Kind of like having your pizza on a giant Meal Mate cracker (I have no idea of the US equivalent, but think sesame), without it being hard like a cracker.
