in Introduce Yourself
An window opened and asked me why I want to join the group (low carb).
I answered why explaining my reasons and my health problems.
But I was not accepted. Why ?!
I should be approved by who ? Secret services ?
Why don't allow people to join simply and easy ?
Most of us are not coming for fun, but because we have serious problems.
DISAPPOINTED !!!

    Not joining the low carb group doesnt mean you cant do a low carb diet... ?

    I am sorry but you don't understand me. All of us can follow a carb diet without joining a group. But that's the reason such communities do exist: to share experiences, impressions etc.
    Now I hope you can understand !

    We may be misunderstanding each other. I was trying to say that it's their loss if they don't want you.

    Did you get a notice that you weren't accepted? Sometimes it takes a few days for whomever is running the group to look over what you put in. It's not an automatic process.

    Do you remember the name of that group? I think maybe all of MFP sub forums have questions like that. I will find and post a link to the group I joined 4 years ago when I was learning more about how to track ketone levels using the $10-15 alcohol breath analyzer like on eBay. They do have links of a lot of web resources. I know the group has no secret knowledge about LCHF/Keto and most are very nice and kind to new members.

    I do Keto to slow down my rate of dying from serious health problems of many years. It is working to give me back my old self so I am excited. While I did not do it for weight loss but to avoid starting on Enbrel injections for pain management I did automatically lose 50 pounds the first year and it has stayed off for the last three years never once going hungry.

    I joined a low carb group, but as previously mentioned, its mostly Keto people. I do low carb but not THAT low.

    I only belong to 2 groups...that one and one for diabetics. I get more feedback from these forums than I do the groups. Do some searches and you may find the same.
