    The whole community in an uproar because I said quit carbs in caps. My post was meant to show that other options exist and they do work. Every dietary plan I have ever been given has included carbs as the main source of nutrition. I'm so regretful that I actually paid for that.
    I have struggled with my health and weight most of my life.
    This is something that I don't consider to be a diet but a healthy life change. And it's working. Even thin people can be unhealthy.
    Yep, I feel lied to.
    Issues that I have been addressing with my doctors for years are no longer issues.
    My joints aren't swollen and painful, no more RLS, my fatty liver is no longer fatty, no more hypertension, my A1C is back to normal, my skin feels better, sleeping way better and sooooo much more energy. And the bonus is losing weight. And.... yes, improved mental clarity.
    The food industry has zero incentive other than to keep you coming back for your next carb rush. Your health means nothing to them. If you're addicted, chances are so are your children and so on.
    I felt so strongly to make that first post because for the first time, I found something that works for me, I see it working for others, and it makes sense.
    Dr. Berry is very knowledgeable and has had his own personal experiences. Dr.Ekberg is another amazing resource.
    I think it's important that we advocate for ourselves. Do the research. Find a doctor that listens to you.
    Hope you all stay happy & healthy

    Doing research means you look at PEER REVIEWED evidence and not just read what you want to hear. Anybody who advocates their diet will usually CHERRY pick information that supports their stance. It's why you should look at peer reviewed evidence to then get opposing evidence and make a concise decision.

    Yep. Everyone can have a tendency to do this. If I believe a certain thing about nutrition, I will be more apt to pay attention to anything that agrees with my view that I already have. That being said, someone can be biased and right, so that's why, even if you think someone is biased, it's important to look at the totality of evidence and ascertain which holds more scientific merit.

    Welcome to MFP, where the same folks who flog a dead horse til it begs for mercy are the same folks who will bend over backwards and spend an hour writing a well thought and caring post to help someone out of a diet, exercise or mental rut.

    Please stick around!

    I’ll never forget a thread I started early on. Cheeks still pink and ears still ringing lol.

    Hope to see you around. 😘

    Yes, I caught a lot of flak from one of my first posts and almost quit. Glad I didn't. That was 11 years ago.

    Read ...Lies my doctor told me, by Dr. KEN BERRY
    It will change your life and your relation with food. It is not a diet so much as a way of life.
    The benefits my husband and I have gained already are amazing. Overall better health, losing weight, increased energy, improved labs, fewer medications, decreased inflammation and pain, improved mental clarity.
    The list goes on..... what did we do??
    QUIT EATING THE CARBS!

    I'm happy for you and your husband.

    I live in Italy and we eat a lot of carbs here---pasta, pizza, breads, pasteries, etc. The population is not obese and most are at a normal weight for their height. Carbs are not the devil. Overeating is.

    Thankyou so much for saying that. People are so quick to blame carbs. Yet they won't blame the excessive food, fast food, too many snacks, all the soda, lack of exercise. When I was Italy for 3 months, we ate carbs, we were very active,I lost 10 kilos.

    I always want them to check back in six months, or better yet - two years. How long did you stay with it? Is your weight where you want it and steady at a healthy number? Most of the low carb converts are newly minted. This OP even goes so far as to say all carbs. Not sure how that is going to work long term.

    Being converted to a low carb evangelist for a couple months to lose some pounds is one thing. Actually eating that way forever is really challenging - and I agree, not necessary.

    or even 9 months later - since the thread has been bumped up now, 9 months afterwards.

    Did you continue with this OP?

    Did you modify it to suit your personal way of life?

    Did it acheive the results you were expecting?

    always good to have follow ups.

    I just spent 2 months in Japan and can attest that the places serving sweet rolls and McDonalds had lines around the block at lunch. I was also expecting a much slimmer population. They are not "overweight" but not the 20 bmi the overall population was before. It was particularly noticeable in the under 25, while the elderly were still slim. So I agree, from personal observation, that it is changing in Japan at least.

    Yep serving junk will tend to catch up, even on a population basis.

    Every body is different, we are all unique. Carnivore works for my body. It helps me keep my crohns in check. I listen to Dr. Berry all the time. Find what works for you! Good luck!
