offensive? how? my point was only to show that if following their own advice the people claiming carbs are so bad are not the thin people they claim their diet will make you...I dont know how anyone can take atkins seriously when he died overweight and of heart disease. Sorry I did not know you were the resident expert on…

wasnt tryin to re-write anything...I misspoke and was trying to clarify.

some of what we Americans call Chinese food...where everything is fried and so meat centered are not so healthy but a traditional Asian diet which was mostly rice and vegetables, small amounts of lean meats sure is!!

agreed! And I too love potatoes...and eat baked potatoes regularly (with salsa no salt or dairy) and it is working reat for me..I am never hungry and losing weight is easier than eny time I tried before!

not really if made with refined white flour which breaks the chain into smaller bits...comparatively from a chemical standpoint .not nearly as complex or healthy a choice as rolled oats or brown rice. My point was that there are carb choices that are healthier than others...such as choosing beans and brown rice over…

I eat a plant based whole foods diet so it is very high in carbs, very low in fat and lower than average protein, and it is working for me. I think a lot of people also confuse simple carbs (breads, bagels, sugar, ect) with complex carbs like vegetables, grains and beans, which are also sources of protein and fiber and low…

The saleslady was quite rude and incorrect....I am by no means small on top and my stomach is indeed larger. Looking forward to the day that is no longer true

right there with ya...I am HOPING mine shrink. The backache is not worth it and I want to be able to buy pretty bras in a color other than white beige or black!

you look amazing! Thanks for sharing and inspiring and motivating!!

I eat a plant based whole food (vegan) diet with no added fat and no refined or processed grains, so my carbs are always higher and my fat minimal..I just ignore the ratios to be honest.

I use truvia in the packets. It took a bit of getting used to as it did taste a bit different than what I used to use, but I like it a lot better than equal or splenda now.

hoping this fixed your link...but not sure...you look fantastic!

She needs to end that relationship NOW. It is NEVER ok for physical aggression on part of either person in a relationship....She needs to get out now before he really hurts her.

i think mine is right now...

I do talk about my reasons for going vegan but I too swore I would never become one of the sanctimonious people who preach in a holier than thou way. Its all in the delivery. I think people are more likely to listen and consider changing their own eating habits if you talk about things in a non-judgmental way than if you…

I have met my share of preachy people on both sides of the eating spectrum. Online however I was attacked on a vegetarian/vegan forum when I said that I went vegan (after being a vegetarian for several years) both for health and animal welfare reasons. I was told I could not call myself vegan if my motives were not purely…
