TBH I was putting the first thing I found on the subject purely to try and get the point across that the human body has been around for a lot longer time than we have been consistently eating carbs. its definitely not the best source for this debate but I am at work and don't have the time to find the research that I found…

I have no intention of maintaining this ultra low carb lifestyle forever, not because I don't thrive on it, but because socially it is too restrictive. What I do plan to do is ever so slowly reintroduce carbs after I hit my goal weight, from then I will slowly get to a place I am comfortable. What I will never do is go…

your final bit made me smile so I just wanted to say thanks for the chuckle! arguments can be made that hundreds of thousands of years is a drop in the ocean for human evolution...

Read back, I have said what industry and my reason why I disagree with the pushing of "whole grains are brilliant", not necessarily because they aren't but because that is done at the expense of demonizing fats which is just a ridiculous notion.

But thats the point, I dont demonize carbs, for a lot of people eating carbs is completely fine, however FOR ME eating low carbs works. the simple fact is one size does not fit all in dieting circles

I am starting to remember why I avoided these forums, its very much a case of "fit the the norm or gtfo"

Correct, grains most definitely are NOT the cause of obesity, there are many people across the world who eat high-carb diets with no obesity epidemics. HOWEVER that does not mean that fats should be demonized in favour of grains as they currently are in western culture (the only culture I have experience of) Grains are a…

my god your arrogant... you obviously have no desire to have a sensible conversation on this, because I am obviously crazy. Well that's fine, continue dieting as you will and I will continue as I will. See no arrogance on my part, just the simple fact one size diet does not fit all

you need to find something in your live that satiates you as a replacement for sugar, though what I would say is that slipping back on your calorie limit once or twice a week isnt the way to get to where you need to be. PATIENCE, the weight will come off if you give it a chance you just need to focus on being strict with…

You will notice that I never actually said you represent an industry, what I said was that is the typical industry drivel. We are force fed that "whole grains are best yay" nonsense and the simple facts are we can't know for certain. Go back and look at your articles with a critical eye, look at sample sizes/control groups…

I did extensive research on the entire Keto process before I took the plunge, taking risks with my health wasn't of interest to me. Know what I found? That there are a myriad of studies and literature both for and against low carb options, I bet if we spent the time we could both come up with 50+ different articles etc.…

Nonsense, typical industry drivel. No one way of dieting works for everyone. I am on an ultra-low carb diet and feel better and more energetic and thinner and developing more muscles because of it.

Keto for bodyshaping is a more difficult process and requires much more focus. I would say that if you binge heavy on weekends then you are not on Keto at all, as Keto is a lifestyle choice and not something you can achieve monday-friday. The reason you are gaining weight is because you are not getting into ketosis…

That is a ridiculous, and frankly DISGUSTING equivalency and you should be ashmed of yourself for referencing drug addicts to carb-lite people. I am perfectly content on my ultra-low carb diet and have suffered no side effects bar the initial period of adaptation. As it happens I have more energy and vibrancy in my life…

you do realise that only doing ti for a week you gave your body no time to adjust? Your not going to get over the initial carb defecit in a week

You are getting a lot of terrible advice right here, all this "low carb is the devil" bull**** pisses me off. As someone who obsesses about information I have read up enough on this to know that most thoughts either for or against low carb are opinions, and as we know opinions are like *kitten* in more way than one I have…

@anahitacandol no way you is40

everyones different... I log every time I weigh (not on here, I have a personal spreadsheet) I weigh every morning at work at about 8.30. I have recently started running before work though, does that mean I should change when I weigh myself? no, not if I plan to continue running on a regular basis Do what works for you, if…

just make sure that when you weigh in is exactly the same situation. When I had scales at home I used to wake up then stroll to the bathroom in the nude and take a measurement everyday. As I only have scales at work now I make sure I am in work for 8.30 every morning and take a measurement in the same kind of clothes each…
