No, what we mean is that spending your whole life in ketosis is wrong.

Whew. Since there is not one low carb plan in existance that does this,
your point is irrelevant. Lictor, you do fine when you discuss issues
other than low carb. You need to either read at least one low carb
book so you actually know something about the topic, or stick to the
several topics that you *do* know about. But please drop these false
statements about low carb you've been making. It distracts from your
posts that do have value.

I don't see what's being wrong with eating white flour or refined sugar from
time to time. There is no reason to cut these either.

You're not wheat intolerant (or you are without knowing it). You're
not hypoglycemic with reactive insulin reactions. Many people *do*
have those problems and they *should* avoid foods. Also note that
no harm is ever done by avoiding those foods.

Avoiding white flour and/or refined sugar is mandatory for some,
beneficial to many, and harmfull to none.

Besides, the problem with low carbing is that it's like religions : people
see their own way as THE way.

Nope. We get plenty of antis telling us we're wrong, though.
Funny how the antis always end up making ridiculously false
statements to arrive at their conclusions, though.

You have low carbers who think re-carbing is part of a low
carb diet. You have others, like you,
who think that low carbing is in fact slow carbing.

And your point is? Other than not knowing enough about low carb
to be able to tell what is on topic and what is not ...

Carb ups and glycemic index are indeed parts of several well
known low carb plans and they are available to all based on the
science that low carbing is based upon.

Eh, if I look at what I eat daily and if I remove all the slow carbs, most
of my days are pretty low on fast carbs (high glycemic index), probably
under 10-20g. On the other days, I can still pretend I'm re-carding. Anyway,
even on these days, glycemic index remains reasonnably low. Can I pretend to
be a low carber as well?

Not until you actually learn about it for real.
