You can talk once you've followed your plan and have acheived success for a
decade or so. If you think your plan is some guarantee of long-term
success, you're more of an idiot than I imagined.

I'm in my 8th year below my goal weight of 160. I have no doubt I will
make the decade below that number. Whether I can build 5 pounds of
muscle in those same two years to reach the goal weight is questionable
at the rate I’m going.

I'm in the mood for responding to a troll--just in that argumentative
kind of mood.

Having a non-popular opinion doesn't make him a 'troll'.

No, but suddenly inserting himself into a newsgroup for NO other purpose than to
stir up trouble DOES. He's not ASKING about low-carb dieting, nor is he sharing
his low-carb experiences, triumphs or failures -- he's merely slamming it and
pontificating about his OWN way of eating. He's a more subtle troll than usual,
but he's STILL a troll. It's like someone who only drives Volkswagons barging
into a Toyota newsgroup and listing all the reasons why HE thinks Toyotas are
crap and why everyone ELSE should toss them away and buy Volkswagons. He has no
interest in the compelling reasons why other posters are happy with Toyotas and
just keeps pushing his own Volkwagon agenda, despite the fact that the sole
purpose of the newsgroup is to discuss Toyotas.

Yep, overeating combined with eating high carb foods, it will make you fat.

Though, I know thin people, who can overeat, eat whatever they want to. Not
gain a freaking pound.

But then, how healthy are their insides?

Hey, I'm under no obligation to educate every moron who thinks he/she/it has
figured out why what he/she/it is currently doing works and why what others
are doing doesn't. If you want to spend your time doing it, fine. Turn
your computer on and attempt to educate a moron who already knows
everything.

BTW, I enjoy hurling insults....

You do?
