Getting this off my chest
I swear to God, I think people have gone nuts. Everyday, there is a show on
TV or radio about how America has become too fat. I do demos in grocery stores in and around Austin, Tx and all people do is eat. Yet, the low carb method is working for millions of people. I've lost 40 lbs, lowered my cholesterol and feel good. I see fantastic weight loss reported on this NG everyday. Yet I keep getting comments like these: "You've lost weight, sure, but what is it doing to you?" "Atkins is very unhealthy." (guess I need more cookies, cakes and ice cream, huh?) "South Beach is healthier than Atkins." "I thought you were smarter than that." "You'll ruin your health." "Don't lose any more." And on and on and on. What is it, jealousy? What ever happened to support and encouragement. I'm a 65 year old woman with a genius IQ, since when am I not allowed to make my own decisions? The comments I get from people some times are not in the spirit of trying to help, they are just nasty comments intended to put me down. I've gotten to the point that I don't hardly mention my weight loss or eating choices any more. Screw 'em. |

They don't "understand", therefore you are somehow bad. They don't have the correct information, therefore Atkins or Other is "Unhealthy because you eat all that fat, and if you don't have carbohydrates, your mind stops working" so you are doomed.
