wants to try low-carb diet

I'm new at this LC stuff, but your earlier post WAS misleading. How can you
assert someone is flaming you because of your misleading response. I took
you at your word, NO CARBS. However, this appears to be quite different
from Low Carb that you and most in this NG seem to be following. The
remainder of your suggestions is consistent with other postings and seems to
be pretty good information. For that I thank you.

okay here we go .... with the flaming .... let me be more specific ....
and maybe you can try to be a little more positive ... although I know you
are one of the godess queens on the board ...

by striving for NO carbs ... I ended up, over the last year ... with about
20 carbs per day ... and yes it is difficult for me but I have been trying
to adjust my diet to incorporate more vegetables ... just yesterday I
bought celery, cucumbers, avacodos, fresh spinach, and broccoli ...

so I guess you are trying to make a point, but I think you are just being
rude.

take care,

happy low-carbing
hope you have a better day tomorrow

oh my god .... is anyone here serious about receiving valid advice from
someone who has lost 25% of their body weight using the atkins diet as
outlined in www.atkins.com ... because I chose to be in the induction state
for one year to achieve my goal and am migrating into the way of life ... I
surrender ... why ask questions if you don't want answers ... I'm outta here
....

Your advice was to not eat anything that contains carbohydrates. You
said,
"if it contains carbohydrates, don't eat it." Since all vegetables
contain
carbohydrates, you were recomending that the OP not eat any vegetables.
And, you said your way of eating was not just to lose weight, it was a
whole new way of life.

Those two points add up to your telling alexandria to not ever eat any
vegetables again for the rest of her life.

That's insane, stupid, unhealthy advice, and the fact that it is bad
advice
has nothing to do with whether I am positive or flaming you or anything.
I
thought at worst I was gently teasing you anyway.

It's interesting that you think you can maintain your plan for the rest
of
your life while eating absolutely no vegetables.

don't

www.fitday.com
for the first few months to train yourself on proper portion control.
Do
only moderate exercise until you are within 10 pounds of your goal
weight.
Always remind yourself that your goal is not to lose weight. Your goal
is
to
learn a new way of living, a new way of eating, a new way of life. I
guarentee you, all else will follow including weight loss,
dramatically
improved blood readings, lower ldl, higher hdl, lower cholesterol,
lower

new
products in the grocery store that are low-carb. I am wondering
what
tactics people have who are on this diet

Don't even bother, because you're much too stupid to figure out how it
works.

And you know this because your weightloss efforts have been so much better
than Placidbull's? Or you personally know someone that has died from
following the advice?
