LC funny

I was lectured on my "unhealthy fad diet" today.

The funny part was that the lecture came from somone who was eating an
oversized deli sandwich with chips and a soda while I was eating organic mixed
greens topped with extra virgin olive oil and no-salt added tuna & drinking
mineral water

Such an absurd worldRobyn

Curious. Did you point this information out to your lecturer?

Absurd, indeed! I hope you pointed it out to the person.

Yup, but I don't think that she really got it because she was so busy pointing
out how important "whole grains" are

It is amazing how people can be in such deep denial.

That "whole wheat bread," which probably contained no more whole grains than
Wonder bread made the her lunch healthy and mine a silly dad diet.

Sad part is that she is in the program to become a personal trainerRobyn

The one group that can NEVER be sold on the LC lifestyle, are the ones
that can eat whatever they want and stay thin. They keep lecturing low
calorie, small portions, and exercise is all you need. They don't understand
that most of US LCers simply can't do it that way.

Uh, that is EXACTLY what LCers do. We just don't have to be hungry while
doing it through the beauty of ketosis.

Not so. I used to visit my sister (now passed away) whose metabolism
was the exact opposite of mine. She would be wiping the cream off her
second Vienna Coffee with her third Mars Bar, telling me that if I
just used a little willpower I'd be as slender as she was. She was
eating roughly 3000 cals a day, got only extraneous exercise but had
SUCH a fast metabolism it burned off rapidly, leaving her frail and
gaunt if she missed a meal or snack for more than a few days.

I, on the other hand, was gaining weight on as little as 1000 cals a
day on my Evil Low Fat, High Carb diet, while exercising several times
a week. When I first switched to LC, I was losing weight on 2000 cals
a day, and (in an experiment where I literally drank oil several times
a day) can go up as high as 6000 cals a day without gaining - as long
as I keep my carb intake very low.

Mind you, I don't WANT to eat that much. I'm quite comfortable now
eating around 1500 cals a day, even though I'm not losing weight (but
that's a whole other story and has a lot to do with the meds I'm
taking). I'm still able to eat more, and not gain weight, as long as
I keep my carb intake low. For ME, and I don't necessarily claim it's
true for others, it's all about the carb levels.

And may I add that Aramanth changed the way she sleeps. Apologies for
barging in but A's experience how sleep quality can affect weight loss
is really really important IMHO and I would like to thank Aramanth
loads and loads for sharing.

My experience is that I didn't pay any attention to what I was
consuming until I started low carbing. May be your friend has never
pay much attention to the composition of the food that she's been
eating, so there you go.
