[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 264673, member: 40343"] Yes that's exactly it. The word diet / Diet is the problem. When I remember to or when I see a new member confuse that very point I try and point out exactly that. What you've actually said is my personal rule No 1. "Eat whatever you want but get control of your levels." If that same set of foods end up give you weight loss as well it's a great but secondary bonus. That's why I think many [u][b]unintentionally[/b][/u] misunderstand my message. My message is [u][b]levels[/b][/u] not food or carbs or GI. I simply believe whatever you eat then you should end up under 8 ish two hours later as that way you are minimizing the chances of complications on yourself and to be even stronger minimizing the risk of imposing any complications you get on your family, friends or the overworked health system. So in many ways my message is "take responsibility" for your actions and empower yourself. What I do accept is that without being provided with a good tool set or information no one has a hope (or historically had a hope) of taking responsibility and that everyone is going to have a lapse now and then and go on a binge or whatever as we are all human but my basic message remains the same. My tool set I offer new members who want to try and sort things out is to recommend as a starting point a list of foods based on the Swedish system (note the new word system). What I can't particularly control and why I get angry is I have little control over the information aspect as others (for want of better words "the establishment") primarily currently dictate what that information message is. I would guess you and me both would agree those people are wrong and want to change that message. [/QUOTE]
