The discussion was great, it's when it gets personal that it's not so greatDiscussing LCHF on a low carb thread Mo, How un-natural.
Why should we have the affrontery to defend LC?
You lost me when you implied I was a troll. You see to be a troll you have to jump into someone else's conversation and start a flame war. I joined this conversation to help someone who asked for help with, what I hoped, was useful advice.
You however started talking to me so that you could nitpick at every word I said in a derogatory manner. Save your snark, or I'll just start calling you Mr Kellogg as I'll assume you work for him and are trying to stop your failing brand from dying out.
What possible reason would someone have for coming to a low carb forum for diabetics and snarking at low carb diets? WHAT POSSIBLE REASON? Let me think, what would cause a person to misinform and attack people who are unwell, or as in this case, attack people who try to help them?
Hmm? Let me think. Is it money? Do you get paid to misinform? That's the only logical reason I can come up with. Well it's that or mental instability, but you don't seem mentally unstable, so let's assume your actions are logical shall we?
If you simply hate low carb diets, then I believe there is a low fat forum just over there *points* where I'm sure your snarky comments will be much loved.
But alas, to me you are now just Mr Kellogg, with your crusty cereal lies and handlebar moustache.
And by the way, that's a traditionally published author with the big 6, just for the record.
Could we suggest that Douglas simply didn't notice that it was on the low carb forum (I often forget to check when looking at 'recent posts') and move on?
Fair enough, Mrs McDonald.
But as I've always said, I appreciate a good low carb diet, but done correctly.
I'm sure one day I will end on one.
Possibly we should agree to end the name calling now?
Final shot to you obviously.
Actually, I have to put my hand up and admit I didn't, I picked it up off the recent posts.
I would probably have said much the same though.
It's the implication gluttony is still not bad so long as it's lchf, whereas the old hands themselves will admit they don't gorge anymore, and portion control is still a part of the lchf lifestyle.
Newbies need to know lchf isn't a free pass, it's only part of the required lifestyle change, and I honestly would still have commented on any diet of any type that advocated processed burgers, kebab meat, and processed cream cakes.
No apologies for that, fresh food, not processed, whatever the diet.
What like this thread?Claire,
don't worry about it!
I've been on this forum since~ 2008 and it seems like tradition, LCHF things get discussed, non LCs get involved, fights occur.

What processed cream cakes? I said make your own. Also, I established that I wasn't an expert in meat. This could have been mentioned in your first message rather than a nasty comment about vegitarians giving advice.
Douglas-wouldn't it be better to start a new thread in the soapbox forum rather than this?
Why?
Claire has had a good success, it would be good to hear what worked for her.
Your words....
"Foods you wouldn't think were good, but...
Chocolate eclairs - ranging from 7g - 12g carbs"
And which one is true here?
"Yep, it's good to do this, but I'm a lazy sod who didn't do any. Seriously, there are snails who moved faster than I did on my diet. I still lost all my weight with no problems. Don't be a sloth like me, but you don't have to train for the Olympics either. Reasonable exercise should be fine. As my PE teacher once said in my year end report: "Claire excels at badmington because it's the sport that requires the least movement." Harsh, but true. Even so, I'm a size 12 now, which at 5'8" and being a sloth means the diet works with or without exercise. You'll be healthier with exercise of course. But one thing to remember, at 5 stone overweight, you're weightlifting all day, every day. Sometimes you have a good cardio just from walking around when you've got extra weight.
"But I quit smoking once I was confident on the diet and replaced the smoking with exercise."
To start again then,
why don't you just tell us the veggie diet that actually worked personally for you, and the exercise you actually did. That would help people.
Here is the OP - just to update 'all' on the topic choice/title , on this thread .I have just been advised to start a low carb diet to aid in my weight loss and am a looking for help and advise as don't know where to turn, I need to lose 5 stone, I have started doing more cardio to help this process. I am struggling to get an understanding of what I can eat for my meals and snacks I leave the house at 6am to go to the gym and workout for an hour before having breakfast then work in an office all day, arriving home about 6pm for my evening meal. Any information or links to information greatly appreciated someone did mention Slimming Worlds Red days as anyone tried this and had any success. Many Thanks
It was only a matter of time. Low carb discussions always end up like this. Heated, accusatory and pointless.
