[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1085925, member: 88961"] I didn't do any of these named diets or planned, but if I am totally honest, I will have had short periods, when I was modifying my diet, following that special sort of feedback on the meter, that I may have had a few days, or even the odd week on VLC; unwittingly. I think many, many newbies do. Those who arrive here, rabbit in the headlights, like most of the rest of us, looking for some insight from folks already walking the path, are given pretty straightforward guidance; Reduce Carbs. My meter helped me, quickly, to understand that made sense. If you want to bring down and elevated score, and can identify the score elevator, then it makes sense to address that (in my case, head on). I didn't immediately add fats; and to this day, I don't suggest that to new folks, because I think dealing with one food group at a time is enough, and can itself lead to a, hopefully brief) period of body and mind adjustment to the new regime. Throwing a load of double cream (delicious though it is these days) into the digestive mix could have been tricky for my syatem to handle. I'd never been a consumer of cream of any sort (in fact, I would have said I didn't care for it), and had, like so many, for eons before, concentrated on Flora and the like for spreads for breads. So, I think what I'm saying is, I think lots and lots of folks do a variation of this diet, and/or a real food variant of the Newcastle Diet, without attributing a label to it. I know my luuuurve handles vapourised pretty rapidly, and I'll never know if that would have happened if I had been topping up my fat intake from an earlier point. Every single one of us has a risk dial we set and reset hundreds of times a day; whether it be crossing the road, eating a bag of scratchings or rejecting a bap with a burger. Most of the time we don't think about it, but this condition makes us significantly more mindful, initially at least. I think the for and against debates are healthy. In fact, I think those debates are essential, so that we all make informed choices about the changes we make, and so that those undertaking the changes have a grasp of what they are doing and why. We know one size doesn't fit all, so I'm content for folks to set their own risk dials wherever they like, provided that when making major decisions they do it mindfully. Here endeth my sermon. ;) [/QUOTE]
