Hey there Bear,
Glad you are "back". Thought you got run off or something.
First off, you should try and not let Duparc get at you so much. I don't know what he is trippin' on, but who cares! The funny thing is, from his other posts, he seems to eat a lot like you do! With raw eating thrown in for good measure! You guys must be on some contest or something. Must be a "only if you are in your 70s" thing. Who knows?
So, what about this dairy thing? I understand the macro nutrient argument, and it is pretty obvious that it works. I know from past experience that the ONLY time I could bring my body fat % down to even half way acceptable levels was when I ate as you do. AS SOON as I started eating even the smallest amounts of carbs, right back up it went, and I couldn't get it to go back down, no matter how much I tried to "restrict" them. Only if I REALLY restricted them did I have any luck keeping off the body fat.
BTW... there are actually some people on this forum who do keep their carbs down around 5%. I don't know exactly what they eat, but I have run into them a few times. They have the same philosophy that you do about it.
Please just accept the fact that it doesn't matter who believes you. I for one do, and I don't think it is that miraculous. It is just that you had an upbringing that probably didn't include a lot of sweets or something. That made it easier for you to stay away from carbs. I have had a lot more luck sticking to "induction" (which is what most people here call this very low carb level) when including butter and cheese in my diet. Believing that cheese (or any dairy) was "not paleo", and therefore had "foreign proteins" (or something?), I would always try to avoid it. You should try to eat nothing but bison and salmon and deer meat, cooked really rare, with nothing with it (or on it) - just plain meat. Talk about boring! I have used that type of eating for up to two weeks and almost lost my mind!
Anyway, hope you can forget about Duparc (or anyone else that you feel is accusing you of being a liar or whatever) and just chill. Most everybody on this forum are really super nice and are not threatened or anything by what you are saying. Believe me, these folks are more open minded than anybody you will ever find on any other forum! Sorry you "got into it" with anyone.
