I see you have "peed away a lot of pounds"

Congratulations. I nearly gasped as I read that article. Am I missing something, or was it NEARLY PRO LOW CARB? Only in Canada lol!

Great article, without a doubt the author must be a low-carber.

It was an excellent article and very fair and balanced. I would say the article was pro-carb in a fair way by presenting the evidence and letting the reader draw their own conclusion. No misinformation was provided. All in all a VERY good article and a good one to present to skeptics.

The peed away pounds was a simple description of a experiment that was conducted. The author acknowledged that all the experiment did was "knock down a straw man"
