There's aways one of these guys everywhere you go! Is either (a) Has nothing better to do with there time, or (b) Doesn't have the will, desire, or determination to stick with any "diet", much let one that really works.

I know this is a waste of our time just typing our thoughts here like this, but at least we are having a good laugh.

Cheers, John

So would that make me a foodalist? Or John, you could be an entrepreneuralist.

Karen

Guess I'm a troll trouncerist.



Doreen

More good laughs!

We are all comedi-est's !

Didn't know this was a "lighter side" thread!!!



John

Or a half-wit hounderist? A blockhead bouncerist?

OK! That's enough! I'll stop already!

Karen

LOL!!

Actually, what I'd really like is for the interviewers and the cameras and the flashing lights and cheering crowds to just let me go home so's I can flop and put my feet up.

Gotta rest up for the next one .. lemme at 'em.

Doreen

Doreen has him rolling in the ring! WoW!!!! I am impressed!

The naysayer
Enters like
Muhammed Ali.
He floats like a butterfly,
Stings like a bee.

But, he's no match
For the intrepid Doreen
Who's so very pretty
And doesn't look mean.

Before he knows it
He's on the rope
Looking quite silly
Feeling the dope.

Doreen, unruffled
Paries with zest
Iknowitall does'nt
He's thrown his best.

The crowd cheers the Champ.
She smiles at the throng.
Iknowitall bows 'cause
He knows he was wrong.

I love you guys! I wonder where Iknowitall went? Doreen, you are amazing. Rustpot, you are so funny I laughed out loud in my classroom.

hmmmmmmmmm, I wonder how many carbs are in Troll? do you suppose it will make your kidneys explode and cause you to lose 50 lbs of water?

BTW, no ones brain runs on carbs or ketones, if that were true I'd be brain dead. Your brain runs on fat. It is made up of fat.

to iknow it all,you sound just like my physical thearpist

per my foot doctor i need thearpy on my ankle so he sent me to this thearpist ,while this mr macho thearpist/trainer is working on my foot i am reading THE NEW DR. ATKINS BOOK he wants to know if i was doing atkins i said 'YES' and that i lost 20 lbs and 2 pant sizes,Well mr know it all went off he said those exact words about loosing musle and it"s only water and that i should watch what i eat-he right i am low carbing, i am watching what i eat and i feel great ,anyhow mr knowitall is upset with me because i told him he need to read the book and to talk to people who have been low carbing for years,(we had a heated conversation the other thearpists were cheering for me mr knowit all stays away from me when i am in the office)

doreen you are great i am going to print your reply and give it to MY mrknowitall

I've found that their are 2 kinds of Dr.'s when it comes to comments about this WOL...either they don't have all the facts -only believing low calorie, low fat, "starvation" diets with lots of exercise are they way to go AND/OR they've never the least bit overweight!

I actually had one doctor suggests LC to me when I was sceptical myself (because I'd been brainwashed by those other dr's!). She was a young dr (sorry guys), had ready the book and tried it herself.

My first comment is always "what's more healthy..LC or overweight?"

As a matter of fact, a pregnant woman who stays in ketosis risks brain damage to her unborn baby.

Juliek, you've given yourself only two choices - and a choice between two UNHEALTHY options at that. Neither L.C. nor being overweight is "healthier."

And people DO feel hungry on low carb/high protein diets. I certainly did.

How do you know YOU haven't been brainwashed by those who promote the Atkins philosophy? Afterall, he is MAKING MONEY off of this!

In the same logic, how do you know you have not been brainwashed by Weight Watchers? They make a lot more money than Atkins! Same goes for all low-fat starvation diets out there....

Wa'il

I don't follow Weight Watchers, so how could I be brainwashed by them?

I follow common sense. My research on this topic will continue. So far, the Atkins approach is losing when it comes to scientific soundness.

Furthermore, I find it interesting that the Creator of all things gave the Israelites carbs and protein during their 40 years in the wilderness. I'd say HE knows something about what's best for our bodies.

By the same token, you don't have to shell out money to get the information, at least the basics of the diet. They are posted on his website that you can visit for free and obtain the information that you want and even post questions for free (and get answers) if you wish to give them your e-mail address. You can also get the book for free at your local library. Yes, the local library purchased the book, but hundreds of people check out the book and read it and he only gets paid for the book once.
OTOH...if you want to follow Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig or many of the other low fat plans out there, you also have to purchase their books and pay a weekly fee to attend meetings or get checked at their weight loss centers. Who's making more money here?
Another point...brainwashing can't produce the effects that I've experienced and had verified through blood tests. I didn't wish away or imagine away 75 pounds nor did I imagine my blood sugars improving enough to maintain them at normal levels without medication. Ditto for my blood pressure and cholesterol.
