Love the pic!



Hmm...you know what, though....I remember also from back in the 12 step days that people used to talk about how valuable the meetings were because one, they often learned by negative example. Harsh but true. Also, that by listening to others and by choosing what we ourselves would say, we had a chance to learn what we needed to know, when we were ready to hear it.

We never know when a seed may be planted or be about to come to fruition.

coachjeff says that he is vlc at 80 grams a day. I am not putting words in his mouth. He is also not saying where those 80 are coming from.
Whether or not its a category is not the issue, as far as I'm concered.

"we are mostly atkins" I think that the majority of those here start out with Atkins....and get stuck at Induction levels for way too long...that is my only opinion.

oops..dble post! sorry!

Yes, you are wise and correct!

Who says someone has to agree with my eating choices to give their opinion about Glycemic Load? "I think it's bunk because all carbs besides leafy green veggies are xxx". Is a fine response.

And if one doesn't like my choices...so what? I don't go to other people's threads and say "you shouldn't do induction because it didn't work for me". There is such a thing as "to each their own"

Even my slice of bread for breakfast was only 16% carb for that meal.

I think "we don't know how to help you" is a weak excuse. Plenty of folks participated in those threads besides me. The threads weren't put here so the appropriate people might see them. Clearly they were about keeping ME out of the general low carb section.

Else one would just say nothing and let those who didn't have a problem talk amongst themselves.

Lee, perhaps you would do well to actually ask the moderators why the moved your GL thread. There is an exclamation point in a triangle in the upper right hand corner that is for reporting a bad post or to ask a question, I think.

I did ask. The "we don't know how to help you" is an excuse that doesn't hold water. It's clearly the case of someone not liking what I'm saying about my own food choices.

that's funny, because the reason I said "we don't know how" is that...people ARE responding to you, but you seem to dislike a lot of what's being said.

What I dislike is having my thread moved from an active forum to an inactive forum.

That you write judgmental things to me, doesn't bother me. Lots of other folks participated just fine.

I'm sorry that you feel that way.

The non-apology, apology. Here's some food for thought...



I let this go at the time, but I did not appreciate my honesty being called into question. As my piece of bread for breakfast came to only 16% carbs for that meal, I really did have no expectations that such a choice would be controversial.



I never posted in the Atkins forum, or the SBC forum, or any specific program's forum. I posted in "general low carb". So when someone challenges my choices...how else am I to respond other than "well, I'm not following xyz, here's what I'm doing...and why".



Really? So losing weight, inches, feeling better, moving more...none of those are supposed to be benefits? It's after pointing such things out that my threads started being moved hither an yon.

"Sorry you feel that way"...I'm sorry you are MODERATING THAT WAY.
