I don't know why I can advocate truly healthy eating and be against fat shaming and yet this stance is not good enough for many.

Before I tried low carb, I did feel that desperate, and that decision probably saved my life, considering the health pit I'm still climbing out of, now having dropped to VLC levels with great results all around.

But I had to go that low. And that sounds "extreme" to people because the way they eat now actually is.
