    Low carbing is going out. People are realizing you can't live on
    meat and
    eggs and lettuce. I don't care how srumptious you make a recipe,
    sooner or
    later you're going to get tired of it and go back to eating carbs.
    Face it.
    Man wasn't meant to eat meat. Ever eat a dead dog or a puppy? Same
    thing
    as eating a cow. I'll bet if ANY of you had to actually go out and
    get your
    own meat YOURSELF you'd become a vegetarian real quick! lol.

    If you've decided to quit low carbing you needn't play drama queen.
    Let me guess the plot:
    You post an attack post.
    The group members counter-attack your attack post.
    You post something along the lines of, "Low carb must make people
    mean! I'm out of here!" and then leave in a self-righteous huff.

    It's been done. Nobody has a gun to your head John. Just go do
    something different for crying out loud.

    Not around here. I know a lot of people who hunt, kill, and gut their
    own food. I've got some bambi in my freezer that my sister in law and
    I guttet one winter night (we have a picture of her with deer blood up
    to her armpits 🙂. Yummy!

  6. funny, i have been low carbing for over five years and haven't tired
    of it yet................i also LOVE the effect it has on my
    depression and arthritis!

  10. LC can have quite a variety to the foods.

    When I google your email address, I only see recent posts. One of them was
    giving advice someone trying to avoid child support.

    Are you a vegan? Checked your B12 lately?

    Supposedly, most people return to carbs. I suspect it is from childhood
    imprinting on the carby foods. Even many of the people here talk about
    "cheat" days, and such. I sometimes wonder why I don't seem to have such
    problems.

    Man wasn't meant to eat meat.

    Maybe you're unclear on the concept of the low-carb diet except in its
    most extreme form (either that or you're trolling, which I'd prefer not
    to believe at this point). The premise is not that eating no
    carbohydrates is healthy. Rather, it's that eating processed and
    concentrated carbohydrates as a large part of your diet is unhealthy.
    Man was not meant to eat meat? Why do we have canine teeth? Why do
    monkeys and apes occasionally eat meat? And where is it part of the
    Great Plan that man should eat bleached white flour, processed white
    sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and polished white rice as a major
    part of his diet?

    It isn't about eating meat. Meat is just one of the things you eat
    while you avoid eating too much of the stuff that gives you an insulin
    spike every Thanksgiving, so you pass out in front of the TV.

    In some parts of the world that's true. Ever eat a _live_ dog or puppy?
    Apart from an argument based on a logical fallacy, what's your point?

    I'll bet if ANY of you had to actually go out and get your
    own meat YOURSELF you'd become a vegetarian real quick! lol.

    What do you want to bet? You'd lose. Do you think there are no hunters
    or butchers, no meat-packing plant employees, no koshering rabbis, and
    no chefs reading this newsgroup? How about veterinarians? These people
    are all vegetarians?

    I don't think you'll find that farmers and hunters tend to be
    vegetarians, as groups. lol.

    You can't count or measure your food.
    You don't know what 1200 calories a day looks like.
    You have no self control over your eating habits.

    Newton's Second Law of Thermodynamics. Congratulations. Now go donate
    yourself to science.
