I enjoyed your comments. No need to worry about runnin’ on. My family would tell you that I do that on occasion too. LOL
I had to laugh about your use of the word, “cult”. That word came to my mind as well when I’ve read comments in the past about this particular diet. Oh well, if it is working and continues to work for SOME people, I’m glad for them. Hopefully years down the road they won’t find out that that the weight they lost, or rather, how they lost it, came at a higher price than they realized.
I would think my own family would listen to me. I was a fat kid my whole life until about age 15. I turned the whole thing around and have been in good shape ever since.
Tell a runner to cut out carbs and they will think you are crazy. Seen many fat runners? The Japanese used to be among the thinnest (Healthy.) people in the world and ate plenty of carbs.
For some of the things I do, if you don't eat carbs, you will not be able to complete the objective. Not to mention you get fuzzy-headed on a low carb diet.
Didn't I say I wouldn't get involved in this topic again, LOL!
