So why are you here...?

We have already CHOSEN a better alternative to the typical western diet that we probably were indulging in! You have to remember: we have tried all the rest and have failed that is why we CHOOSE LOW CARB; not only for fat loss but HEALTH, proven by the people.

You still did not state why you were still here and oh yes, what your eating regimen was. Good bye


i do plan to continue to lump all low-carb plans together, not to be argumentative, but simply by definition, they are all advertised as such, and treated as such, by the average person.

should any of the low-carb plans want to somehow differentiate itself from other low-carb plans, it is up to that plan to make that differentiation known to the general public. at this point, the general public lumps them altogether, so i will do the same, for it is this same general public that i am aiming to help, not those who have already made up their minds. i know you may think that the atkins plan is different. it may well be. but unfortunately for them, the term "atkins" is used by the public when referring to low-carb diets, in much the same way that the term "coke" is used quite often by the public to refer to a soft drink. being number 1, most certainly has its merits as well as its pitfalls.

however, if there is a particular plan that you would like to discuss, that you think merits special attention, because of its difference to what the other low-carb plans tout, i am happy to discuss this with you.

i think in previous posts, since you made this post, i have answered why i am here (i will intentionally dismiss "still here" - LOL), and what my eating regimen is, but if this was not done to your satisfaction, i will attempt to do so, at your request.

Well, your low-carb plan is advertised as "eat ample protein, ample fat, and the rest in carbs", why not lump that with them too?

This is your 350th+ post out of 700+ posts in this thread, and you have yet to show what is "too low". And even using your own "low-carb formula" you don't state what ample fat, ample protein and the rest in carbs actually means, and how it's not low-carb.

So it's a few months later, and we're still going around the same circle. You do not state your formula, nor show any reasonable criteria for finding a correct formula. So what's the point?

Go home, think for a while and if you can come up with a formula that you want to argue, while providing something factual and scientific (not just anecdotal or fanciful) to support your numbers, then come and tell us all about it. Textbooks are fine too, anything scientific is acceptable.

Wa'il

Default Glucose metabolism in the brain

Hi, Gymee. I thought you might find this article quite interesting. adkpam posted it on a thread I started on Alzheimers in the Media Watch forum.

http://www.allyourstrength.com/nutrition_1002Fuel.html

You might also be interested in the Alzheimer's thread because of the recent news about a link between impared glucose metabolism in the brain (which appears to have a genetic link) and Alzheimer's disease.

Wow! Really? How much nutrition do you get from Mike and Ike?

Total nonsense. Sugar is poison and I must say that your thinking is truly warped.

Tell this to a type I diabetic who can't cut their own toe nails and has lost a limb.

Tom.
