Now, if I was complaining about not being able to lose weight, I could understand some of the feedback I'm getting. As I am losing weight, exercising more, eating much more healthy....well, it's a bit odd.

Well you do seem to emphasize eating the way you want quite a bit. That is A priority for MOST of us, but then again, for MOST of us it is not THE priority. If it were, we'd all be eating the way we USED to before we took control, reorganized our priorities, and began to restrict ourselves. Those were certainly diets we could 'stick with', but that didn't make them better. The main benefit of your chosen diet, from what I can tell, is simply the fact that it suits you. But, so many people here are following a much different plan, and you seem to already know that. Restriction to the extreme is certainly not a virtue, but neither is lack of restriction to the extreme, we all have to follow a certain level of restriction, self-control. The feedback you get on your chosen plan DOES sound confusing to me, too, but I'm equally confused by your requests for feedback. It's hard for me to understand what feedback you are hoping to get, what support you want, from a group of people who don't follow 'your' plan? Because that's what people are trying to do, when someone responds to a post here on this board it is to offer some form of support, but, we are a bit in the dark as to what support you need, so I think that's why you're seeing the varying responses you're seeing.
