What is so good about this site is that we can compare and contrast the different aspects of low carb in a rational informative way. I agree with bloom, in whatever "plan" we follow we are not trying to be messianic or preach to anyone and we should not get religious about it.

It would be terrible if the low carb community started to suffer from intenicene strife. We would have ketostix at dawn.There would be battles for the detox high ground.

Wai'l has touched on my main concern and that is the marketing of low carb and the tag lines on the book sales. The book publishers do not mean to pit low carb against low carb but the titles have to grab the attention.

We have "revolution", "power" "busters" to denote a radical approach. We have all the "healthy" words that are currently fashionable "detox" "Flush" "cleansing".
