Very good article! I have been suffering from an increased "frustration" level as I read alot of posts lately. I have been trying to hold that back... as everyone deserves respect and courtesy... but sometimes I just have to walk away from the thread... because what I really want to say is ...

"PLEASE READ THE PLAN BOOK THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING!" It's obvious you have not done any homework and you want us to wave our magic wands and do it for you (no work on your part!).

"WHY DID YOU ASK THE QUESTION IF YOU ARE GOING TO REPEATEDLY DENY THE NEED OR THE SUGGESTIONS?"
This one drives me crazy. "gee I am eating five low carb bars a day and not losing - but that is NOT the problem!" LOL!

Okay... I needed to say that ... not directed at anyone in particular - just some pent up frustration spilling out! LOL!

I need to copy this article and keep it handy.
