Thank you, meatwhiskey.
I don't really understand the dynamic of these threads. They start off with a seemingly straightforward question: Who's a carnivore? Do you really think veggies are bad? Are you all from Mars? And then they devolve into "I'm annoyed that the people for whom this WOE is successful are so happy about it." Why wouldn't we be? Should we wear sackcloth and ashes, and apologize for losing weight and feeling good?
If you don't want to know, then don't ask. Simple. Or if you're trying to prove a point--that meat & water is hard, or not historically or evolutionarily "correct," or that we're all doomed to die at age 42, then go find the carnivorous failures, people who couldn't do it, or didn't really want to, or who got fat eating only meat (good luck with that last one). They're the ones who can give you a rundown of the negatives, not the people who are currently doing it and are happy. For those of us for whom this works, it works very well--that's why we do it. Duh.
You don't see me starting or hijacking Dr. K's "optimal" diet threads, calling it a load of crap, even though it failed spectacularly FOR ME. Nor do I pester my WW friends, vegan friends, or even Krispy Kreme and Velveeta-eatin' friends. It's not my business if someone else likes something different than I do. If it works for them, I'm quietly happy for them.
I'm not a sheepdog; I don't feel the drive to herd everyone into my own peculiar corral.
