In what will be known as the first step in the collapse of the low carb fad diet craze, a national publication, Time Magazine has published a cover story on the catastrophic health risks of the fad. Finally a major news outlet has crushed the myth of low carb dieting by pointing out the truths that low carb dieters are unwilling to accept. The pork rind gobblers will be hoppin mad but the truth always hurts.
Response:
too bad for time that low carb dieting is neither fad, nor myth. No media outlet – no matter how much corporate money it has up its butt – can convince people that have lost so much weight and feel so much better – that all this is all in their imagination. As much as all the drug companies, junk food manufacturers and medical establishment types might like to keep people fat and sick – the truth is about what works – not about the propaganda. [ The above comment was not intended against all the caring physicians who are more concerned with their patients health and well being than their "professional brotherhood" - I happen to have a great doctor. If it weren't for her - I would still be avoiding the locarb life out of fear - but instead I am 30lbs lighter and have had substantial health gains in just the past 6 months]. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – In what will be known as the first step in the collapse of the low carb fad diet craze, a national publication, Time Magazine has published a cover story on the catastrophic health risks of the fad.

HUH???… I just checked out Time Magazine’s web site and the 3 articles that appear from Nov 1, 1999 are basically postive about the diet. Here is a copy of the title from one of the articles written by a physician… Read the article… how can you argue with the results?

I personally feel that the AMA (or whatever) is nervous. Many, many people are losing weight and dropping high cholesterol and lowering blood pressure by doing the opposite of what they have been feeding us. Of course they are going to lash out. I have never felt healthier in my life. I no longer consume junk food (and I am NOT a "pork rind gobbler"…have never even smelled one, let alone eaten one…they aren’t my thing…but far be it from me to pass judgement on those who do eat them, it is not my place and nor is it yours), I don’t eat refined sugar or white flour. How anyone could try to tell me I am "unhealthy" for this is beyond me. Perhaps I was better off going through 4 cans of Pepsi a day instead of good old fashioned WATER, snacking on Jax or potato chips instead of cucumbers or calcium-providing cheese, eating grilled cheese on white bread instead of grilled chicken, tuna, and tomatoes, gobbling down a full plate of spaghetti with sauce and bread so as that I feel like I have eaten a brick and am tired and hungry for more in an hour, to be awakened by stomach cramps at night because my body rejected the heavy carbs…which just turn to sugar and then BODY FAT as soon as you eat them. PLEASE. Get your facts straight. I eat a full, balanced diet of WHOLE foods. I have energy, feel fabulous, and am finally losing the weight my pregnancy put on me…which I attempted to do a year ago on the AHA’s dream diet…their "pyramid"…yeah I lost a little bit, but I felt tired, dissatisfied, deprived, headachy and sick…enough to stop that and go back to actually eating enough calories to sustain a person. And then the weight came back, because starving myself messed up my metabolism. Now, I eat as much as I want, when I want, and am actually boosting my metabolism while I lose weight. People should really get their facts straight before they start going off on people in a place they come to for support, motivation, and information. Have you ever read any of the books? Are you a nutritional expert? Do you know anything about any of us or our individual struggles? Do you really think that being as overweight as many of us are/were is less of a risk for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol than eating enough to nourish ourselves acheiving a lower, healthier weight? I have 17 pounds that says you are wrong. -JLS- 210/193/145 Somersizing since 9/1/99

Not bad for a trolling post. Pretty funny if you are a lowcarber posting tongue in cheek re the latest round of "LC makes your kidneys explode" media hype. Kali Blonde, not dead yet
