  • Since one's weight can very as much as a couple of pounds a day, how are you able to attribute such a minute intake of carbs to any weight gain or loss?
    You have a serious eating disorder, which is evidenced by your unpleasant responses to those above who are only trying to help you.
    Like an alcoholic, you will continue to deny your problem vehemently, until you finally decide that you need help. Let's hope this happens before you have eaten yourself into a very ailment filled old age.

    • I weigh myself at the same time daily and I keep a detailed food journal. I'm also very aware of how I look and how my clothing fits and I notice changes.

      I don't really get what you're saying. Most carb-laden food IS bad and completely unnecessary to consume (processed sugars, flour, corn products, potato, rice). They are a good energy source but only if you need and USE that energy immediately, otherwise it tends to get stored as fat. There's no risk in eliminating the above foods from the diet unless you desperately need fuel. There's substantially more risk in removing the foods I DO eat so honestly I have no idea how you get "eating disorder" out of someone who eliminated only the junk a human body does not need at all.

      I eat lots of veg, fruit, meat and nuts. Some dairy. What exactly is the problem?

      • I guess all those doctors, dieticians and researchers should just chuck the Food Pyramid because you know so much more than they do.
        I'm happy for you.

          "The thing to keep in mind about the USDA Pyramid is that it comes from the [U.S.] Department of Agriculture, the agency responsible for promoting American agriculture, not from agencies established to monitor and protect our health, like the Department of Health and Human Services, or the National Institutes of Health, or the Institute of Medicine."

          You can google up numerous other sources to learn more.

          • Yep, right on. It's ALL about the [U.S.] Department of Agriculture, is that what you are saying? Not about health but sales?
            Alrighty then, explain this; http://www.eufic.org/article/en/expid/food-based-dietary-guidelines-in-europe/
            I love the internet. One can find support for any stupid view one wishes, and some rather interesting facts, too.

            • The USDA itself got rid of the food pyramid, you dolt. They don't use it anymore. Now it's some plate thing. Go on their website and look.

              There is tons of reputable information debunking the food pyramid. It's not crazy nutjobs, it's legitimate science. The food pyramid never distinguished healthy grains from unhealthy, better proteins from worse (like chicken vs steak) and good fats from bad. That is fact. There's also that pesky fact I mentioned earlier...the food pyramid was chucked by the very agency that created it.

              • Boy, now I really respect your view more because you found it necessary to call me names. That so fortifies YOUR position.
                I'm not the one who has to worry about his unhealthy eating habits. When you are my age, you might very well regret some choices you made now, as your body breaks down prematurely. But if you don't give a shit, I certainly don't!
