Why?<BR/><BR/>There is absolutely no need at all for vegetables, fruits, fiber, or any kind of carbohydrate intake whatsoever. The myth that you do need them is the real "nonsense". I could care less what mainstreamers think. Let them come out with all their asinine studies and such. FAT is king. Carbs are not. Laura Dolson and Michael Kirtley are wrong.<BR/><BR/>Now if I can just shake my own carb addiction.....Mr Bunnell are you there, hehe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-11067959326571185012007-08-25T06:23:00.000-04:002007-08-25T06:23:00.000-04:00You speak on behalf of many of us who feel the sam...You speak on behalf of many of us who feel the same way, Cathy! :)Jimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-17058922630192782762007-08-25T02:45:00.000-04:002007-08-25T02:45:00.000-04:00How many times have I had some well-meaning person...How many times have I had some well-meaning person say "oh, low carb is dangerous, you need vegetables"? I could scream! <BR/><BR/>I'd have to say that the vast majority of low carb "lifers" I know eat more vegetables than non-low carbers. <BR/><BR/>With all the studies and research that has been done, people still spouting this drivel just show their ignorance. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'm coming across as a little hostile but I'm just sick and tired of hearing the same tired nonsense.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823061271854571028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-34017483377901252092007-08-24T21:08:00.000-04:002007-08-24T21:08:00.000-04:00Oops, sorry CB!

In fact, quite the opposite is true(see: Inuits, Kekwick, etc.).<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying that we low-carbers should necessarily advocate for *no-carb* diets; but at the same time, it is counter-intuitive for we low-carbers to propagate scientifically unfounded statements such as the one above.<BR/><BR/>Low-carb certainly doesn't have to be *no-carb* (it isn't for me, nor for anyone else I know), but by the same token, it certainly *can* be - and it can be perfectly healthful.<BR/><BR/>That said, I agree with your premise: truthfully, I eat more - and a greater variety of - vegetables than just about anyone I know; and in doing so, I am well within the confines of my low-carbohydrate approach (a hybrid of Atkins and PPLP).chipbennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595891619752903883noreply@blogger.com
