The original study she quotes in the Buzzfeed article that is. So the Buzzfeed author quoted the study incorrectly

Someone’s math is bad. It has the average man as 175.3 cm or 69” which is 5’9” not 5’7”

I have those at least weekly! Love em.

I few like I’m in a used car lot. I question one of your points (you say low carb doesn’t “work” I say it does for some) and you wave your hands and talk about something else. You say you’re leaving and I ask why you didn’t and you change the subject. I point out you are trying to make sure other paths are represented and not slammed on I point out you are doing slamming of your own you wave your hands (throw out articles and stats) to change the focus, ignore my comments and questions and talk about something else. As someone who fully does believe there is no one right path I challenge your stance that you are just pointing out an alternate one. You a fully saying yours is the only right one and that the rest of us will be sorry later that we didn’t follow yours (ie the higher carb one that emphasized plant protein). Just come out and be honest.

Ahhh well goodness that makes sense and I guess stirring the pot gets her lots of credits bc she can post responses and such.

Yearly now at five years out

Yup and some of us with that issue are low carb-ers You say you’re trying to advocate against one size fits all but slam us all the time

Encouraged to do what doesn’t work? Except it DOES for many of us which is why it’s encouraged. You say you want people to realize there are multiple paths yet always say low carb doesn’t work.

I’m glad it works for you. What happened to “I’m leaving this board when I get to goal and people who hang around need to get a life?” I thought you said it was better for your health to not hang around. I’m five years out, low carb and have never been healthier. I’m glad we all find different paths to health.

Got it, thanks! I thought there might have been some discrimination or something like with Cracker Barrel!

I know ... Cracker Barrel ... Chick-fil-A ... now In-N-Out Not to get political but all I can find is that in & out donated 25k to the Republican Party and then the guy who called for the boycott rescinded the call bc he found they had donated to a lot of other causes. Is there more I am missing?

Yes! IF for the win!

On the other hand I’d never run a mile in my life outside of high school PE. Started couch to 5k four weeks after my sleeve surgery (SW 271) at age 44. Ran my first half marathon 9 months later. Still at it and have plenty more and some full marathons under my belt too. Running a trail half tomorrow. I’m five years post of and maintaining a 135ish loss.

What Matt said. You burn about 100 calories per MILE. (Regardless of how fast, you just burn the calories faster running than walking.) Are you walking three miles? If not then the 300 calories of wine is more than you are burning walking. Just sayin.

Sleeved 5 years ago at 44. Beyond thrilled. 271 to 135 ish. Couldn’t walk around the block without getting winded, now I run marathons. I didn’t even do that when I was 20.
