MN low carbers are the most batshit collection of people known to mankind. I remember when I was in the vulnerable throes of post natal depression and attempting to lose some of the 4 stone I'd put on during pregnancy, I decided to try a bit of low carbing and posted on those for support. Never again. I was told that the grated carrots I had in my salad were no better than haribo. Absolute bellends, making bread out of eggs and suchlike.Bacon is fine in moderation if you cut the fat off but I’d forgo the bread because CARBS. Come over to the low carb boot camp thread OP, where you can feast on delicious cobwebs and yummy air instead.
They are incapable of critical thinking. I was reading one of the Intermittent Fasting threads, and apparently drinking anything other than plain water breaks the fast. Even black tea/herbal tea/black coffee/zero calorie drinks aren't allowed - when I asked why not and what difference it made, I got made to feel as if I was an absolute idiot for even considering drinking anything other than water. However, if you look on the NHS website and other specific weight loss sites, drinking sugar free, calorie free beverages is recommended.MN low carbers are the most batshit collection of people known to mankind.

Another forum I used to be on, that particular topic was dragged up regularly.Sink washes are what I have when I'm camping and haven't got 20p for the shower. The rest of the time I jump in the shower, it's quicker, more efficient and I'm sure uses a similar amount of hot water.
Mumsnet posters are a funny lot. I've never had a real life conversation with anyone about how often I wash, how I wash and when I change my bedding
I do 16/8 too, it is how I lost the 4 stone!They are incapable of critical thinking.

On a completely separate note, the 16/8 IF diet has changed my life, seriously. It's so easy and so effective.
Confession: I did actually do the low carb Bootcamp for a while, when I had baby weight to lose, and it DID work. I did genuinely feel good when I was doing itMN low carbers are the most batshit collection of people known to mankind.

I'm glad, I was a bit concerned about Allan and his sundry, such a relief to know all is well.Allan’s sundry is pleased to report that the local nob has been nothing but charming to him unlike the ghastly nouveau riche who are just knobs…
What rot. I do IF 16/8 x 5 days a week on water and black coffee. It's fantastic.Even black tea/herbal tea/black coffee/zero calorie drinks aren't allowed - when I asked why not and what difference it made, I got made to feel as if I was an absolute idiot for even considering drinking anything other than water.
Me too, it's the easiest eating plan I've ever followed. No fads or gimmicks, just a nice regular weight loss.What rot. I do IF 16/8 x 5 days a week on water and black coffee. It's fantastic.
It works because you're limiting your intake of calories. Like all diets. They're all different ways of doing the exact same thing.Confession: I did actually do the low carb Bootcamp for a while, when I had baby weight to lose, and it DID work. I did genuinely feel good when I was doing it
But in the end I couldn’t keep up with all the cooking myself separate things, and I DID miss carbs. Also realised I was lactose intolerant which rather put the brakes on drinking coffee with cream (as delicious as it was) and making “fathead” dough out of mozzarella
You’re right though, the gatekeepers of those threads are really fierce. I got told off for having salad leaves two days in a row… the bag is open and needs using up people!
These days I try to limit my carb intake but would never bother with proper low carbing again. I love bread and chocolate too much.
That’s not true. If anything, when you’re doing a very low carb plan (low carb high fat), your calorie and fat intake is high.It works because you're limiting your intake of calories. Like all diets. They're all different ways of doing the exact same thing.
I didn't count calories on low carb high fat, you don't count calories, but your caloric intake is still low. Stops you being hungry for one thing.That’s not true. If anything, when you’re doing a very low carb plan (low carb high fat), your calorie and fat intake is high.
It works because you put your body into ketosis. Ketosis occurs when your body doesn’t have enough carbs to fuel itself, so it switches to burning fat instead. Keto appealed to me precisely because I didn’t want to count calories.
Exactly! Great to cut down on white bread and white pasta and sugary things (although IMO cutting them out completely is pretty joyless). But when those threads start haranguing people for eating pulses and sweet potatoes because they are "too carby"! Bonkers!All diets help you lose weight by being in a calorie deficit. Cutting out carbs is silly. Cutting out refined carbs would do…in most eating plans for weight loss you do that anyway.
Loads of people on those threads can't actually cook for shit. Whenever cooking spray is mentioned I flounce offThe diet threads always make me somewhere between highly amused, and genuinely angry at the amount of shite that gets spouted, all these strange diet rules and dependence on eating things like Mug Shots and Cuppa Soups. Surely it would be a thousand times healthier and probably not many more calories to actually make a huge batch of vegetable soup and have that during the week instead of a cuppa soup? So many of them fixate on losing pounds quickly but completely ignore the idea of starting an actual healthy lifestyle.
Oh god tell me about it. There was once a thread, I'm not really sure what the actual question was, but the OP was asking something about her chilli/bolognese recipe. Guess what the recipe was. Beef mince cooked with tinned tomatoes. That's it. No salt or herbs/spices, no veg.Loads of people on those threads can't actually cook for shit. Whenever cooking spray is mentioned I flounce off
