No, when you are going to claim a cause and effect relationship you have to provide a reliable scientific source, or endure the resulting criticism or ridicule. To advance your argument you need to learn to express your opinions as opinions, or support them with a source. Your opinions are not facts.

You may have a good point somewhere, but when you keep presenting your opinions as facts without any factual support nobody (except the most gullible) is going to believe anything you say.

What you basically summed up the reason people don't get good help here because the forum becomes a never ending battle field of who's fact is superior to who. All forums are based on opinions, it's up to you to decide who to believe. You can post whatever you want true or not true and find tons of facts to support either way. And it's stupid to believe that everything I posted is my own opinion. I didn't formulate anything, they all came from a source. And that's why it's utterly pointless what you've wrote. You can google it up yourself and be your own judge. You came here for sport not to help people. Like the other trolls in here just to post counterpoints but not help the poster.

No, you can't find tons of facts to support alternative realities. Some things are facts, or at least have good supporting evidence, some things are just pure opinions. The former carry weight, the latter are a crapshoot at best.

Why do you think that people in Europe that drinks wine and have pastas and bread daily aren't fat like Americans.
He has not eaten any grains in 2 months. has not had rice or pasta either.

Thanks

Many reasons, none of which you mentioned.
You’re wasting your time, Vision33r is notorious for making claims without providing any scientific studies.

I will tell you that if you persist, you may end up divorced.
My wife overly watches my diet and we had some pretty mean arguments to where I would threaten divorce. Being on a low carb diet means that you are hungry all the time and will get cravings. I've had too many disappointments in my life, and a divorce would be just a small disappointment vs not eating properly. I have 1 stent. I have BMI=26, borderline BP, high triglyercides, borderline cholesterol issues, sensitive to carbs where a serving of carbs will put me into a hot flash and a crash, although my BG would high normal for most people during my hot flash and normal BG in the crash.

Invest in a BG meter and strips (cheap) and Lipid test kit.

I am less hungry on a low carb diet. A lot less.



Can't debate the wife issue, never had one.

If you are looking for a way of eating, that does not have at least some negatives attached to it, you might as well forget it.

Maybe try breatharianism.
