Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Low Carb Craziness       #39772 - 01/22/04 12:29 PM Edit Reply Quote Kristie Reged: 01/22/04 Posts: 5 Hi all! I'm new to the boards, but a long time IBS sufferer. I'm trying to implement Heather's suggestions from "Eating for IBS" into my life. My question is, how do you deal with well-meaning friends who tell you that low-carb is the way to go to be healthy? I, for one, am sick to death of all of the low carb messages that are all over the TV and in magazines. Thanks for letting me vent!

I hate the big red A (Atkins) all over the place...Low carb everything!!! Its really annoying! I would just tell people that your body does well with carbs and they really help your tummy! I can't even imagine eating all that red meat!! I'm with ya all the way!!! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Low Carb Craziness       #39776 - 01/22/04 12:39 PM Edit Reply Quote nurturingkneads Reged: 04/01/03 Posts: 370 Loc: NC,USA I know what you mean, I saw some post on another ibs board people claiming to have been cured by that diet, I just dont understand -------------------- Gretchen Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Low Carb Craziness       #39779 - 01/22/04 12:50 PM Edit Reply Quote hde Reged: 10/01/03 Posts: 28 I'm with you on that one! I am so annoyed by this whole low-carb craze. I eat small meals every few hours so people see me eating at my desk a lot at work. For some reason, some of these people feel that it's ok for them to comment on my food all the time. I am constantly hearing stuff like "I don't know how you can eat all those carbs and stay so thin" blah blah blah. I usually just smile and don't say anything at all for fear that I will flip out and tell them to mind their own darn business and stop worrying about what I eat!! So, don't worry, you're not alone!

And because of all the meat and dairy and fat that I DON'T eat. Say it with a smile, and leave 'em wondering.... - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

However, I am overweight, so I can't use that comeback. I suppose I just need to be able to tell people to mind their own business, huh?

Eeep. Not sure that'd make you popular, but then, that's not what you're going for, right?
