Hello all I would like to share an interesting picnic I had today

The apt. I live in has a pool and a couple of us wanted to have a picnic a the pool today(All women, all different ages and sizes)
So we all brought different things to share. As we were eating we were disscussing "diets"--what else??!! RIGHT!! Anyway one thing lead to another and we all talked about what different plans we were on and nobody cut on the other for how they ate or exercised. It was the first time I have not been cut down for being on this plan.

It was weird almost like I was dreaming. I didn't have to defend or listen to how I was killing myself~~~In the end we all came to the conclusion that everyone is different and not every plan works for everyone, but most importantly if something works for you then keep at it and live life to the fullest!!

I have to tell you it was the most enjoyable time I had talking about my plan and not being put down for it!~!!

Anyway just wanted to share and let people know that the "others' are coming around to the fact that we are not killing ourselves!!!

Sonja :D

Sounds like you had a really nice time.

I'm testing your theory as we speak, so. Just posted a sample LC daily menu on a different diet board as a reply to somebody who eats carrot sticks, rice cakes, and half a cup of soup......oh, and 5 crackers.....

The ultimate anorexia diet
 

Amazing that those are the same people that often say that low carb is unhealthy. Hello - where is your protein? I don't miss fat-free at all!

Sonja, I'm glad to hear about your positive experience. My sister is going on weight watchers, and while I don't agree with that diet, I plan to support her choice and hope it works for her. It's very true that everyone is different. More people are getting open minded about low carb. There have been several recent studies that show at least "lower" carb in a positive light.
