LadyBelle is right in saying that this board is not only for folk who wish to lose weight. We support and encourage anyone who wishes to follow the low carb way of life.

However, that does not mean we will encourage seriously underweight people to lose weight.

And when we see underweight members, many of us, out of concern for their health, try to encourage them to eat more.

For example, it is disturbing to me to see Honeybfly, who is definitely underweight to a point where her health could be threatened, worrying that a calorie intake of 1500 to 1800 is "out of control."

Honey, for you to just maintain your weight, 1800 calories is nowhere near too much. Please consider eating a little more.
