Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Low-Carb Diets Unhealthy and a Ripoff, Experts Say

Those articles are just a load of junk!!! I watched them on the 10 o clock news last night saying that "HIGH PROTEIN" diets were a waste of time, and the only weight you would lose is WATER. And after you lose, YOU GAIN all the weight back and then some. And they also said COUNTING CALORIES is the only way to go in LOSING WEIGHT. Well Mr. Bigshot Doctor Guys I have 3 things to tell you:

1. If counting carbs is so harmful, why are there so many people who lose weight and successfuly keep it off?

2. If All You Lose is Water Weight, would the diet be as successful as it is today?

3. If Counting Calories is the ONLY way to lose weight, why is half of the U.S. overweight??????

I rest my case. This is just another way to derail low-carbers. But I'm not falling for it. I might have fallen for it once, but not this time. I know the facts and I know it works. Besides, I really stink at math, and can't calculate how many calories I eat every day!
