hi TeriDoodle and Wbahn,


What almost unsettled me was the big stick that some people here tend to wave , or the " listen to me , I know best attitude" and we all are aware of how many Low Carb experts this site attracts LOL. Another thing that I found irritating was the somewhat patronising attitude at times . I felt , hell , they dont know how frustrated I feel as they've all lost their weight already . LOL .

Cos I have a science backround , I decided to go and educate myself cos I dont believe in magic and I read and read and read around the subject till I felt confident how to progress . I do feel critical of Atkins though because it lead me to believe that free=free . But not for me !! maybe for others ?


I want action dude ! I want to see it happening , not imagine that it is happening ,and I will remain on 20 g Carbs until I am at least 75% gone and I will treat myself with sweetened creme fraiche ( extra thick ) when I feel deprived , it is heavenly !!

I know that people have good intentions , thats why I stuck it out .
