Post Wishy-washy article

ABC News.com article
Ok, so this article brings up some good points, but at the same time it infuriates me with some of the statements made by dietitians regarding the LC lifestyle. I guess everyone has their opinion (I just seem to voice my a little louder than others sometimes- sorry), but the quotes from the article below peeved me themost.

"If you have a history of depression in your family, a low-carb diet can be bad news," Tribole[dietitian in article] says." WHATEVER. I haven't been this happy in years!!

"And if you are on a low-carb diet, it is going to be hard to exercise," she adds, because carbohydrates are "energy" foods." Again, WHATEVER! Exercising is so much easier for me and I have tons of energy to do it now.

Each step forward for LCing comes so much harder when there's anti-LCers trying to push us backward.

Sorry for venting.

Nikki
