hi there,

I think folks misunderstand where we're coming from here. We are not condemning WW or other low-fat, low-calorie programs. We're simply saying that the focus of Active Low-Carber forums is exclusively for persons who choose a low-carb, high-fat WOE .. either for weight loss or other health reasons. Period. There is no malice or ill will toward folks who choose another dietary approach ... and we will continue to offer links to websites where those other approaches can be supported.

If a person following a low-fat, low-calorie program (whether or not it's super-duper low in carbs) gets stuck, or has a question and seeks support .. they are going to be offered suggestions to increase their fat and calorie intake, which will be in conflict with their personal beliefs about their diet. This isn't an issue of ill-will, it's simply an issue of different nutritional beliefs. We do not wish to create conflict or upset for anyone, and so we will continue to respectfully suggest that persons desiring to pursue a low-fat, low-calorie diet or "points" system of eating would be better served to seek that support elsewhere.


hth,

Doreen
