Dietary Myths Exposed 2

moonage

This is my last post on this forum so I thought I'd leave you with another plug for Barry Groves' book "Trick and Treat", which has a lot more information than the website, which can be a bit difficult to navigate. Many of you will probably have no interest in it, which is fair enough.

I thought this forum might have been a little more open minded. I enjoyed the debates during my brief time here but it can get a bit tiring being on the defensive so much.

And don't worry: I won't let the door hit my ass on the way out etc etc.

Bye!

How come your leaving. Surely if you believe in something you should stand up for your beliefs. Now Im going to have to find out the myths myself because all you done was said these was some but didnt tell me. If you have any good links just PM them onto me. I know a few myths myself but Im not really into diets in that way.
Im looking for a diet/meal plan for someone suffering from depression, that might give me energy and help me a tad.

Yawn already.

If you want to look at yerself the mirror is that way --->

Useless thread. Could have just put it in the other thread if you were not seeking attention.

*sorry mods, currently drinkin ...hope this beer doesn't damage my health irrevicobly (or however you spell it) .

Hhhmmm... need fresh meat.....

I think we are a very open minded bunch, but we just happen to need intelligent, well thought out and well backed up arguements is all and not the odd abstract to a paper that someone hasn't even read! God knows Temples made me seriously consider some ideas that were very hard for me to accept but if the arguement is good, clear and backed up enough you have to open your mind up to it whatever your preconceptions and I think you need to start doing this yourself instead of only believing what you read on a no-carb diet blog. Good luck though, it's been more entertaining with you around.

totally O/T but did anyone ever tell you theres a great diplomat lost in you? :pac:

--Kaiser--

OP, I could certainly see that you would think that some on this forum seem to be close-minded on certain accepted 'facts' (and agree to a certain extent), however, you really need to back up your opinion with more than empty rhetoric to be acknowledged properly

This is definitely my last post!

I was a bit tired when I wrote the "original" last one and have realised that the reason I gave for leaving wasn't really true and that I was somewhat unfair in what I said.

I won't be posting anymore because I've been spending too much time here, which has distracted me from other things I need to be doing.

I'd love to get into debates on cholesterol, salt, saturated fat, cancer etc but I'd probably end up a nervous wreck after a month!

Bye!
