A Clarification

[bloodyrosemccoy]

For gods' sakes, people, I'm not cutting out carbs completely forever and always until death do I part. That would be dumb. The damn thing is a plan to balance my diet. Balance it! I'm just trying to get away from The College Ramen and Pop Tarts Diet I've been on.

I repeat for people online and off who respond to my cheerful commentary on an experiment with solemn disapproval: I am not suddenly cutting carbs completely; the idea was to reduce the carbs, and gradually rearrange their place in my eating habits. I'm just trying to fix my food intake, because right now it is not healthy, and reduce the carbs and fix which kind I do take and add some other good nutrition.  BALANCE, I SAY!  I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH HEALTHY FOOD!  WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP TELLING ME TO QUIT?!

*GASP*

*SPUTTER*

*turns off rampant caps lock*

*ahem*

It may be possible this experimentation is giving me mood swings.  I'll work on that.

my bad. shouldn't have made the assumption. It was an instant reflex that i developed from wanting to smack the people I know because a bunch of them got caught on the atkins thing. the probably cut meat out completely when that was the craze, as will. I don't know much about south diet, but I'm guessing its somewhat similar to some of the other eating habit changing life things (observe how my sentence structure is royally fucked. Thats what I get for trying to learn Dutch and brush up an my Spanish at the same time.)

Oh, not just you. There was a long line of people, and I finally snapped after an IM conversation.

I told luinmir up there that it's frustrating for me to keep having to reiterate that I make a differentiation between "I'm on that new diet where all you eat is almonds in flax seed oil for half a year" and "I'm trying to eat more vegetables and less birthday cake for dinner." I've researched this one a bit--it's supposed to be pretty good, especially for people with PCOS--and the plan is to use it more as a template than as a hard and fast rule. ("They're more like guidelines, anyway.") But I know enough people who have started dumb and counterproductive diet fads that I can see how you'd get the wrong impression. It wasn't you; it was the deluge of comments from every corner of my world yesterday that got obnoxious.
