My buddy Jeremy... I'll swing the axe.....
My friend....you are a hero...
I will tell you that I completely understand what you're saying....I too have been attacked by those people who want to intice you into a fight for the sake of fighting about it....
Let me be the first to tell you a secret.... listen to the naysayers... let them continue to empower you... give them a reason to hate your success... they feel the need to talk a load of nothingness because it serves their personality. You are an inspiration....you inspire for making the sacrifice of following a strict plan to remain in ketosis. If they can't or won't, then more power to them..... As anyone on this board.... I've had my fights wth naysayers, but in the end, I'm skinny, super healthy, happy and if I want to have something, i can have it because I'm still taking less carbs than they are, yet I'm able to do whatever I want physically.
I run, swim, jog, lay bricks, push boulders, sail, climb, dive, snorkle....and I'm sure you get my drift. I have done nothing but try to bring others to understand that it's not about killing every single carb, but to go lower until you make the difference in your weight. As for me, I'm happy with eating steak or chops, or flax nearly every single meal....with some side vegetable, salad, or whatever. I have faced a HUGE amount of criticism for telling people to eat Flax cereal....LMAO one of the most healthy yet low carb things in the world.... I can't do much but giggle at them. out of the 200 people who have tried the militant diet only 50 people have successfully finished it and lost everything down to their goal.... the others needed a diet with more carbs...did nearly all of them lose weight? Yep.... did they learn that they can gain after their surgery? Yes.... can it be corrected through ketosis? YES.... it's all about really using the tool.... but hey, I'm no doctor...never claimed to be.... I'm just like you... a guy who loves some big people and want to stop their suffrage....
It is so hard to fight a lot of people off, but you know what....the system works for you.....we know it works for me...and we're walking proof that they can't talk all they want...but our method works... I'm healthy, strong, vibrant, and fun.....just like I want them to be.... yep even the people who curse us.... really when it comes down to it... I think it's best to let them drown in their hatred of us. I'll always be the first one to defend your methods. I will admit that if someone pushes theselves to the point of stupidity, they could damage themselves, but I include healthy carbs just like you do in your plan. I publish my plan for the world to see... I've had nutritionists and doctors alike tell me how innovative and terrific it is to actually profile the act of ketosis and harden it by profiling the foods and the choices within a span of time to help long term fat burning methods.
So hey my brother keep your head held high.....show your skinny off and be proud of the people you inspire.... I've never, not once, turned away a person who was fat who wanted my help. I've never criticized them for searching for another path that they can't seem to find a method even after surgery..... Imagine the flak that I've endured for helping people who have gained weight after the initial loss after the surgery is over.... wow bro.... but I've got 10 perfect ladies who came back after the hardened stalls who have bypassed their original goal to be able to be coached beyond it by my little old diet plan.... so to the haters who don't want to listen....we eat carbs....I like them....I know when to stop eating them....I understand what they do and why the process acts the way it does. I don't eat a lot of carbs.....I'm like most dudes out there... I like meat...
Will that make them stop being critical of you? Nope.... it's their job to hate.....so I give them the reason... I remain successful and everyone who needs to be helped I give it openly and freely with the understanding tht they need to remain strong to reach the goal and change their eating habits to fit the new belly.... The little bellied army is going strong.... I'll continue to defend my position and yours....nothing wrong with how you've lost your weight...it has worked and I'm so happy you chose your path...
Why grind the axe against someone who is successful? I can't figure a reason either....

Ditto to what Ruth said! I may not be following yoru plan as I never recieved it(WINK) but I do try to follow your advice on making sure what carbs I eat are healthy carbs. Right now I am craving squash for some reason. So I made a pan of oven roasted squash for Easter and have satisfied that want and I am still losing well. Anyway I hope to see you back around sometimes.
