Low-Carb Thread At Amazon Incites Debate

Filed under: Health — jimmy @ 1:08 pm

I’m always interested in spreading the positive message of livin’ la vida low-carb to the masses any way that I can. It’s why I started my blog, wrote my book, created a podcast show, and most recently, began my very own discussion forum. All of these are tools that I use to share my experiences on the low-carb lifestyle.

You’ll recall I shared with you in this blog post about a thread at Amazon I started in August 2006 that simply asked, “What Are Your Criticisms Of The Low-Carb Lifestyle?” I had no idea when I opened that door what kind of response I would receive. But it’s been mostly positive and educational for all.

So far, there have been over 160 responses and the exchanges have been respectful even when the participants have disagreed. But this week the temperature at my low-carb discussion thread on Amazon was on the rise with a few rather curt comments from those who obviously have little to no respect for those of us who are livin’ la vida low-carb.

These people didn’t want to be bothered with the facts…their minds are already made up about the Atkins and low-carb diets and nobody will tell them otherwise.
