 Because we like good food, and can afford it.

I am dropping half a kilo a day. It works. It works for others, and it will work for me (In fact I have got down to 109 before doing the same diet) so you are wrong.

"Fitness industry" meaning the "health and fitness industry" so not just exercise but diet too.

Probably not for the reasons you think though, and I said you'd fail in the long-term. When your weight loss stops, and even returns, you'll turn to the same sources to get a different set of lies and you'll then think "ah, so *this* is the right way to do it", and when that ultimately fails you'll repeat the process. Why do you think so many "new" diets come out and why the advice changes on a weekly basis? To fool you into thinking something new or different has been discovered, to fool you into thinking the fault was the fault of the last process you followed but *this one* will be better. You will continue on that treadmill endlessly, always repeating your mistakes.
1) Eat less
2) Move more
3) Win
"Hey look, I've stopped going to Dominos and Burger King and I've lost some weight...the only possible explanation for that is because I'm eating fewer carbs".

I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. Your weight is a product of your lifestyle. If you can't maintain the way you eat now forever then only one thing can happen....you'll go back to your old lifestyle, so you'll also go back to your old weight. When the weight gains slow and possible even reverse what are you going to do then? Look for the next fad diet and start the process over.
The proper advice is out there, but you can't force people to follow it, the allure that losing weight and being healthy is some complex mystical science just seems more appealing to a lot of people for some reason.

Yes, that is why I am changing my lifestyle.

Eating no carbs? You think you're going to spend the rest of your life eating no carbs? You know that's incredibly unhealthy and unreasonable? Here's a simple idea around a change of lifestyle that is realistic and maintainable....don't drink three glasses of wine a night...400-500 calories a day saving right there.

When I have got to a good weight I can on occasion eat refined carbs and sugars.
And no it isnt 'incredibly unhealthy and unreasonable'. Mankind didnt have refined carbs or sugars till about 200 years ago.
And no, not drinking red wine is NOT realistic.

LOL Ok, I'll leave you to your pseudo-science mumbo jumbo. When you finally crack the science make sure you go to Africa to spread the word there, maybe help lift those poor uneducated people from their obesity crisis too.

What on earth are you on?
It is not 'pseudo-science' to state, correctly, that refined carbs and sugars are a relatively recent introduction to our diet and that hence not eating them is in no way dangerous, or odd.
And WTF has Africa got to do with it?

Your original post talked about carbs, not refined carbs and refined sugars. My reply was about carbs, you are now talking about refined carbs ergo are now fighting a straw-man argument as your actual arguments hold no weight.

Well since plant fiber is a carb, dont you suppose I was referring to the usual rice, potatoes, flour trio? (not to mention sugars)

Wow, I didnt realise me wanting to lose weight was such an argument. Apparently to some it is. You for example.

LOL so now we need to know what you mean, not what you say? Regardless, not eating refined carbs is fairly unrealistic too.
Munchies_Matt wrote: Wow, I didnt realise me wanting to lose weight was such an argument.
I didn't say it was, I think it's fairly obvious the arguments I was referring to are your arguments that losing weight involves knowledge if chemistry, that it is complicated, that you can maintain a no-carb lifestyle and all the other things you (and others) have repeatedly said on this thread.
Seeing as it looks like you're finally out of anything of merit to say there is no point dragging this onto semantics.

So you never heard of the GI diet, refined carbs? Really? Do we need to tell you everything?
F-ES Sitecore wrote: not eating refined carbs is fairly unrealistic too
Because white rice, potatoes, and white flour is impossible not to eat? FFS get real would you.
F-ES Sitecore wrote: your arguments that losing weight involves knowledge if chemistry
No I didnt. I never mentioned chemistry.

Garbage fad diet that won't help you lose weight in the long-term.
Munchies_Matt wrote: Because white rice, potatoes, and white flour is impossible not to eat?
I said fairly unrealistic, not impossible....it's even in the text you quoted. Straw-man argument.
Munchies_Matt wrote: I never mentioned chemistry.
You might not have mentioned the literal word chemistry, but when you talk about sugars, fats, insulin and their effects that is chemistry - "the scientific discipline involved with compounds composed of atoms, i.e. elements, and molecules, i.e. combinations of atoms: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other compounds"

See, you are fighting still. Since your first comment you have been antagonistic, negative, and combative. This post of yours just exposes you true intent.
Why? Had a bad day? Compensating? Someone damaged you as a kid and you are angry at the world?

Still got no actual arguments I see so are resorting to ad hominem.
