My rant against carb concious people - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 09-05-2004, 07:09 PM

Low Carb lifestyles are all over the place. Magazines, books, classes. Low carb diets have even begun to take over our foodstores. Low carb dressings, low carb ice cream, low carb peanut butter, low carb sodas, low carb Doritos. Frankly, if youre on a diet, you shouldnt be eating the damn Doritos to begin with. Perhaps an apple would be better. They preach about how life changing this diet plan is, but at the end of the day all it is is another diet plan. As soon as you go back to carbs, boom! the weight goes back on. Its a good quick way to lose weight, but in order to mantain it you actually have to keep up with the low carb lifestyle. Im so damn sick of seeing magazine covers every month with new 'LOW CARB RECIPES' and new carb breakthroughs. All I ever see now at grocery stores are low carb foods. You want it, it has a low carb alternative. If youre so eager to lose weight then you do what the doctor tells you: move more, eat less. This all coming from the girl who can eat half a bag of Doritos- full of carbs mind you, but hey Im trying to get back on track.

That is all. Thank you and goodnite. [/bitch mode]

I know. My cousin is on the carb kick and she's all "oh i can eat good things now that i watch my carbs". I'm like just get your ass to the gym you lazy piece of crap. I hate when people want to lose weight and don't even try to do it the right way.

/end rant.

Any diet that excludes !!!!!!FRUITS!!!!!! is screwed up, IMO.

CheersChild4life · 09-05-2004, 07:27 PM

That's why I don't like lypo and stuff like that. I can understand maybe if your like gunna die cause of you weight, but my mom's friend weighs like 2 punds overweight and she's getting it.

TheGreatPretender · 09-05-2004, 08:07 PM

That is simply because nobody wants to hear you are only going to lose weight if you eat healthier and excercise more. But seriously if anything you should cut calories, I mean your body needs carbs for energy.

Evidently, taking a walk and eating healthy is just too much for people to handle. Like its too hard.

Hollow · 09-05-2004, 09:07 PM

it's weird, i eat so much junk food and i dont gain any weight, so i really dont watch what i eat because i dont have to. except earlier this year i didn't seem to have a lot of energy and my dad thought it was because i wasnt eating enough so he put me on this pill that increased my appetite, and in about 2 months i'd gone from like 125 lbs to 150, and i looked exactly the same as i had before. guess i was just empty

then i wasnt worried about being fat but it felt too uncomfortable to weigh that much so i stopped eating for a few days and then i just told my dad i didnt want to take the damn pill anymore so he let me stop, and i've been dropping weight since. the end.

Ugh, exactly.

The only way people are going to get into shape; is to get their fat butts off the couch or away from the computer, and exercise; I eat anything I want and I am in shape, because I take care of my body by running everyday...

Thank GOD I'm not the only one. Low Carb Everything is pissing me off and ruining the world. When freakin fast food goes all carb-conscious, you know it's beyond ridiculous.

And I don't care how much weight a person loses...eating nothing but freakin steak is gonna bite you in the ass (or heart to be specific) in the long run. And I will laugh, because I ATE POTATOS...I ATE BREAD....I ATE HAMBURGERS WITH DAMN BUNS ON THEM!!!!!

The carb diet thing is stupid. I agree that if you want to lose weight then you need to eat healthier and exercise. If it works for me then it can work for anyone.

Chelsea · 09-06-2004, 01:40 AM

Best diet solution ever invented:

Getting up off your ass, and, gasp, doing ****.

Hey, it's worked for me so far (You see my complain about my weight, but even THAT isn't as bas as it once way).

crystals · 09-06-2004, 01:41 AM

I don't see the big deal with carbs, either. Just watch that you don't eat too much junk food like chips and popcorn and stuff and exercise on a regular basis. And drink water a lot because it flushes out the system and also helps a person to lose weight. I'm in good shape because I drink lots of water, probably more than what I've heard is the reccommended amount: about 8 glasses a day. I probably drink about 15 glasses a day. I love water. I also dance quite a bit on a regular basis. I've heard that a person is supposed to exercise for at least half an hour a day. Or, at least close to that. Sometimes I'll exercise for an hour. Sometimes more. Until I get bored.

I drink soda and kool-aid.

Quick math for those of you that bother to count calories.

In a 20oz Bottle of Pepsi, there is 100 calories per serving. Alright, except, the bottle isn't the serving. The serving is 8 ounces. If you notice, there are 2.5 servings in a bottle.

100 calories becomes 250 calories just like that.

I won't even BOTHER to discuss the amount of calories in fast/fats food...
