Do you ever get angry?

(Andy Hanson) #1

So, I feel better than I have in 20 years, eating exactly what I’ve been told not to eat by doctors, the government, television, health magazines, etc., for my entire life.

When I think about all those years I tried and failed to “eat right” and keep weight off, it makes me angry. Yes, I’m so happy that I feel great now, but what about all those years? What about the medicine I’ve paid for, the sluggishness I’ve experienced, the cloudy thinking, the back and joint pain, all because I did what I was told was the right thing?

Does it ever make you angry? If so, what do you do about it?

Hello all!

I feel like I’ve taken the red pill… I’ve learned more about keto than any other diet or way of eating ever, and I don’t think I can ever go back to carbage!

I still get angry at tv commercials or “news” that spews the same old dogma. Diabetes drug pushers are the worst. It’s not as bad as when I first figured out how I’d been lied to and made sick for years, but still every once in a while.

I can get angry when I see articles like this one

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.za/asunta-simoloka/here-are-the-downsides-to-a-lchf-diet-that-you-have-to-consider/

But then the more I read it, the more I started to laugh. I can’t believe someone can get so many things wrong in one article

Wow, just wow. Of course Huffpo is a crap publication anyway.

Yes. I feel my feelings 5 mins ,then enter into gratitude. 40 years of trying to eat myself to death, teased by classmates, lead me to the next 40 years of complete awesomeness. It’s like I won the lottery every dang day for the next 40 years.

Don’t waste too much energy in the negatives, do feel your feelings and forgive yourself and others.

Every time I look in the mirror.

Forty years of awesomeness! I like the sound of that.

I get pissed off every time I’m at work and have to order a “heart healthy” diet.

Or for instance, today when the doc I was rounding with told a patient that “honey and oatmeal is great, stay away from the bacon”.

Greed is so powerful. There is big money being made by keeping people sick. Don’t expect any real change to happen for many, many years. Just tell others what you know. Be a shining example of the new health you have achieved. You may save a few lives, and they will go on to save a few more lives, etc. I really believe that’s the best we can hope for.

That’s the hard part, isn’t it farmgirl? When I think of not only my health, but the health of millions of people who are sick and dying because of the consensus opinion, it makes me angry. I’m sure we’ve all had friends and family who have suffered and died because of the “solid science” behind the low fat, high carb diet that’s been pushed on us for decades.

I don’t even think it’s greed, I think it’s we’ve been indoctrinated for so long that if they try and sell something that really is healthy, they’d be run out of business…

Nope, it’s greed.

Edit: Of course, that’s not saying that everyone is being greedy. Not everyone gains any particular benefit from repeating the standard advice. However, the source of that advice is motivated by greed, and also the motivation to keep the status quo and not examine other paths is based on greed. It’s just not in their interest, so they ignore it.

Omg! I love how she constantly refers to it as LCHF but continues to say it is a high protein/meat diet… Amidst the other multitude of “facts” that are incorrect. What gets me angry is that this kind of information is still being spread and there are unsuspecting people that believe it!!!

Yes, that’s the bit that gets me angry. When I’ve nearly convinced friends to give this woe a go, then they read something like this and get put off.

Groan!

Sometimes I get a bit miffed, but for the most part I’m just glad I found Keto before becoming diabetic. While my blood tests have always said different, everything else points to pre-diabetes. Though I have no doubt that if I’d known about this WOE 5 years ago, I wouldn’t have piled on the weight when my chronic compartment syndrome became so debilitating and I had to give up an incredibly active life…or the depression that inevitably followed.

(Karen Parrott) #21

I was in the same boat. Likely pre-diabetic but not Keto before I got a bad case of plantar fasciitis and have a bit of a limit on some of my favorite activities.

Better late than never. Knowing that Google will be indexing this forum will help others find this WOE.
