Just on a soapbox for a moment!

Re: Just on a soapbox for a moment!

I was silently laughing to myself today at work while 5 people were discussing what meats had the lowest fat content because that would be the healthiest meat.

I turned around, stated quietly, "I've lost almost 85 lbs eating high fat cuts of meat. You can't tell me that they are unhealthy." One looked at me and said, "Well that's because you cut out carbs." I laughed. Then he told me I should watch out for my liver because apparently my diet will make my liver die. I laughed again, shaking my head at their nonsense.

I think it's nuts. I mean I eat veggies, chicken, sometimes beef, fish, and it's seen as unhealthy. I think that everybody goes off the 1970's version of Atkins.

How come if you say I ate chocolate cake for breakfast, some cookies for lunch and ice cream for dinner, I would probably get a: you too?!? I've done that before.

Eating processed foods and taking diet pills are also horrible for your liver, but those same people don't like to hear that in rebuttal. You should try it some time, get a couple of blank looks, eye rolls and "Whateva"s.

i would have told my co workers their diet will cause their pancrease and liver to fail due to all the extra insulin they will be producing eating higher sugar high carb foods.....that leads to diabetes.
