SparklyUnicorn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 My goodness. Mostly I like them for food/recipe ideas. But some people in the groups I've tried are just....wow. Stuff like I've only lost 8 pounds in two weeks what is wrong. Or are bananas low carb. Or if I just eat blocks of lard will I lose faster. Just freaking stop...give me your good recipes and stop with the dumb arse questions. LOL Maybe I'm just being a jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Are there any less annoying low carb groups out there? No. No there aren't. It's because none of y'all are eating carbs and everyone's grumpy. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitten18 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 In the message board at Low Carb Friends there's a subforum "low carb recipe help and suggestions". That subforum is really just about the food and recipes, no drama. I stay away from the rest of the site. I get a lot of recipes from Linda's Low Carb. I like how she just posts the recipe, a couple comments, and at the most one picture. I get very, very irritated with blogs with dozens of pictures an pages of inane chit chat before posting the recipe. http://genaw.com/lowcarb/index.html But those have both been around a long time and I'm sure you're aware of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The I've only lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks people annoy me the most. They aren't actually upset, they are seeking congratulations without actually bragging. At least that it what I think most of them are doing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people drop a lot at first and then it's ya know the typical AVERAGE of 1ish pounds per week, but they seem to be under the impression that the speed of the weight loss should continue. It never does! Not on any diet. If they just said I lost 8 pounds! Ppl would cheer. But seriously they get all flustered if the speed of weight loss isn't break neck.

Dh is a martial arts instructor and teaches cardio kickboxing classes. A lot of people come to the school with weightloss as one of their goals. I take the kickboxing class and talk a lot with the people about their struggles and successes. Certain people certainly have the misconception that weight loss should always be consistently fast like that. But there is a whole other set of personalities that want the positive attention without making it seem like bragging. So they put themselves and their efforts in a negative light so people will praise them with positive responses. It is odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm in agreement with you though. I want recipes and that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I like Low Carb Friends too. The Atkins Diet Bulletin Board is also fantastic but they're very strict on adherence. For recipes I think Diet Doctor really shines among the newer sites. Edited March 10, 2017 by Arctic Mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'll check out Diet Doctor. I signed up for something Atkins related, but I couldn't figure out where the bulletin board was. Or is that not related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that not related? Not it. I went to go find it and it either shut down or moved. Bummer! I'll have to find the new location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 It said it was under construction or something like that. This was via the main Atkins site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
