I have mixed feelings about this thread.
I appreciate the fact that a debate helps but on the other hand this is not philosophical debate. It's about something that affect us the participants very directly.
I love the welcoming and affective community that I encountered here, it has helped me a lot. I do not wander on the other subforums enough, so I mean mainly in the NSD subforum. So to see posts in my point of view very aggressive towards what has helped others, and directly towards valuable members of the community, well, it makes me angry, I might not react to it in an angry manner but I surely feel it.
Friedrich Nietzsche showed us that humans first will something, then construct arguments to defend it. Seems to me that the NSD is so restrictive to some that they wished it was not helpful.
I was thinking of suicide before I adopted the NSD. I can tell you now that even tho some days I wished I could eat some carbs right of a plastic package, I love my almost pain-free (no pills) life and my healthier every day body.
I eat plenty of fiber, and lately not as much protein as when I started. The risks some mention about lack of fiber and abundance of protein is more pretext IMO, the diet is starch-free no Full-Protein-No-Fiber-At-All.
The diet works. If its not working for you, keep at it, tweak it, embrace leafy greens, you will love them later.
Sorry if I offend anyone.
