> I'm glad it helped. I spent many years, when I was too sick to do much of anything else, reading, researching, and amassing information on a myriad of topics. Everyone responds according to their own physiology, and the same rules don't apply to everyone, so I try not to make generalizations or stick my opinion in if it's not wanted or needed.
But if I know (or know where to find) something that may help you, you're welcome to pick my brain anytime. :-)

Hi.
Maybe you didn't intend to, but this post/title to beardedlady rubbed me the wrong way. I don't remember anyone making generalizations or the topic being about sticking in your opinion if it's not needed or wanted. It seemed like you were making an "I" statement here about something that bothered you.I'm new here & my post was in the spirit of responding to the original poster who wanted to know what worked. I was not trying to convert anyone & was equivocal about the suggested plan (stating it had some drawbacks).
Also, I posted the comment about my experiences & asked beardedlady about hers in a general context. Afterwards, I realized that I'd missed one of her posts & that she was actively on the Zone. I wouldn't have even told her anything about my experiences, if I'd known she was--not only a believer in it--but newly trying it herself. I tried to post a follow up, but decided my post was understandable/non-judgemental enough (and besides I had to go).
I specifically didn't engage in a back in forth about the science or anything of a particular diet because I a)just posted a diet I thought would help the person, and b) when beardy was kind enough to volunteer assistance to me, asked told her about my experiences and asked her about hers.
I just think it was unfair of you to start a thing about inserting unwanted/unneeded opionions/generalizations when I don't feel anyone did so. I didn't follow.
