And I also agree (and have said multiple times - enough that I believe I shouldn't have to repeatedly do so) that what works for one will not as easily work for all - or even most!!! I stand by my belief that extreme diets are not good long-term, but respect others that choose to follow a diet which makes them feel as good and as healthy as they can. Moderation and variety are what work for me, also.
I enjoy a good debate myself, but am growing weary of defending my practice - not just in this thread, but in SEVERAL others.

I find that debates take place at different levels - at one level is the spirit of enquiry and a healthy scientific attitude, at another level are rigidly held beliefs, and there are of course various other levels in between these two. Sometimes debates become just one sided
I am reminded of my two friends belonging to two different religions. One friend fervently tries to convince me that I will burn in eternal fire in the life hereafter if I don't accept his lord and convert to his religion
And then there is the other one who harps on consequences that might occur more 'here' than 'hereafter' if I do not choose to accept his religion. He dreams of the golden dawn when the 'holy war' will have decapitated all those who remain adamant 'non-believers'. I may fail in that golden dawn to find my head in its usual place
. I do not debate with these two friends - the 'debate' remains one sided
Regards,
Rad
