I dunno why we're always pretending that nobody wears, or can wear, jeans or chinos in Western countries during the summers, many days of which are often just as hot as Thailand. Often heard as an excuse why one simply MUST wear shorts to the air-conditioned Immigration office. Because summers there can also be quite hot, all the manufacturers offer lighter weight jeans for purchase, and they are commonly worn in the summer, NOT just in the cooler seasons. No need for any nonsensical special "adaptation" to Thailand. And people's nuts cope just as well here as they cope in Western countries during the summers. Why not?

Unfortunately you’ve proven yourself incapable of doing so. You've been doing some backpedaling here but only to misdirect and obfuscate. You were asked for the exact quotation from the thread where anyone has stated or even implied such a myth. You’re unable to find one, because it doesn’t exist. So you just made up that myth to hijack the topic merely because you don’t like any mention of low carb. <SNIP! Further fallacious regurgitated straw man “arguments”--no low carber claims that low carb is the only way to lose weight, an obvious absurdity> The opposite, of course. Constantly attacking low carb is not helpful in the least. Now of course you could end that silly vendetta. Some find low carb helpful if it’s OCCASIONALLY brought up by the small minority of low carbers here. Most have tried and failed to follow other strategies. And they and everyone else already know the other strategies, nothing new in your own constant harping. Starve 'n' Sweat, Whole Foods, and Push Away From The Table are right up there on the TVF Scroll Of Known Truths along with Chinese Don't Spend, Women Only Want Money, and TAT Tells Porkies. Low carb has always been Whole Foods, BTW, long before the Whole Foods fad started. We don't dare call it a fad, however.???? The fad isn't quite so simple, unfortunately. Moving to lower and slower carbs will certainly help, but maybe not as much as one might hope. And you can google for countless testimonials that Whole Foods didn't work. The Known Truths are merely derived from the countless hack diet & fitness sites saturating the internet with their plans, consultations, supplements, equipment, memberships, apps, subscriptions, and mostly dreams. Fantastic repeat business model (as you know quite well) basking in the vast financial resources of the food, pharma, vegan, and climate change industries responsible for so much funding of biased medical studies and misguided public policy. Inevitably, they all hate low carb.???? We’ve in fact had some notable success stories from members who’d heard about low carb on the forum. Low carb info is comparatively hard to find otherwise amid all the noise generated by the above industries and even here on our lowly forum what with wannabe bodybuilders blowing smoke. Excluding of course the intellectually honest @tropo, a low carber himself with whose low carb you hypocritically have no problem whatsoever. ???? I miss him. Come to think of it, I don’t recall any posters who were converted to starve ‘n’ sweat etc. with subsequent success--after learning about it here. Even wannabe lifters soon disappeared after wasting money on equipment. Being fit and healthy is ridiculously simple, but no one can make a living out of telling people how simple it is, so most people never find out. —P. D. Mangan So, contrary to your hopes, interested members here needn’t and shouldn’t be deprived of mentioning, or learning about, a long-established, well-researched, now mainstream and proven successful dieting/lifestyle strategy merely because of @robblok ‘s little hobbyhorse hostility. In fact, the low carb message seems to be gathering momentum even here. That’s obviously distressing, but just gon’ have to suck it up. My point now proven (thank you), and having wasted enough time, I’ll bow out and you may continue arguing with yourself and hijacking the topic.

Begs the question. Consider the implication of this: if you don't eat, then there's nothing to convert. Oh--you did consider that.???? The TVF Fatalistic Principle to avoid acting on matters of health and fitness except to visit docs. Related to the shrewd die early to avoid a longer period in the bedsit advice. Misses the point of attempting to slow the process of degradation and so compress morbidity. And in fact some diets do typically have better effects on the lipids panel. Few know this or pay attention, and indeed you have only an "opinion" based on your experiment of one unsupported by the numbers. P_i_ssin' the wind. Our members have long determined that health is derived from meds, docs, and hospitals. Not long ago there was an amusing example of a poster congratulating himself on his "healthy" blood pressure for his age. Turned out it was owing to one of a list of meds he was taking, and in fact he has a somewhat alarming TG/HDL ratio. Guess he's in search of another med for that. So the goal has to be "lose fat," specifically belly fat.???? Everyone knows the conventional methods, and most of the overweight have already tried them and given up. So here we are going round and round.

Merely continuing to spread the myth about the myth while throwing in some gratuitous demonization of low carb people. Counterproductive and a usual attempt to derail the topic. Try for once to stick to the topic. Focus. Think. Did @wn2c or anyone else in this topic state or even imply any such myth? Quote the exact words that triggered your own mythologizing.

But @wn2c didn’t imply one couldn’t be lean “on carbs,” whatever that means. He merely speculated that, based on the sample menu, @Moonlover probably isn’t, other things equal. If he is, he can of course say so with some informative, inspiring context. Crickets. Nothing to do with you at all, really. Accordingly, what must first die is the stupid myth that a stupid myth exists that carbs are bad per definition. Then it can’t be used in stupid straw man arguments.

Sounds like a variant of this browser hijacker.

Remove anything suspicious in Add/Remove Programs. Run msinfo32.exe and stop any suspicious programs from Startup. Look in the Task Scheduler and see if any bad guy is scheduled to start.
