<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1569747, member: 31533&quot;]I&#039;ll stick up for detecto on this one. There&#039;s no reason for him to get his stomach stapled that I know of. That is a drastic decision, and not one to be taken lightly. I&#039;m glad he has lost weight, and I agree that while not optimal, a young person who weighs between 220 and 250 or so can do a full day&#039;s work like he has done before. My concern is not him losing weight, but the choices he has chosen in doing so. He doesn&#039;t fully understand the ramifications of a diet like this. He thinks carbs are unneccessary devils just designed to create fat stores in people&#039;s bodys. That is untrue. Carbs are there to provide the energy people need to do things. Without carbs of some sort or another that energy store is not there. It&#039;s like being a drained battery of a person. The truth also is that anytime you over fill a system, it either has to overflow or it has to get stored. The human body can&#039;t deplete the extras, so it stores them. That can be good in times of scarcity and can actually help people survive. It&#039;s part of the reason that people can go a long time without food, but little time without water.&nbsp; But detecto, you are losing weight at the expense of your body. Based on your diet, I don&#039;t see that you (especially in winter in the mid-west) will get enough vitamin d, for example. Your body can make it by going outside in sunshine 10-15 minutes a day, but I doubt you do. That&#039;s only one, but this one is one that perhaps is a necessary one to have good myelin structures in the brain. There are diseases that people are speculating are created partially by the loss of the myelin sheath, and cannot pass vital stuff over the gap --- things like vitamin D. I don&#039;t have the full story on that but it&#039;s really suspected by scientists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, glad you like the old coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
