How crazy has this low carb thing gotten! |
|
Okay i just saw a commercial for Bacardi rum. They were touting how their rum has no carbs! WTF? I'm sorry, but there is something very wrong with this whole notion! If people watching what they eat are going to justify drinking rum because it's low carb....Well... I'm living on the wrong planet!

3. That has to be false advertising |
|
every diet I ever heard of treated alcoholic beverages as carbs. They are absorbed as pure sugar in the system.

7. That's odd..I thought rum was made from sugar cane? |
|
I am all for booze diets... but I think this rum/low carb thing is being grossly misrepresented (lol)
For anyone who wants to get pissy about drinking or lack of sobriety -- that was primarily a joke about being all for booze diets.

14. I saw an ad for low carb milk to go with those |
|
low carb cookies or low carb cereal.
Fact is, people need to eat less. I'm relearning now. They need to relearn how to be satisfied on 1500-2500 calories per day (whatever their body type and activity level) instead of expecting to be able to eat mountains of low-fat, low-carb, artificially sweetened food all day.

a package of candy advertised as "No fat!"
No, it is filled with sugar and will rot your teeth, but it has "No Fat!" Does this mean it is good for you?
Just as ridiculous to me.

It's true, so there's no false advertisement there, but it's ridiculous.
Why not put "No Mange!" or "No ebola!" or "No broken glass!"
