Have discovered a new way to be an activist. I have joined this site and am posting various bits of subtle anti-diet propaganda. Yay! Feel free to join me. I am using my LJ username.
I'm not sure that's *too* bad a site - it seems to be about health, rather than slimming for slimming's sake. Its BMI calculator is a bit simplistic, though - it doesn't take into account muscle-tone, build or anything.
It's not the site so much as the people who are posting there. Idiots giving out rubbish advice. One of the things I replied to was a typical post about someone wanting to lose weight etc. etc. and the most authoritative sounding response they had got was from someone advising them to avoid carbohydrates and to instead eat "negative calorie" foods. It needs comments from people like me and trishpiglet to balance that kind of bullshit out.
While the site itself seems a reasonable enough place, with some sensible info for people looking to lose weight, a fair number of the posters in the discussion forum are in desperate need of the sort of advice that ajva and trishpiglet are administering there. Good work you two.
