Nobody meant to offend you, they just disagreed with your method is all. Like if I made a thread about how I want to adopt a puppy from my neighbor and everybody told me to go to Petco instead. They don't do it to insult me, they're just trying to give me advice and share information with each other about the puppy adoption process. Except for one person who told me it was a really stupid idea because I don't know, maybe my neighbor produces terrible puppies or something, but even that guy is trying to help, he just wasn't very tactful about it (and was given a warning because we don't like rudeness!). As I'm sure you've discovered, everyone has their own ideas about the best way to diet in any given situation.

While it's never something I would try, I'm glad the fasting did work out for you.
