Any doctor who advises a patient to lose weight by dieting and exercising instead of eating less is suffering from the delusion that hunger is bad:] Don't mean to be argumentative, but doesn't dieting mean eating less? I don't get what you're trying to convey. All i know is that my doctor's advice and Dr. Oz's advice has taken my BMI from 33 to 26 and dropping, my waist size from 40 to 34, and my BP from 138/80 (pulse 84) to 115/66 (pulse 68). Can't wait to see my cholesterol levels. I was going to wait until my next scheduled physical in March 2008, but I'm just too excited - am scheduling blood work for next week. I would say that hunger is bad where malnutrition is concerned, especially when demonstrated in anorexia. Also it seems a foregone conclusion that even if a person eats 50 to 75% less junk food, there're still subsisting on junk food and robbing themselves nutritionally, to which I'm sure you'll agree. What I had to do personally, was to retrain my brain regarding food. Today I felt famished. But instead of filling myself up with a burger, fries and a soda etc, I felt famished for specific things, namely protein and carbs, as I'm putting all my extra energy into strength training and running. I satisfied that craving with some nice tilapia and whole wheat linguini with my own "pesto" sauce of basil, garlic and onion and a spinach side salad with balsamic vinegar and canola oil. I guess I've become a food snob when I come to think of it; I'll only eat the best stuff now. Try to get me to eat a cheeseburger these days, I'll turn my nose up at it. Didn't bother to weigh any of it, but I know it was considerably less food than I used to have to consume to feel satisfied. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast.

No. Dieting is changing what we are eating rather than simply eating less.

Ok. I've always interpreted dieting as eating less as well as switching to nutritional foods. I remember a comic strip I read years ago called Bloom County, where one character was blathering out various weight loss fads and gimmicks, and the other character kept replying "how about just eating less and exercising?" As for myself, my only motivation in eating these days is gaining nutritional benefit, so the rest pretty much takes care of itself. That's why I don't want to follow any type of written diet regimen too closely. I didn't follow any sort of detailed plan when it came to poor eating habits, so I want good eating habits to be just as matter of course. March 2007, 6' tall and 230 lbs. - November 2007, 193lbs. - by March 2008, 170 lbs. (15 lbs. of which will be mussel weight), after more than 20 years of weighing over 200 lbs. By my 46th birthday in late April 2008, 165 lbs. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 > (15 lbs. of which will be mussel weight) Oops, not much into shellfish. Although I'm sure eating mussels during strength training will help one gain extra muscle, I'll stick with tilapia and salmon. "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."

Those who are "selling" their respective commercial diets will deny the former. > I remember a comic strip I read years ago called Bloom County, where > one character was blathering out various weight loss fads and > gimmicks, and the other character kept replying "how about just eating > less and exercising?" Eating less, down to the optimal amount, is not possible for those who do not know how much they are eating... ... just as slowing down, down to the optimal speed, is not possible for those who have a broken speedometer. Bottom line: Telling someone to "eat less" is meaningless if you do not teach them to weigh their meals and teach them what is the optimal amount. > As for myself, my only motivation in eating these days is gaining > nutritional benefit, so the rest pretty much takes care of itself. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > and it will be given to him. > James 1:5 Yes, GOD is the Source of all wisdom and knowledge. HE also is the only One able to drive satan's lies about hunger out of our hearts. Once HE has done this, HE instructs us to be the "strong man" that guards his house (heart): http://HeartMDPhD.com/StrongMan Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed: http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/BeBlessed Prayerfully in the infinite power and might of the Holy Spirit, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

There's nothing new about this. My mom was weighing out servings per someone's plan as far back as the 70's. And yeah she'd slim down, and then put away the food scale after achieving "success". She was still obese most her life, and died of congestive heart failure at 79. She was a self described "foodaholic". Maybe if she had been trained how to think differently about eating, as I have, she might have had a chance. >> Telling someone to "eat less" is meaningless if you do not teach them >> to weigh their meals and teach them what is the optimal amount. > > There's nothing new about this. My mom was weighing out servings per > someone's plan as far back as the 70's. But she was probably also paying attention to things like the nutritional and caloric content of the food as well. And she probably used her common sense in figuring an appropriate serving weight based on her own body, goals, etc. This is unlike our Dr Chung who rigidly adheres to a one-weight-fits-all notion of food consumption and bases it on irrational "science" and bizarre interpretations of the bible. And on top of that, he 'convicts' those who disagree to eternity in a lake of fire. The ones whose criticism is especially trenchant (eg, yamatanka) are quickly promoted to satan status (who hiss their common sense through a corporeal sockpuppet). BTW congrats on your weight loss. I recently went from 220 to 165 and my health and sense of well being has improved immensely, so I know how you must feel. > But she was probably also paying attention to things like the nutritional > and caloric content of the food as well.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > sense in figuring an appropriate serving weight based on her own body, > goals, etc. Oh I'm sure, she was a very studious and meticulous person. But like most of us she was in love with food, and viewed food as a treat, a reward, a fix. I wish someone had come out with some block buster book on how to retrain your brain, rather than the usual eat less of this take more of that forced regimen going against basic ingrained instincts routine. > This is unlike our Dr Chung who rigidly adheres to a > one-weight-fits-all notion of food consumption and bases it on irrational > "science" and bizarre interpretations of the bible.

As far as I'm concerned a person can come up with any diet plan they want to. And they can base it on anything they want to. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if an MD came up with a diet/nutrition plan he said was given to him by extraterrestrials. I remember hearing a joke when I was a kid regarding a particular MD, that the MD stood for Marbles Dislodged. That's why we are always told to run things past our own doctor who is familiar with our personal medical history. Find out what he/she has to say about it. If it's all nonsense then that's what you doctor will tell you, even if the person who wrote it has several PhD's and won couple of Nobel Prizes. If your doctor says it's a practical plan, then it's practical despite what it's based on. If you want to make double sure, first consult your physician, then consult a nutritionist. Personally when I read someone posting nonsense then I just dump them. I don't care if they're an ordained minister, a board certified physician, an accredited this or a certified that. Nonsense is nonsense and doesn't deserve the attention it always receives on Usenet. > BTW congrats on your weight loss.

More than that, it reinforces the excuse mechanism. "I ate less, I never lost any weight." "How much less" "I quit having a bowl of ice cream before going to bed" "OK, how much less *in the whole month* did you eat?" "The same but no ice cream. "And the proof is "I GAVE UP ICE CREAM AND GAINED WEIGHT, THE DIET DOESN'T WORK". oh thx > Andrew, in the Holy Spirit, boldly wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > oh thx Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach... http://HeartMDPhD.com/EatLess ... to squelch all the excuses, thereby ending the U.S. obesity epidemic.
