My old habit was to buy Ben & Jerry or Haagen Daz ice cream pints
whenever on sale and would buy 20 to 30 pints filling up the freezer
and would eat at least a pint per day. That has to stop now that I see
that my heart is threatened by overweight. I will get back to 137 lbs
or 62 kg and remain there for the remainder of my life.

I am glad to have encountered this problem for I can see that the only
effective diet is Fasting where you can lose 3 lbs per day if you
combine Fasting with strenous exercise such as running and doing
pushups and situps. I am on a semi-Fast at the moment and am losing 2
lbs per day. By semi-Fast I still eat oranges and a salad per day and
to eat up food that will spoil if kept too long in the refrigerator. I
still have some cheesecakes to get rid of as I used to eat about 2
slices per day.

But I learned also in this experience that the worst foods are those
that contain fat and oil. I say this because there is a direct
correlation between food weight eaten and body weight increase. If you
eat, more like it drink, a lb of oil, that lb will stay in your body
and increase your weight by 1 lb. But if you eat a lb of oranges which
is mostly water, then your body weight will increase only a mere
microgram because the body gets rid of the water. So the worst foods
are those rich in fats and oils because they gram per gram add body
weight.

That means for me almost an end to eating ice cream, chocolates
(sugars are almost as bad as oils), cookies, cakes, pies. Not a
complete end but something like say 1 ice cream bar per 2 days. Or one
pint of Haagen Daz per week. Or one candy bar per week.

Which is great on grocery bills because I now will buy 1/10 of what I
used to buy. And can sail through the aisles instead of spending alot
of time grocery buying.

I repeat my conclusions: If a person wants to lose weight and is
unable to Fast for 2 days in a row or more, then that person has 2
choices-- stay fat the rest of their life or have gut surgery. IF a
person cannot Fast then there is absolutely no diet method that will
work and that Pritikin, Atkens, and the thousands of touted diets are
mostly a joke and a sham to pick you pockets of money.

And I am saddened that the govt. agencies of NIH or Health and Human
Services simply does not tell it to the people of the USA like it
should be told. Fasting is the only effective diet and all other diets
are money ponzi schemes to pick your pocket of money.
