This is an invitation to anyone who would like to join
alt.support.diet.low-calorie - I've started another 100 Day Diet and
am posting on alt-support.diet.low-calorie. Seems to be going quite
well and I sure intend to keep posting through May and maybe
(hopefully) longer.

If anyone else wants to share their successes or questions about
losing weight through low-calorie methods, I'd be delighted to see
them there!

Yours,

Please tell us what has been your average daily calorie intake in the
last week. Thanks.

Please don't. If you want to really know, Google his posts from past
years. It's always the same and some of us are sick and tired of the
BS.

SFRunner -- May I suggest you use your block sender button if you
don't like my posts?

This "some of us are sick and tired" sounds quite childish and makes
use of a logical fallacy called "the band wagon effect."

Seems to me that some people are very, very quick to criticize
others.

Caleb - ISTR that it was you who started asd.low-calorie for the very
reason that people here were not able to relate to your approach to
dieting and weight loss.

Surely then it's not unreasonable to expect you to restrict your
postings to that group if you want to continue repeating your 100 day
regime.

I agree, janice.

Caleb,
I always tried to be civil in my replies to you. But I find it very hard to
understand why someone would want to continue on the yo-yo diet path as long
as you have. You may contend that it's healthier than remaining overweight
but I'll suggest that it's healthier to work to maintain that weight loss.

Isn't your weight at the beginning of this cycle higher than it was in
previous attempts? IIRC your previous highs were in the 240 range and I
believe it's 265 this time. You indicate your goal weight is 200. If
that's correct then you're trying to lose 65 pounds in 100 days and that
isn't considered a healthy weightloss rate. Your previous choice of food
during your 100 days wasn't real healthy either. I seem to recall it
contained a lot of tuna or sardines and cabbage soup. A few of the
exercises you chose weren't considered exactly safe. I'm referring to
carrying and swinging weights while walking.

You're a well educated man but you fail to see the problems associated with
your diet choices. As many others in the group have suggested you might
want to use the group you setup for this type of dieting as it's not well
received in this type of group. In the past you preached your diet to many
who were just starting their weightloss journey and were eager to grab onto
anything that would allow rapid weight loss instead of choosing a method
that would allow them to lose at a sensible rate and have a much better
chance of maintaining their weightloss. There are many health risks
associated with a rapid weightloss. You might want to consider these risks
against your yo-yo diet plan.
