You cut your food intake in half to lose weight. What is so unusual about
that?

Who said it was unusual. I said I was surprised to see that I was eating at
a 4 pound per day clip and nearly as surprised that I could increase my
energy expenditures on less than 2 pounds per day.

You are probably right about a person's misconception about the amount
of food they require. Some may truly believe they are eating modestly when
in fact it would be obvious to anyone else that the amounts are far more
than the average person's intake. This person may say something like, "You
mean to tell me average people don't eat a 14" pizza?"

See it all the time.

The sin of gluttony is about excess in volumes not in cals; Christ
didn't
speak of ppls gluttony in terms of cals or carbs.

The scriptures were not written by God or Christ. Ordinary men wrote
these stories. Apparently during those times nobody really knew how much
a
pound was anyway.

The Scriptures were inspired by Christ and by His Life. And they most
certainly knew how to weigh things in units.

Differing locals had their own measurments. Each claiming
their measurement was the correct one. I would not expect them to know
what
a carb or a calorie was. It would just be obvious to them that the more
they
ate, the fatter they got.

Many knew, many didn't, most didn't care as it was a sign of wealth to be
able to be gluttonous.

And also rare for the average person. The middle class person today can
eat like a king every day.

If you are saying that Christ spoke of volumes of
food, then why isn't the diet based on 2 quarts rather than 2 pounds?

Mu:

Actually, if you read the website hint-hint, you will see it was based
on
2 kilos but Chung Americanized it to 2 pounds. Christ inspired the 2PDiet,
certainly He has, through it and other means, inspired my participation
and
the participation of others. Its very simplicity is a stroke of genius and
Chung ain't no genius.

I don't think it is fair to blame Christ for a diet that was invented by
a guy watching a movie.

The 2PDiet attacks the roots of obesity and one of these roots is a
miseducation in the amounts of food needed to live healthily.

Telling people to eat 2 lbs of food without taking other factors into
account would be miseducation.

No one has said the 2PDiet is all inclusive, mof Chung and I both have said
frequently it can be dovetailed with other WOE.

Success is never silly and fools are rarely successful. This comes down to
this. You either believe Chung and I or you don't. If you don't then we
are two of the biggest liars on Usenet.

If you truly believe your own claims, than you are not a liar. You
have simply been mislead. That is not your fault.

Sorry, I see the results of the 2PDiet every day, hear from ppl all the
time who have and continue to succeed on the 2PDiet. Chung's experiences
with it dwarf mine. Neither of us are misled and neither of us are lying.
If you believe that we are lying, then why are you discussing anything with
me?

Your the one that started it. You and Chung take over too many threads,
and then you include other newsgroups as well.

Sorta like your doing here in this Xpost you are actively supporting? What
has that got to do with the fact that either you don't believe me, and are
wasting both of our time, or you do believe me but want to argue for the
sake of argument?

If you want to endear people
to try your diet, you are going about it the wrong way. All this
crossposting and off topic discussions will not win over the people that
could care less about the content of these arguments.

And again you are incorrect as several ppl who may be reading this thread
right now are 2PDiet advocates. Usenet is a minor source for converts
anyway. Neither Chung nor I see Usenet as any great means to convince
anyone of anything.

And then you claim that I am trying to discuss something with you?

Well, wht is this thread? A fart?

If you don't want my negative(to you) replies, than stop answering posts
that have nothing to do with your diet. I have no interest in starting the
2lb diet and I don't know anyone else in any of the newsgroups you include.

And again you are incorrect as several ppl who may be reading this thread
right now are 2PDiet advocates.

Most of us are trying to find answers to sensible questions.

Most of you will never find them. what most of you are actually looking for
is approval not truth.

All you guys
are doing is twisting threads into another silly discussion about the 2lb
diet.

All you guys are doing is twisting threads into another silly discussion
about the Atkins diet.


You don't even realize that your sinking your own boat by continuing
in negative feedback discussions. Try googling for the 2lb diet and see how
many nice things people are saying about it.

Try reading the Bible and see where truth got Christ.

We're usually the ones that are blamed by other newsgroups because we
answer back seemingly without consideration for other's wasted time and
bandwidth.

This actually concerns you?

Why don't you start your own newsgroup?

And add yet another Xpost? I thought you didn't want additional Xposting?

I promise we'll come
around once in a while for a visit, because I'm sure that there will be few
participants to keep you company.

If you like, you can set one up for us. I promise we'll come around once in
a while for a visit, because I'm sure that there will be few participants
to keep *you* company.
