One is the toasted flax seeds at Trader Joes. You'll find them near the
oatmeal (apologies to anyone not living in the States, but, you can
probably find them anywhere). Carbs too low to list separately (wish I
knew what they really were, though), it's all fiber, they taste great,
and, it's flax! Raw flax seeds are a chore to try to eat, but these taste
toasted, like sesame seeds, and they're brittle, so you can actually chew
them, unlike raw flax seeds. Maybe the toasting costs some enzymes or
something, but the omega 3s remain (they claim) and, they're an all-
around great snack food.

Thanks for the heads up. Will definitely look for them, get them, see if I
can incorporate them into my food life!

At Trader Joe's we get Barbecue Flavored Soy Crisps, California Walnut
Pieces, ... sometimes dark chocolate covered almonds, ... a few other things
I can't think of right now.

The Omega-3 in Flax is a precursor of DHA and EPA, the actual essential
omega-3s. Your body can convert the omega-3 in flax to DHA/EPA, but
it's not the greatest conversion rate. Better to cruise a little further
down the aisle at trader joe's to the vitamin and such space, and get the
Molecularly Distilled Omega-3 Fatty Acids dietary supplement. More direct.

But, ... for people looking for *good* snacks, that's not one. G

Have read some lit suggesting that ketones are
better brain fuel than glucose,

That sounds interesting. Could you please give me a reference?

Take care,

Certainly, if you've really

The Holy Spirit has planted HIS Bible in my heart and so HE lives in
my heart.

What happened to the "deep question"?

Perhaps it was the question about omer and its implications:

Deuteronomy 8:3

Well, in St. Andrew's words, "G-D has made me able to inform for that is HIS
purpose for me here." Thanks, but no, St. Andrew, nobody believes you any
more than they do the breatharians.

I was curious as to whether he knew anything about the Bible outside of what
he seems to think supports his personal theories. Looks like (a) the answer
is no, and (b) St. Andy's got his defense mechanism all setup. I'm not going
to feed him a serious question knowing that all I'll get back is crap. That
would not be respectful of The Book. It was bad thinking to propose that in
the first place.

Andy's "message" of "eat less" and "be hungry" are good ones. The clinical
work he did when he was sane (?) may actually be worth looking at.

Years ago, St. Andrew's original message made sense. It was more-or-less
this: "My studies show that obese people eat between six and ten pounds of
food a day. The way for them to lose weight is keep eating the same mixture
and ratios of food they're eating now, but cut the quantity down to 2 pounds
a day." You know what, to me, that made sense and had potential. He talked
about cutting down gradually. "Weigh all the food that you eat. Reduce the
quantity gradually until you're eating two pounds of food a day."

Too bad this guy's a nut case. If he would put his message forward in the
terms I described and back it up with his clinical work, things might be
different. Instead, he's become "G-d's messenger".

Not a saint but rather only a servant.

, "G-D has made me able to inform for that is HIS

Yes, GOD's purpose for me here remains to inform and not to be
glorified as a saint.

Thanks, but no, St. Andrew, nobody believes you any
more than they do the breatharians.

HIS purpose for me here remains to inform and not to convince.

The brethren of LORD Jesus Christ are called to be HIS uncovered lamps
providing the light of the truth for everyone in the room so that they
can find the way to GOD:

I was curious as to whether he knew anything about the Bible outside of what

In the Holy Spirit, the brethren of LORD Jesus Christ live the Bible
outside of its pages.

Looks like (a) the answer is no, and

You remind me of the blind man who would feign vision by describing
things to the seeing.

(b) St. Andy's got his defense mechanism all setup.

The Power from on High is the Holy Spirit and not a defense mechanism
though HE does keep Jesus' brethren from harm.

I'm not going
to feed him a serious question knowing that all I'll get back is crap.

Without the LORD, what you believe you know is meaningless
(Ecclesiastes).

That would not be respectful of The Book.

Solus Scriptura cum Spiritus Sancti.

It was bad thinking to propose that in the first place.

Not being in the perfect will of GOD is bad.

Andy's "message" of "eat less" and "be hungry" are good ones.

All praise and glory belong to GOD, because the Holy Spirit continues
to guide me in everything I say, do, and write.

The clinical
work he did when he was sane (?) may actually be worth looking at.

In my ever closer walk with LORD Jesus Christ, HE keeps me completely
well.

There is no insanity for those who walk with HIM because HE is the
Author of all reality including the alternate ones.

Instead, it is you, dear Mike, who are in danger of losing touch with
reality as did dearly departed Bob (this one) Pastorio:

It remains the same message:

http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/2PD-OMER

He talked
about cutting down gradually. "Weigh all the food that you eat. Reduce the
quantity gradually until you're eating two pounds of food a day."

This has not changed.

Only the name of the Approach has changed to fully glorify GOD, Who is
the Source of the knowledge about the omer.

Too bad this guy's a nut case.

Name-calling simply shows that you are lost:

No. Simply one of HIS many brethren.

The brethren of LORD Jesus Christ are neighbor perfect nor more
special...

.... we are simply forgiven by GOD:

May you wisely choose to be forgiven too by publicly declaring with
your mouth that "Jesus is LORD:"

Thanks, back. I'll have to look at those.

Also, I've just discovered pork rinds - yes, ew, except most brands are
so well done there's no hint it's pig skin.

Dr. Chung,

The issue is one of credibility. When I receive medication from a doctor,
for example, I expect that medication to have gone through some sort of
approval process (FDA), and that the doctor is prescribing that medication
based on common practice within the field, as well as her experience and
education. The same goes for any program of treatment. Atkins, Eades,
etc. -- they've done years and years of clinical trials, experimentation and
validation. The reason they are successful is because of all the work
they've done and their accomplishments. Have they dedicated their lives to
G-d? I have no idea. I do believe, however, that they have been put on this
earth for a purpose, and that they have fulfilled (or are fulfilling) that
purpose.

You have the potential to offer that; instead, you're pursuing the route of
a rusty knife faith healer. G-d has given you more than that! It takes time,
but you can establish your credibility if you choose to do so. If G-d put
you here for the purpose of creating this diet of yours and getting other
people to follow it, then He made you a doctor, He gave you the education,
He gave the experience, etc., that you need, to make a real go of this.

Think of it like this: there aren't too many people out there following your
diet, if any. You certainly aren't picking up any sort of following on
Usenet. If it is indeed your "mission" to inform and educate others, this
ain't working. Look at your options and consider another approach.

Just my 2pd.

Your Condemned Neighbor,

Mike

Actually, they have not.

Actually, their diets have been shown in RCTs to **not** help folks
achieve sustained weight loss. Commercial success arises from
marketing and can not be equivalenced with clinical efficacy. There
will not be any commercial success with the 2PD-OMER Approach which is
completely **FREE**.

However, there is clinical efficacy because the 2PD-OMER Approach has
invariably helped folks achieve sustained weight loss. We have seen
this for more than 625,550 folks followed worldwide for more than 5
years making it possible for the offering of an unprecedented million-
dollar guarantee whose details have been freely given and discussed in
sci.med.cardiology as archived in Google:

This guarantee remains in force.
