The two pound diet is trash science in its truth claims. You may at
leasure provide scientific proposed information to the contrary of
course, at which point real scientific discussion can begin.

Please be patient with me and this question. On insulin 50 years now
and recently have lost a lot of weight due to an illness not connected
to diabetes. There is one thing that I just don't understand after all
these years and for that I apologise. What actually puts weight on
more quickly. Is it an increase in carbs or and increase in calories.

When caloric intake exceeds caloric burn-off, you will have the tendency
to gain weight. Carbs, proteins and fats, the three "things with
calories that make up food molecularly all have calories in their
foodstuffs but in differing ratios fat = 9cal/gram, protein and carbs =
4 cals/gram (roughly for all)

Or should I take an increase in carbs that include higher calories.
Sorry guys, this old head can't get around this at all.

Tom

If you want to add weight most quickly, you would eat from the fat
groups of food in the list above since they are the most calorically
dense.


Thanks to Andrew, true@isbetter and Mu for your replies. These are
really helpful to me as I've been trying for a while now to gain
weight but it's not been possible so far.

When the illness began 2 years ago my carb intake reduced from about
300 to only 75 grams a day with a subsequent large drop in insulin.
That lasted for about 7 months.

Thankfully, through great care at my hospital the illness is under
control now and not causing any problems with the diabetes and the
hospital has slowly increased my insulin and carb intake. I'm pleased
to say that I am now eating between 190 and 220 grams a day.

I keep expecting and hoping to see my weight increase but not one
ounce has been gained. The hospital say they are not at all worried
and that it will all take time but I hate looking like a stick-insect.
That was why I wondered if I still ate 220 grams carboydrate but
higher in calories it may help. Not quite understanding the difference
didn't help, but your explantions have!

Mu, I'll be checking your link tomorrow.

Again, thank you all very much

Kind regards,

Tom

The only educational problem you have is a lack of education.

Sorry for your anxieties, months in the hospital, ill feeling, looking
like a preying mantis (I'll bet that one keeps the horny nurses at bay
lol), this is no fun, none at all,

I dropped to 128 from a normal weight of 160ish (muscle enhanced state).
let' just say that desert heat, insufficient supplies of food and a
malformed from birth pooper don't mix into an upwardly enhancing set of
circumstances for obesity.

Controlling your carbs may be key to controlling you illness, but the
world is justly filled with foods with unsaturated fats and proteins.

Eat Well And Live To Spend it.

Oh, after 50 years on insulin and no complications I think I've done
OK. I had to use my education too )

I'm over 70, Mu. I think THAT would probably have kept the nurses at
bay.

It's been 8 months since I began the 2PD-Omer and today I weigh just
112 lbs.

Admittedly, I did pig out at Christmas and then just last Easter,
however, I get back on to weighing my food asap.

As a sensible person, I eat nutricious food daily, in fact, the same
foods I used to eat before starting this food regimen, just smaller
quantities. I never go hungry, although as I don't eat often after
dinner (about 6.30pm), I sometimes feel peckish on going to bed, which
a cup of organic cocoa helps me fall off to sleep easily.

I notice that there are a lot of skeptic ppl who post on this ng
riduculing the 2PD-Omer, and I wonder if the 'put downs' are written
because these ppl find it difficult to eat less and so try to dissuade
others who are searching for a genuine answer to their obesity, from
actually using the 2PD-Omer approach.

I'd like to thank Dr Chung for this wonderful new way of eating, which
has given me back my health, a youthful glow (even though I'm an
oldie), more spirit in my step, and especially fitting into all those
cute clothes in the shops!

Your testimony is most welcome :-)

Would redirect all your thanks, your praise, and the glory to GOD so
that we will both be that much more blessed by our LORD, Who is the
Source of all blessings.

May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water so that we
can love our neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ infinitely
more, dear sister Ros whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,

Here's how to do it:

Your body tells you that your food has high nutritious value by your
hunger.

When the two pound diet works for a given individual it means simply
that those two pounds of foods they chose were by accident fewer
calories then needed to maintain a higher weight for a given height and
activity level. All diet approaches that work use this principle,
consume fewer caloories and in time one will lose weight.

Sadly, for others of different heights and activity levels that same two
pounds will cause weight gain because it contains more calories then
required to maintain current weight.

The two pound diet is trash science and cures no chronic metabolic
disorder.

Lively discussion.

I think the best diet is the one that makes you lose weight AND
improve your health.
A healthier person is a happier person. No cholestrol, heart,
kidney,weight etc ..... problems
to worry about.

I have lost 12 kg in the last 1 n 1/2 year, finally.... My total
blood cholesterol went from 6.17 mMol/L (240 mg/dl) to 5.1 mMol/L
(199 mg/dl) in one year. My triglycerides is a healthy 0.60 mMol/L
(23.4mg/dl). My blood pressure from 151/89 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg.
I am now Asian BMI 19. ( which you know measures a lighter body mass
for a given height, due to our Asian smaller bone structure).

I did not go just low carb, I added lots of fibre and low fat protein,
and enjoy the good life. I discovered the "secrets" of highly
metabolic people.

It is too much to discuss in this post, but if anyone is interested in
my arguments and reasonings, hop over to my website.
