2PD TWO POUND DIET IS ****! I GAINED 30 LBS ON IT!

I went on a 2 lbs diet in February 2002. Until July I gained 30 lbs
despite following the diet religiously. Now that I gave up that POS
diet and eat good food again, I lost 10 out that 30 lbs by just
counting calories. 2PD does not work!!!

Interesting. I have never heard of a 2 lbs diet.

Too bad. Post your weight gain by month and your food volumes by day
and let's take a look at how "religious" and self-defeating you really
are.

Now that I gave up that POS
diet and eat good food again,

Um any reason you purposefully sabotaged your health by eating crap on
the 2 lbs diet, whatever that is?

Yes, it takes An Ounce Of Common Sense and you are short by a slew of
grams.

I haven't tried this diet, but by nature of the volume of food you eat on
it, I have a hard time picturing such a large weight gain, unless you were
eating a pound of crisco or something, or you were underweight to begin
with, and this was increasing the amount of food you were eating.

Support yourself with some numbers and data, instead of a "blanket"
statement.

Why would you continue on a diet if you were gaining so much weight? I'd be
outa there once I'd put on 5 lbs. But you didn't figure it out until you'd
gained 30 lbs? I don't believe it.

An important clue is the poster's reference to "eat good food again." The 2PD
approach describes limiting food quantity w/o any reference to good or bad
food. Since the poster implies he has been eating "bad" food, that perhaps he
was actually doing the ketogenic LC diet (plenty of "bad" food there :-).

Who am I to argue Though even you indicated in your FAQ's

Perhaps the diet requires an ounce of common sense along with the 2 pounds
of food?

It does :-)

That alone suggests to me that you should be eating good food and not trying
to eat horrible food to loose weight.

Sure, if you're eating massive ammounts of horrible food, reducing the
volume is going to help. Though if you're eating a somewhat reasonable
diet, just with a volume that is too high - then switch over to eating 2 lbs
of junk a day... Common sense just seems to apply. Perhaps I also read
between the lines a bit...

My two cents

Not to open a can of worms ..

But what exactly is the 2PD Two Pound Diet??

Sounds like you were consuming 625 calories too many per day.
That would lead to 30 lb gain in 24 weeks, assuming you didn't
increase your exercise.
