For those interested in trying to adhere to a 100-day-low calorie
approach (to end the midnight of the Tuesday before next
Thanksgiving), the starting line is this Sunday at midnight, August
17.

After this deadline, if you are interested in adhering to such an
approach, it will require low enough calories for long enough to make
a helpful impact on your life.

As a recent bit of research found "Short-term dieting success can help
people control diabetes for years--even if they regain all the lost
weight, a new study suggests."  This study found that even if people
reversed their weight loss after only 18 months, those who would
manage to take weight off were much likely to get Type 2 diabetes.
So does short-term weight loss help?  If we are concerned about type 2
diabetes, it sure appears to be the case.  And even short-term weight
loss will help prevent risks due to high blood pressure, etc.

So, if you're interested in trudging on for 100 days and the arriving
at this upcoming Thanksgiving celebration much healthier than you are
now, why not think about joining in with me?

Yours,

Caleb
