Jeff Engels - 28 Oct 2003 16:26 GMT 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!!!
Mars at the Mu_n's Edge - 28 Oct 2003 17:16 GMT >I went on a 2 lbs diet in February 2002. Interesting. I have never heard of a 2 lbs diet.
> Until July I gained 30 lbs >despite following the diet religiously. 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?
>I lost 10 out that 30 lbs by just >counting calories. 2PD does not work!!! 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.

Now that I gave up that POS [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Support yourself with some numbers and data, instead of a "blanket" > statement. 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 :-).

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 :)

Don't forget we are talking about Planet Chung here. On Planet Chung all things Chung says are true because he has been "blessed with the gift of truth discernment" (quote from Chung... you can google it).

He didn't actually say those things, they were usually in big letters next to the bad guys when he hit them. But I think of Batman when I see POW.
Both c and Bob P. have their strong points, but neither is too clear on this diet of mine. It's so simple that even they should get it.
You may eat two pounds of food per day if you want to lose weight. Period. I've said it and said it until my little but surprisingly limber 5'3" frame trembles. I mean, what's so hard about that?
Sometimes I just want to scream and throw my feather boa across the room. Mu is allergic to feathers, so I can't wear it when he drops by.

FYI Note: I am aware that I am responding to a cross-posted message. Because the author of the message to which I am responding did not request that the header be trimmed, I have not trimmed it. If you are upset about reading this message, a few suggestions:
(1) Yell at Steve (2) Report Steve to his ISP (3) Killfile this thread. (4) Killfile me. (5) Read about free speech.
This discussion(s) is related to the 2 pound diet approach (2PD) which is described completely at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp
Though Dr. Chung invented this approach, he did not initiate this Usenet discussion(s). His participation in this discussion(s) has been voluntary and has been conducted in the spirit of community service. His motivation has been entirely altruistic and has arisen from his religious beliefs as a Christian. Jesus freely gave of Himself to better the health of folks He touched:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp
From the outset, it has been clear that there are those who are vehemently opposed to the 2 pound diet approach. They have debated Dr. Chung on every perceived weakness of the 2 pound diet approach and have lost the argument soundly at every point:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtlossfaqs.asp
These debates are archived on Google in their entirety within this and other discussion threads.
However, instead of conceding gracefully that they've lost the argument(s), certain parties have redirected their hatred of the 2 pound diet approach toward its author. The rationale appears to be "if you can not discredit the message then try to discredit the messenger."
Initially, these folks accused the messenger of "trolling." A "troll" is someone who posts under the cloak of anonymity messages with no redeeming discussion value and with the sole purpose of starting "flame" wars.
These hateful folks lost credibility with this accusation when the following observations were made:
(1) Dr. Chung has not been posting anonymously. (2) The 2PD has been on-topic for the Usenet discussion groups hosting the discussion(s). (a) Those who are failing low-carbing can dovetail LC with the 2PD to achieve near-ideal weight. (b) Obese diabetics improve their blood glucose control when their weight becomes near-ideal. (c) For (b) see: http://tinyurl.com/levc (3) Dr. Chung did not start the discussion(s). (4) The 2 pound diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive). (5) Dr. Chung's credentials are real and easily verified on-line (including jpegs of the actual diplomas).
Full of hatred, frustration, and desperation, certain individuals have tried to attack Dr. Chung's credentials knowing full well that they were attempting to libel him. One notable example is Mr. Pastorio:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp
When the full light was cast on Mr. Pastorio's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the darkness of anonymity only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.
Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp
where Dr. Chung's credentials can be verified many times over and libelous claims that credentials were bought are easily and summarily debunked.
Moreover, readers need only make the following observations concerning the anon posters who continue to hiss (ie Steve, JC Der Koenig and Mack):
(1) They are anonymous and thus they expect to have no credibility (or accountability). (2) They are by their Usenet history courtesy of Google, unsavory characters. (3) They have not added anything to the discussion(s) except to deliver one-sided insults. (4) They complain about alleged cross-posts from Dr. Chung by cross-posting. (5) They do not complain about cross-posts from folks who attack the 2PD or its author.
and conclude that these anon posters deserve only their kill file.
It is my hope that the above brings new readers of this thread up to speed.
It will remain my pleasure to participate here on Usenet above the din of hissing from the peanut gallery.

This discussion(s) is related to the Two Foot Diet approach (2FD) which I developed as a replacement for Dr. Chung's Amazing Logic Defying Two Pound Diet to avoid having to carry a scale around.
In 2003, my wife and I watched an IMAX film about climbing the Bavarian Alps and learned that despite their exhausting regimen, the climbers consumed only 10 packages of wieners per week. That's less than 2 feet of wieners per day! Since none of the climbers died from starvation, I think it is safe to assume that 2 feet of food per day should be more than adequate for us non-climbing folks.
So I started a little experiment with the agreeable obese friends in my neighborhood. I gave them ordinary 6 inch rulers with instructions to measure the length of everything substantial that passed into their mouths. The only things exempted were water and sugar-free drinks. What I learned was that my obese friends were consuming between 8 to 12 feet of food per day! At the time, I was about 10 lbs. over my ideal body weight so I decided to find out how much I was eating per day... 3 feet. I cut back to less than 2 feet and was at my proper weight in one month.
My friends have responded similarly except they have taken longer because of having to lose more weight. Admittedly, some of my obese friends were especially slow to respond. They also happen to be the ones with an unfortunate propensity for accidentally loosing their 6 inch rulers and taking weeks to buy replacements.
So here's the deal: measure all the food you eat, using it's longest dimension, and keep the total length to less than two feet per day. That's all there is. No scales, no counting calories or carbohydrates. Heck, if you loose your ruler, you can even use the first joint of your thumb to measure.
I am making this diet available as a public service and without compensation.
If you have any questions, just see Dr. Chung's helpful FAQ and substitute "Two Feet" for "Two Pounds" everywhere... what could be simpler?

FYI Note: I am aware that I am responding to a cross-posted message. Because the author of the message to which I am responding did not request that the header be trimmed, I have not trimmed it. If you are upset about reading this message, a few suggestions:
(1) Yell at Chung (2) Report Chung to his ISP (3) Killfile this thread. (4) Killfile me. (5) Read about free speech.
This discussion(s) is related to the Two Foot Diet approach (2FD) which I developed as a replacement for Dr. Chung's Amazing Logic Defying Two Pound Diet to avoid having to carry a scale around.
In 2003, my wife and I watched an IMAX film about climbing the Bavarian Alps and learned that despite their exhausting regimen, the climbers consumed only 10 packages of wieners per week. That's less than 2 feet of wieners per day! Since none of the climbers died from starvation, I think it is safe to assume that 2 feet of food per day should be more than adequate for us non-climbing folks.
So I started a little experiment with the agreeable obese friends in my neighborhood. I gave them ordinary 6 inch rulers with instructions to measure the length of everything substantial that passed into their mouths. The only things exempted were water and sugar-free drinks. What I learned was that my obese friends were consuming between 8 to 12 feet of food per day! At the time, I was about 10 lbs. over my ideal body weight so I decided to find out how much I was eating per day... 3 feet. I cut back to less than 2 feet and was at my proper weight in one month.
My friends have responded similarly except they have taken longer because of having to lose more weight. Admittedly, some of my obese friends were especially slow to respond. They also happen to be the ones with an unfortunate propensity for accidentally loosing their 6 inch rulers and taking weeks to buy replacements.
So here's the deal: measure all the food you eat, using it's longest dimension, and keep the total length to less than two feet per day. That's all there is. No scales, no counting calories or carbohydrates. Heck, if you loose your ruler, you can even use the first joint of your thumb to measure.
I am making this diet available as a public service and without compensation.
If you have any questions, just see Dr. Chung's helpful FAQ and substitute "Two Feet" for "Two Pounds" everywhere... what could be simpler?
Though Steve invented this approach, he did not initiate this Usenet discussion(s). His participation in this discussion(s) has been voluntary and has been conducted in the spirit of community service. His motivation has been entirely altruistic and has arisen from his religious beliefs as a Christian. Jesus freely gave of Himself to better the health of folks He touched:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/hypocrite.asp
From the outset, it has been clear that there are those who are vehemently opposed to the 2 foot diet approach. They have debated Steve on every perceived weakness of the 2 foot diet approach and have lost the argument soundly at every point:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtlossfaqs.asp ... just substitute "Foot" for "Pound" everywhere.
These debates are archived on Google in their entirety within this and other discussion threads.
However, instead of conceding gracefully that they've lost the argument(s), certain parties have redirected their hatred of the 2 foot diet approach toward its author. The rationale appears to be "if you can not discredit the message then try to discredit the messenger."
Initially, these folks accused the messenger of "trolling." A "troll" is someone who posts under the cloak of anonymity messages with no redeeming discussion value and with the sole purpose of starting "flame" wars.
These hateful folks lost credibility with this accusation when the following observations were made:
(1) Steve has not been posting anonymously.
(2) The 2FD has been on-topic for the Usenet discussion groups hosting the discussion(s). (a) Those who are failing low-carbing can dovetail LC with the 2FD to achieve near-ideal weight. (b) Obese diabetics improve their blood glucose control when their weight becomes near-ideal.
(c) For (b) see: http://tinyurl.com/moreChungbullshit
(3) Steve did not start the discussion(s).
(4) The 2 foot diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive).
Full of hatred, frustration, and desperation, certain individuals have tried to attack Steve's credentials knowing full well that they were attempting to libel him. One notable example is Dr. Chung who is jealous that Steve has improved on his diet.
When the full light was cast on Dr. Chung's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the darkness of anonymity, most notably Mu, only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.
Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/sign_up_to_be_a_patient.asp
Moreover, readers need only make the following observations concerning the anon posters who continue to hiss, most notably Mu:
(1) They are anonymous and thus expect to have no credibility (or accountability).
(2) They are by their Usenet history courtesy of Google, unsavory characters.
(3) They have not added anything to the discussion(s) except to deliver one-sided insults.
(4) They complain about alleged cross-posts from Steve by cross- posting.
(5) They do not complain about cross-posts from folks who attack the 2FD or its author.
and conclude that these anon posters deserve only their kill file. Unfortunately, they keep Mu_Tating so that it is impossible to killfile them.

As a Public Service I would like to introduce the Two Foot Diet.
Many of you have been tempted to try Dr. Chung's Amazing Weight Defying Two Pound Diet but the idea of carrying a scale around has scared you off... that's why I have developed the Two Foot Diet!

(1) Yell at TC (2) Report TC to his ISP for violating their TOS with his libel and defamation. (3) Killfile this thread. (4) Killfile me. (5) Read about free speech.
This discussion(s) is related to the 2 pound diet approach (2PD) which is described completely at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp
Though Dr. Chung invented this approach, he did not initiate this Usenet discussion(s). His participation in this discussion(s) has been voluntary and has been conducted in the spirit of community service. His motivation has been entirely altruistic and has arisen from his religious beliefs as a Christian. Jesus freely gave of Himself to better the health of folks He touched:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp
From the outset, it has been clear that there are those who are vehemently opposed to the 2 pound diet approach. They have debated Dr. Chung on every perceived weakness of the 2 pound diet approach and have lost the argument soundly at every point:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtlossfaqs.asp
These debates are archived on Google in their entirety within this and other discussion threads.
However, instead of conceding gracefully that they've lost the argument(s), certain parties have redirected their hatred of the 2 pound diet approach toward its author. The rationale appears to be "if you can not discredit the message then try to discredit the messenger."
Initially, these folks accused the messenger of "trolling." A "troll" is someone who posts under the cloak of anonymity messages with no redeeming discussion value and with the sole purpose of starting "flame" wars.
These hateful folks lost credibility with this accusation when the following observations were made:
(1) Dr. Chung has not been posting anonymously. (2) The 2PD has been on-topic for the Usenet discussion groups hosting the discussion(s). (a) Those who are failing low-carbing can dovetail LC with the 2PD to achieve near-ideal weight. (b) Obese diabetics improve their blood glucose control when their weight becomes near-ideal. (c) For (b) see: http://tinyurl.com/levc (3) Dr. Chung did not start the discussion(s). (4) The 2 pound diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive). (5) Dr. Chung's credentials are real and easily verified on-line (including jpegs of the actual diplomas).
Full of hatred, frustration, and desperation, certain individuals have tried to attack Dr. Chung's credentials knowing full well that they were attempting to libel him. One notable example is Mr. Pastorio:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp
When the full light was cast on Mr. Pastorio's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the darkness of anonymity only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.
Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp
where Dr. Chung's credentials can be verified many times over and libelous claims that credentials were bought are easily and summarily debunked.
Moreover, readers need only make the following observations concerning the anon posters who continue to hiss (ie JC Der Koenig and Mack):
(1) They are anonymous and thus they expect to have no credibility (or accountability). (2) They are by their Usenet history courtesy of Google, unsavory characters. (3) They have not added anything to the discussion(s) except to deliver one-sided insults. (4) They complain about alleged cross-posts from Dr. Chung by cross-posting. (5) They do not complain about cross-posts from folks who attack the 2PD or its author.
and conclude that these anon posters deserve only their kill file.
It is my hope that the above brings new readers of this thread up to speed.
It will remain my pleasure to participate here on Usenet above the din of hissing from the peanut gallery.

This discussion(s) is related to the Two Foot Diet approach (2FD) which I developed as a replacement for Dr. Chung's Amazing Logic Defying Two Pound Diet to avoid having to carry a scale around.
In 2003, my wife and I watched an IMAX film about climbing the Bavarian Alps and learned that despite their exhausting regimen, the climbers consumed only 10 packages of wieners per week. That's less than 2 feet of wieners per day! Since none of the climbers died from starvation, I think it is safe to assume that 2 feet of food per day should be more than adequate for us non-climbing folks.
So I started a little experiment with the agreeable obese friends in my neighborhood. I gave them ordinary 6 inch rulers with instructions to measure the length of everything substantial that passed into their mouths. The only things exempted were water and sugar-free drinks. What I learned was that my obese friends were consuming between 8 to 12 feet of food per day! At the time, I was about 10 lbs. over my ideal body weight so I decided to find out how much I was eating per day... 3 feet. I cut back to less than 2 feet and was at my proper weight in one month.
My friends have responded similarly except they have taken longer because of having to lose more weight. Admittedly, some of my obese friends were especially slow to respond. They also happen to be the ones with an unfortunate propensity for accidentally loosing their 6 inch rulers and taking weeks to buy replacements.
So here's the deal: measure all the food you eat, using it's longest dimension, and keep the total length to less than two feet per day. That's all there is. No scales, no counting calories or carbohydrates. Heck, if you loose your ruler, you can even use the first joint of your thumb to measure.
I am making this diet available as a public service and without compensation.
If you have any questions, just see Dr. Chung's helpful FAQ and substitute "Two Feet" for "Two Pounds" everywhere... what could be simpler?

Ignoramus10861 - 30 Oct 2003 19:42 GMT Chung has no idea what is libelous and what is not.
Libel is a false printed statement of fact that tends to injure a person's reputation.
The elements that must be proved to establish defamation are: (1) A publication to one other than the person defamed; (2) of a false statement of fact; (3) which is understood as being of and concerning the plaintiff; and (4) which is understood in such a way as to tend to harm the reputation of plaintiff.
E.g. if I call you a turd, it is not defamation. Calling you a turd is not a statement of fact.
Now if I said that you stole my wallet (and you did not steal my wallet), then it would be defamation.

You have my pity.
FYI Note: I am aware that I am responding to a cross-posted message. Because the author of the message to which I am responding did not request that the header be trimmed, I have not trimmed it. If you are upset about reading this message, a few suggestions:
(1) Yell at John (2) Report John to his ISP for violating their TOS with his libel and defamation. (3) Killfile this thread. (4) Killfile me. (5) Read about free speech.
This discussion(s) is related to the 2 pound diet approach (2PD) which is described completely at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp
Though Dr. Chung invented this approach, he did not initiate this Usenet discussion(s). His participation in this discussion(s) has been voluntary and has been conducted in the spirit of community service. His motivation has been entirely altruistic and has arisen from his religious beliefs as a Christian. Jesus freely gave of Himself to better the health of folks He touched:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp
From the outset, it has been clear that there are those who are vehemently opposed to the 2 pound diet approach. They have debated Dr. Chung on every perceived weakness of the 2 pound diet approach and have lost the argument soundly at every point:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtlossfaqs.asp
These debates are archived on Google in their entirety within this and other discussion threads.
However, instead of conceding gracefully that they've lost the argument(s), certain parties have redirected their hatred of the 2 pound diet approach toward its author. The rationale appears to be "if you can not discredit the message then try to discredit the messenger."
Initially, these folks accused the messenger of "trolling." A "troll" is someone who posts under the cloak of anonymity messages with no redeeming discussion value and with the sole purpose of starting "flame" wars.
These hateful folks lost credibility with this accusation when the following observations were made:
(1) Dr. Chung has not been posting anonymously. (2) The 2PD has been on-topic for the Usenet discussion groups hosting the discussion(s). (a) Those who are failing low-carbing can dovetail LC with the 2PD to achieve near-ideal weight. (b) Obese diabetics improve their blood glucose control when their weight becomes near-ideal. (c) For (b) see: http://tinyurl.com/levc (3) Dr. Chung did not start the discussion(s). (4) The 2 pound diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive). (5) Dr. Chung's credentials are real and easily verified on-line (including jpegs of the actual diplomas).
Full of hatred, frustration, and desperation, certain individuals have tried to attack Dr. Chung's credentials knowing full well that they were attempting to libel him. One notable example is Mr. Pastorio:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp
When the full light was cast on Mr. Pastorio's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the darkness of anonymity only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.
Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp
where Dr. Chung's credentials can be verified many times over and libelous claims that credentials were bought are easily and summarily debunked.
Moreover, readers need only make the following observations concerning the anon posters who continue to hiss (ie JC Der Koenig and Mack):
(1) They are anonymous and thus they expect to have no credibility (or accountability). (2) They are by their Usenet history courtesy of Google, unsavory characters. (3) They have not added anything to the discussion(s) except to deliver one-sided insults. (4) They complain about alleged cross-posts from Dr. Chung by cross-posting. (5) They do not complain about cross-posts from folks who attack the 2PD or its author.
and conclude that these anon posters deserve only their kill file.
It is my hope that the above brings new readers of this thread up to speed.
It will remain my pleasure to participate here on Usenet above the din of hissing from the peanut gallery.
Sincerely,
Andrew

FYI Note: I am aware that I am responding to a cross-posted message. Because the author of the message to which I am responding did not request that the header be trimmed, I have not trimmed it. If you are upset about reading this message, a few suggestions:
(1) Yell at Chung (2) Report Chung to his ISP (3) Killfile this thread. (4) Killfile me. (5) Read about free speech.
This discussion(s) is related to the Two Foot Diet approach (2FD) which I developed as a replacement for Dr. Chung's Amazing Logic Defying Two Pound Diet to avoid having to carry a scale around.
In 2003, my wife and I watched an IMAX film about climbing the Bavarian Alps and learned that despite their exhausting regimen, the climbers consumed only 10 packages of wieners per week. That's less than 2 feet of wieners per day! Since none of the climbers died from starvation, I think it is safe to assume that 2 feet of food per day should be more than adequate for us non-climbing folks.
So I started a little experiment with the agreeable obese friends in my neighborhood. I gave them ordinary 6 inch rulers with instructions to measure the length of everything substantial that passed into their mouths. The only things exempted were water and sugar-free drinks. What I learned was that my obese friends were consuming between 8 to 12 feet of food per day! At the time, I was about 10 lbs. over my ideal body weight so I decided to find out how much I was eating per day... 3 feet. I cut back to less than 2 feet and was at my proper weight in one month.
My friends have responded similarly except they have taken longer because of having to lose more weight. Admittedly, some of my obese friends were especially slow to respond. They also happen to be the ones with an unfortunate propensity for accidentally loosing their 6 inch rulers and taking weeks to buy replacements.
So here's the deal: measure all the food you eat, using it's longest dimension, and keep the total length to less than two feet per day. That's all there is. No scales, no counting calories or carbohydrates. Heck, if you loose your ruler, you can even use the first joint of your thumb to measure.
I am making this diet available as a public service and without compensation.
If you have any questions, just see Dr. Chung's helpful FAQ and substitute "Two Feet" for "Two Pounds" everywhere... what could be simpler?
Though Steve invented this approach, he did not initiate this Usenet discussion(s).

(c) For (b) see: http://tinyurl.com/moreChungbullshit
(3) Steve did not start the discussion(s).
(4) The 2 foot diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive).
Full of hatred, frustration, and desperation, certain individuals have tried to attack Steve's credentials knowing full well that they were attempting to libel him. One notable example is Dr. Chung who is jealous that Steve has improved on his diet.
When the full light was cast on Dr. Chung's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the darkness of anonymity, most notably Mu, only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.
Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:

When the full light was cast on Mr. Pastorio's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the darkness of anonymity only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.
Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp
where Dr. Chung's credentials can be verified many times over and libelous claims that credentials were bought are easily and summarily debunked.
Moreover, readers need only make the following observations concerning the anon posters who continue to hiss (ie JC Der Koenig and Mack):
(1) They are anonymous and thus they expect to have no credibility (or accountability). (2) They are by their Usenet history courtesy of Google, unsavory characters. (3) They have not added anything to the discussion(s) except to deliver one-sided insults. (4) They complain about alleged cross-posts from Dr. Chung by cross-posting. (5) They do not complain about cross-posts from folks who attack the 2PD or its author.
and conclude that these anon posters deserve only their kill file.
It is my hope that the above brings new readers of this thread up to speed.
It will remain my pleasure to continue the discussion(s) about the 2PD above the din of hissing from the peanut gallery.

This discussion(s) is related to the 2 pound diet approach (2PD) which is described completely at:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp
Though Dr. Chung invented this approach, he did not initiate the Usenet discussion(s). His participation in this discussion(s) has been voluntary and has been conducted in the spirit of community service. His motivation has been entirely altruistic and has arisen from his religious beliefs as a Christian. Jesus freely gave of Himself to better the health of folks He touched:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp
From the outset, it has been clear that there are those who are vehemently opposed to the 2 pound diet approach. They have debated Dr. Chung on every perceived weakness of the 2 pound diet approach and have lost the argument soundly at every point:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtlossfaqs.asp
These debates are archived on Google in their entirety within this discussion thread(s).
However, instead of conceding gracefully that they've lost the argument(s), certain parties have redirected their hatred of the 2 pound diet approach toward its author. The rationale appears to be "if you can not discredit the message then try to discredit the messenger."
Initially, these folks accused the messenger of "trolling." A "troll" is someone who posts under the cloak of anonymity messages with no redeeming discussion value and with the sole purpose of starting "flame" wars.
These hateful folks lost credibility with this accusation when the following observations were made:
(1) Dr. Chung has not been posting anonymously. (2) The 2PD has been on-topic for the Usenet discussion groups hosting the discussion(s). (a) Those who are failing low-carbing can dovetail LC with the 2PD to achieve near-ideal weight. (b) Obese diabetics improve their blood glucose control when their weight becomes near-ideal. (c) For (b) see: http://tinyurl.com/levc (3) Dr. Chung did not start the discussion(s). (4) The 2 pound diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive).

Lost 10 lbs by "just calorie counting?" Did you count the calories of what you ate 2 pounds of to see where the diet went wrong? If you eat 2 pounds of Jelly Bellies per day, for example, it was probably too much. You still need to be reasonable about WHAT you eat.

Ah, but AL, had he followed the _Two Foot Diet_ , it would have worked
:-) Since each Jelly Bean is approximately 3/4 inch in length he would have only eaten 32 of them. See what a vast improvement that is over the TPD?
---
Because this discussion concerns the Two Pound Diet (2PD), I am providing the following as a Public Service:
I have developed the Two Foot Diet approach (2FD) as a replacement for Dr. Chung's Amazing Logic Defying Two Pound Diet to avoid having to carry a scale around.
In 2003, my wife and I watched an IMAX film about climbing the Bavarian Alps and learned that despite their exhausting regimen, the climbers consumed only 10 packages of wieners per week. That's less than 2 feet of wieners per day! Since none of the climbers died from starvation, I think it is safe to assume that 2 feet of food per day should be more than adequate for us non-climbing folks.
So I started a little experiment with the agreeable obese friends in my neighborhood. I gave them ordinary 6 inch rulers with instructions to measure the length of everything substantial that passed into their mouths. The only things exempted were water and sugar-free drinks. What I learned was that my obese friends were consuming between 8 to 12 feet of food per day! At the time, I was about 10 lbs. over my ideal body weight so I decided to find out how much I was eating per day... 3 feet. I cut back to less than 2 feet and was at my proper weight in one month.
My friends have responded similarly except they have taken longer because of having to lose more weight. Admittedly, some of my obese friends were especially slow to respond. They also happen to be the ones with an unfortunate propensity for accidentally loosing their 6 inch rulers and taking weeks to buy replacements.
So here's the deal: measure all the food you eat, using it's longest dimension, and keep the total length to less than two feet per day. That's all there is. No scales, no counting calories or carbohydrates. Heck, if you loose your ruler, you can even use the first joint of your thumb to measure.
I am making this diet available as a public service and without compensation.
If you have any questions, just see Dr. Chung's helpful FAQ and substitute "Two Feet" for "Two Pounds" everywhere... what could be simpler?
Sincerely,
God's Other Humble Servant

This is particularly enjoyable, as you note, because it is what you do and now it is being done to you. There is a particularly sweet component to it, and it is this: You are helpless to prevent it. You are helpless to affect it. You are impotent in the face of being treated appropriately.
Based on the tone of your comment above, it would seem you dislike being mocked with your own tools. I would try very hard to become used to it if I were you.
Deliberate sowing of confusion is never an attractive activity yet you feel compelled, obsessed, it would appear, to perform your daily quota of pointless attention-attracting. Perhaps you need to report all this to The Proper Authorities. Be sure to include samples of your own posts as rather mundane but plentiful templates for the form.
