Just to be clear, you're saying that you and your videos and your 8 buddies are in direct opposition to doctors who actually attended medical school, residency and post residency work?
Yes, if they dispute my direct personal experience and the data thoroughly presented in "The Big Fat Surprise" or Gary Taubes's books, which are just based on going through an enormous number of dietary studies. No, if they do not.
And you are not a doctor of any kind.
I am not a medical doctor. I have a science Ph.D. and work in biotech. There are a great many things where an MD knows a lot more than I do. But there is a limited area of biology-related stuff where I know more than a typical MD. With regard to biology and metabolism, I don't claim to be an enormous expert, but I do have some personal experience with one particular diet, experience that is completely in line with what is thoroughly described in "The Big Fat Surprise", so I don't think I'm an outlier.
And you are saying you can eat as much food as listed on your magic food/calorie list as you want EACH AND EVERY DAY and people will lose weight because it worked for you and your friends?
Yes. To be more specific, since I can foresee my words being transgressed into incorrect extremes otherwise: most overweight people, if they restrict their diets to meat and non-starchy vegetables (i.e., don't eat sugar, fructose, fruit juice, salad dressing with sugar in it, bread, pasta, rice, beans, potatoes, etc., along with the meat and salad), can eat as much as they want each and every day and lose weight up to the point where they are either a normal weight or at least significantly less overweight than they were before starting the diet.
Note what this does not say. It does not say that 100.0000% of people will get these results. I saw it work with 8 out of 8. 1 out of 9 might not work, or 2 out of 10, etc. It does not say that a person can be force-fed an unlimited amount of this and be fine, like a goose being prepared for pate. Part of the working of the diet is that there is only so much meat and salad you will desire to eat by your own appetite. At some point, you are full and don't want any more. You can eat meat and salad until you don't want any more -- every day -- as long as your diet doesn't include that other stuff. You can't eat a bunch of sugar and carbs and then eat all the meat and salad you want -- it is *just* meat and salad. It does not say that you will lose weight no matter what weight you are at. At some point on this diet, you reach your body's new setpoint of weight that is lower than before, and then you stop losing weight. But that setpoint isn't zero, and different people will have different setpoints.
Those the facts?
Yes.
Ok then. There are a bunch of people right here that are trying to lose weight. Put your magic list up and share it with them. Let them be volunteers for the program that you just put your name on as being a working unfallable way to lose weight guaranteed and let's see who loses and who gains.
Haven't you noticed? I've done that about 5 times already.
Who wants to eat as much of specific foods as they want everyday, without excercise, and lose all the weight they need to be healthy?
Everyone wants that. But there are three problems.
One is that there are a hundred different diets in the world, each of which has someone saying "It's great!" People aren't going to try every one. So, I can say this one is great, but not everyone is going to believe me or try it.
Another is that eating a low-carb diet isn't to everyone's liking. I like it just fine, but some folks are carb hounds. Also, it is a diet that is (1) more costly (meat and salad cost more than pasta, rice, beans, and potatoes) and (2) less convenient (because most fast food and most convenient snacks are high carb).
Third is that there are people who will give it a try but not really do it. They will eat a bit lower carb than they did before or at least feel like they are trying to do so, but still eat hamburger buns and tortillas and drink a beer a day and sugary salad dressing and eat a bunch of nuts and have some chips here and there and an iced tea with sugar in it -- then say that they tried it, but it didn't work, when in fact they didn't really try it.
