That of course is false and based on your opinion vs any physiology or
data per say.
It's not false because the opinion has no data,
It is false AND based on no data. I didn't say it was false due to lack of data.
Then produce the data that makes it false.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:empirically it is easy
to see that the mainstream diets, most require significant reading,
comprehension, journaling and/or monitoring, counting of cals or carbs
or whatever (all of which is rarely accurate by the dieter), weighing,
supplementation and on and on and on. Since we are talking about success
as in a lifetime, these diets are built to induce noncompliance not
obtain it.
Depending on which diet, the above is often true, yes. Regardless,
compliance to some form of calorie restriction is what's needed to lose
weight.

Why? Because you can't as easily sell something simple such as a high
compliance WOE as the 2PDiet.
In most cases, simple is often best, at least in the beginning and
depending on goals.
Best doesn't sell and revenue drives the diets of the populace, Will.

Quoted message said:Yes, compliance is important, as it is for everything in
life. If you don't study in school, and fail, this is the fault of the
school or you?
You but who goes to school for life?
Who diets for life? Eating well to control your weight after reaching a
target weight is not dieting. If you are dieting for life, you are doing
something wrong. Human physiology being what it is, one can't simply eat
what ever we want, thus at least some control is required as it is for all
things in life.
Semantical argument over the use of the term "diet", you must have
learned this attitude from Chung lol
All commercial diets ultimately evolve into a maintenance stage where
eating this or that over time will = no weight gain. hence, once on a
diet, the maintenance phase is part of the "diet". Now if you want to
say "I'm off my diet", then either you skipped the last chapters or you
are making the word "diet" to mean only the weight loss periods. Fine
with me, I got off the 2Pound Diet when I hit an optimum weight.

That's the whole point, if there were such things, there would be more
compliance and less obese. It's not just the people, it's the diets
themselves which are co-contributors to the problem ofcompliance.
Depends on the diet. One can come up with a very simple diet thats easy to
follow, though it may not be healthy, etc.
Sure, the Ten Ton Air Diet for one.

"2PDiet covers everything I need."
What's your problem with the 2PDiet?
