Truth is simple.

Doc, regardless of the kind of word games you play with it, it's a
diet. You've joined the diet guru club.

Is it your claim that "portion control" is a diet and that there is no
such thing as a "normal diet"?

Thankfully, the 2PD-OMER Approach is not a diet:

Actually, it is:

Diet \Di"et\, n. [F. di[`e]te, L. diaeta, fr. Gr. ? manner of living.]

1. Course of living or nourishment; what is eaten and drunk habitually;
food; victuals; fare. ``No inconvenient diet.'' --Milton. [1913 Webster]

2. A course of food selected with reference to a particular state of health;
prescribed allowance of food; regimen prescribed. [1913 Webster]

Would you apply this definition to claim that "portion control" is a
diet and that there is no such thing as a "normal diet" ?

Straw men aside, my claim is nothing more than this: your "two pound"
diet is exactly that - a diet.

Clearly, it fits the dictionary definition. One of the definitions of
"diet" is to eat according to a "regulated system... to lose weight or
control a medical condition." (source - http://tinyurl.com/85msh)

The great British writer George Orwell, the German satirist and
thinker Karl Kraus, and the Austrian-born psychiatrist Thomas Szasz
have all warned what happens when people in authority are allowed to
abuse language and ignore the meanings of words. People get abused.

I'm not saying that's what Dr. Chung is necessarily doing, but I do
notice he seems to have a pattern of speaking in his own private
language, and casting it in a cloak of his "board certified MD/PhD"
assumed authority.

I recall the "FAQ" vs. "FAQs" business.

The way to the truth is straight and narrow:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?A2642108A

You will be in my prayers, dear Ernst whom I love, in Christ's holy
name.

May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.

Here's how:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?I22222129

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)

Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.

Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" metabolic syndrome (MetS)
thereby bringing this thread back on topic for these NGs :-)

What about my claim is untruthful, or makes any reference to "normal
diet"?

By the way, if this "portion control" of which you speak is done in a
"systematic and regulated" fashion (as it appears you require with your
"two pound approach,"😉 then it would very much seem to qualify as a
diet, according to this definition.

Please go on with your hairsplitting though, diet guy. I need

Correct again.

Now show folks here that you are able to answer the simple question
truthfully.

You got a truthful answer. It just wasn't the one you liked.

Did not see an answer, actually. Perhaps someone like Jeff can help you
out here.

Here it is again:

Is it your claim that "portion control" is a diet and that there is no
such thing as a "normal diet"?

In truth, on the internet, FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions.

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/

FAQs whould be pages of frequently asked questions.

Not universally:

http://www.irs.gov/faqs/

Thanks for backing up the idea that FAQs would be pages of Frequenly Asked
Questions.

This pages does this splendedly.

Not really. The web site specifies that when one is inquiring with a
single question that this question is a FAQ.
