Quoted message said:The two pound diet has no basis in science
"Correct. Atkins did and it's a scam."
A meaningless strawman argument, our friend evokes science constantly in
support of his trash science.
Quoted message said:and ignores the equally to
calorie restriction factors of exercise and sound choice of nutrition.
"A lie. First, exercise unless it is extreme burns very little cals over
and above sitting on the couch."
He and you are both ignorant of current literature on the topic.
"Sound nutrition, you know what that is? Write a book, it will scam
millions."
Two pounds of lard, sound nutrition?
Quoted message said:I have followed it from the beginning when mr. chung was confused by
watching a movie where mountain climbers consumed two pounds of food per
day. Confused because it is dehydrated energy dense foods easier to
carry up mountains for an energy intensive activity. That same diet
would almost surely cause most people to gain weight and become obese.
As I recall from calculating a similar diet it would be about 5000
calories a day..
It was 2 pounds of water-released food, add water, it increases, this
confused who?"
Him, the weekly food ration was mentioned as I recall, doing some quick
math it came out to about two pounds per person a day. Without adding
water, making much more then two pounds, it is about 5000 calories.
Quoted message said:This obvious fact was over looked because soon thereafter given him
personally he was also confused by an account in scripture of people
eating what he took mistakenly as two pounds of food a day. He confused
a measure of weight there that was in fact a measure of dry grain
volume. It too was not far from 5000 calories if that much grain was
consumed each day.
"OK, cite that."
Posted several times in the archives, a simple noting of how much barley
grain would fill the measure at question and finding the calorie content
of same at standard sources.
Quoted message said:But fear not, by this time he was convinced that by divine direction he
was correct and that two pounds of food regardless of all other factors
was a divine directive for good health. Regardless of what was eaten
and how many calories consumed it would be divinely adjusted to each
person's nutritional needs.
"Show me one nutritionally deprived individual in the USA on 2 lbs per
day."
Irrelevant, a red herring argument. Two pounds of lard?
Quoted message said:Then when added internal belly fat was becoming widely discussed for its
adverse metabolic activity, the two pound diet was seen as the cure for
all
metabolic related disorders, a divine cure no doubt given him personaly.
This fat "vat" was at root of all manner of disorder for which the two
pound diet was the treatment, nay the cure.
???????????
Quoted message said:Thus one can see the trash science,
"It was never science...."
You got that right, in spite him parading it as though it is, with a
good portion of divine private revelation thrown in for good effect.
Quoted message said:the confusion, the willfull
distortions, the filtering of information, the illogical leaps made, all
firmly cemented in his mind as a divine plan in which he was to play a
central and vital role in its pronouncement to the world. Atendant with
world wide acclaim and medical praise no doubt and purchase of tourist
books for trips to sweden high on the must do list.
"lol Whacko"
Level of discorse noted, failure to refute on any but personal wish to
