I still don't eat enough calories but I feel like I do.<br />But what I try to remember is exactly what the man proved with the Twinkies diet, that its excess calories that makes you gain weight, whether its from Twinkies or apples. I might also add that I am from Europe and I have never been so obsessed with my diet until I cam to the USA. Im not sure how this obsession with dieting and food and wrong nutrition facts let the American people to fear food.<br />thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-7605083209220639432010-11-25T11:30:57.844-08:002010-11-25T11:30:57.844-08:00Yes, quite right! three cheers for lori :-)

I'm sure your work helps many people and you should be congratulated for that.<br /><br />Happy Holidays<br /><br />Jon<br />EET FitnessMaximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460749079429083657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-47477104412774341702010-11-23T17:47:44.688-08:002010-11-23T17:47:44.688-08:00So nice to have appreciative readers!

Science continues to support that. While it is true that long term studies show rather disappointing results,the best results come from a combination of behavioral intervention, caloric reduction, and physical activity. But taking this to extremes certainly also leads to failure.HikerRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170145903147301280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-26361080282676757122010-11-23T09:59:47.085-08:002010-11-23T09:59:47.085-08:00Dr. Haub definitely proved his thesis that a daily...Dr. Haub definitely proved his thesis that a daily caloric deficit is a path to weight loss. Statistically it's a horrible path to weight loss, that much is certain, as upwards of 98% of conventional diets fail within a year (Dr. Haub's diet is a conventional diet, irrlevant of his food choices - he was focused on expending more calories than he consumed).<br /><br />It should be noted that Dr. Haub has been successful for all of 10 weeks so far -- even he questions the sustainability of this diet.<br /><br />WHATEVER FOODS YOU USE, Caloric deficit dieting is a huge cause of weight GAIN. It's not sustainable and slows metabolism. Basically it puts you in a jail that to lose weight you will have to eat less and less and exercise more and more. That’s not healthy.<br /><br />Training your metabolism to handle more food is clearly a better way, and this can be accomplished by shifting the timing of your eating and exercise to better align with your natural metabolic cycle.<br /><br />The EET Fitness Plan has proven this over the last 3 years with members (including Type 2 diabetics and Children who were obese) eating plenty of junk food as well as all other kinds of foods (EET has no calorie counting and no food restrictions).<br /><br />I had hoped Dr. Haub's message would be to get people to question EVERYTHING about conventional dieting -- and I love your message of opening the door to ALL foods as EET has always done, But you are still suggesting a daily caloric deficit and that is simply the same well worn path that leads to a 98% failure rate. We are calling a 98% failure rate state of the art? <br /><br />I fear the public is taking from Dr. Haub's experiment that a conventional calorie counting dieting is the way to go, and if that's the case it will cause more harm than good.<br /><br />Jon<br />EET FitnessMaximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460749079429083657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-61143421978481457162010-11-22T19:25:05.256-08:002010-11-22T19:25:05.256-08:00Sounds like a breakthrough!

Now at least you're seeing the benefits--and the consequences of eating/not eating. Glad you're following the blog.

I finally understand what you mean by ‘legalising food’ (including junk food), and also ‘giving yourself permission to eat’. But the biggest one of all is ‘in control of your hunger’. I originally thought this was a self-control issue – like I’m so good at restricting I am ‘in control’ of my hunger – but I had an epiphany the other day which has made me see it completely differently to my initial (slightly warped) interpretation. I have been trying very hard to make sure I eat (at least) 4 hourly, but the other day I had a slip-up. I skipped breakfast (because I was ‘too busy’), then I skipped my morning snack (same genius reason), then I went to my exercise class (fainted, big surprise). But the epiphany came when I got home and I ate like there was no tomorrow (and purged, of course). It was only then did I realise that I hadn’t even thought about doing that while I wasn’t hungry all the time. I have been in control of my hunger. But not in a self-denial, ED kind of way. Could it be that when I binge it is because I am just hungry and not because I am ‘fat, lazy, greedy, disgusting and weak’ ?? I know you’re probably thinking: well, dah!! But I honestly can’t believe that it’s taken me this long to see how obvious that is!!Plain Janenoreply@blogger.com
