That's because the diet industry, all of it is, is designed to make sure that you, the average overweight American, don't succeed. After all, if you finally lose the weight and keep it off, than suddenly you don't need to keep buying their stuff. And they're out alot of money. Here on C-C, though, we can teach you, from experience, how to lose weight, how to keep it off and we don't even charge!

so who is really promoting a diet? hmmmmmmmmmmm
#162	christinak74	Sep 30 2006 19:44
I think the only thing being promoted here is basic nutrition. Read it dodgeman....you might learn something.
#163	hkellick	Sep 30 2006 20:03
Who is promoting this "diet"? The site, in general. Past that, no one. And I put diet in paranthesis because it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. If you read it (and I strongly suspect you have not), you'd see it's the same shpiel I've said from the start: Eat healthy, exercise, get active, set realistic goals, stay motivated and positive. This post has helped unconfuse alot of people on this site, and you'd have to be pretty darned sure of yourself if you think you've got the capacity to challenge it.

I think I just heard the theme from "A Fist Full of Dollars".

thanks hkellick, for posting this info. i am thankful for any help anyone has to share. the fact is everyone needs a easier way of understanding the complexity of any lifestyle change and when people are generous enough to put as much time in thought into what you have done then that's great. thanks to everyone who had donated any info to help you write up this mini novel. it will be a great help to me that's for sure. so once again thank you

A lot of work went into this. Thanks HK, for taking the time.
#167	hkellick	Oct 01 2006 15:22
You're welcome :) Remember, I only put it together. The actual wisdom comes from various members on these boards :) I'm just spitting out what they'd told me, over time, to you :)

#169	movgal	Oct 04 2006 15:47
Love it! Back again to read up on more and refresh memory! Thanks for all the helpful info in one place!
#170	seashel	Oct 10 2006 21:25
love it
#171	sadawatts	Oct 11 2006 16:01
Excellent Job- well put!!!! I learned a lot from your post- Thank you
#172	slimbell	Oct 12 2006 06:05
Weight Watchers is a life-style change not a diet. It is all about portion control and it does work!
#173	hkellick	Oct 20 2006 15:16
So many of you have lost the way... Starvation Diets, Cabbage Suit Diets. None of them work. Not long term. You get sick of Cabbage Soup. You get sick, period, starving yourself. That ain't the way, folks. THIS is the way, right here. This is the golden path. Read it, learn it, live it. It's simple, folks. Eat at a reasonable calorie deficit, exercise, lose fat. I'm living proof. Lots of us on these boards are. Come back home. This is the way to lose weight safely and effectively. And if you don't lose weight following this "Diet", then I'll eat my hat :p
#174	stainofmind	Oct 20 2006 16:17
Bump Bump Bump Because I too am sick of the cabbage soup and starvation diets...
#175	salome190	Oct 20 2006 17:52
I think it is time to bump this up again. There is a lot of great ideas here. Please take the time to read through them. Tag it for later reference.
#176	dodgeman_1000	Oct 20 2006 19:27
i think it is funny that you guys on here keep bashing other ideas. Your way may be fine, for you. But to say that not consuming as many calories is starving, well then what are you doing? the same thing, consuming less calories than before, that equals to using stored energy or (fat) the end result is the same, regardless of how fast you do it. call it what ever you want, but in order to lose weight you have to consume less than before but telling people they can't do it except your way is lying
#177	salome190	Oct 20 2006 19:32
I haven't bashed any other ideas but offer a different approach. It is up to each individual person to decide what is the best course for them. Some things are going to work well for some people and others are not. I personally would suggest trying to go with a program that you are going to be able to stick with long-term. Also a program that does more good for your body than damage in the long-run.
#178	stainofmind	Oct 20 2006 19:49
We don't bash others ideas. It's just that weight loss is a science. It's not a gimick to make money. You don't have to be hungry all the time. You don't have to be limited to one type of food. HK's post is only informing those interested in losing on a FREE, NON STARVATION, NON SINGLE FOOD way. While it may apear that others ways are being bashed, coments are only made because we have educated ourselves. We understand the devistating effects of "diets", of starvation, or deprivation. Most of us are living proof, because we have had great sucsess in not only losing the weight, but KEEPING it off. Keeping it off is the key. You can lose all the weight you want. You can lose 100 lbs by eating 400 calories a day. But if you do that, eventiually you will have to either continue to eat that way for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE or up those cals and gain weight. So many people are looking for a quick fix, so many people get ripped off, because they don't focus on the long term. Quick fixes will give you results. But they wont work in the long term.

this is great everything in a nut shell.

Dodgeman please see post: http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/16332.html This is how one should effectively state an argument or position of one's theory. No bashing, just honest debate and education. You people refuse to back up your promotion with hard facts. That my friend is why you can not validate your D-I-E-T. *"call it what ever you want, but in order to lose weight you have to consume less than before" YES! But not below a medically safe consumption level. You need a minimal amount of calories to keep your body working efficiently. What is it that your not understanding? We know the z diet works* (jumping from an airplane without a parachute will get you to the ground, but realistically, how safe is that?) but research has also told us that such a low caloric intake is unhealthy for the physiology of the human body and has damaging effects on its longevity.
