Particpants cut back their fat calories from 37% to 29%, increased fruit, vegetable, and grain intake by 25%, and cut back an average of 360 calories per day for eight full years, and were closely monitored to ensure that they remained on the diet. Results? Weight loss in the healthy eaters was only about 1.5lb, and furthermore did not reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer. And so I present to you:THE (e:zobar) MIRACLE DIET!
When you are not hungry, do not eat. When you become hungry, think about what you want to eat, and then eat it. When you are full, stop eating and go on with the rest of your life. That's it!
The (e:zobar) Miracle Diet has the best food of any diet plan out there, because it's exactly what you want! You will never mindlessly stuff your face with Low-Fat Kardboard Krisps just to stave off hunger between unappetizing and inadequate frozen meals or Nutrient Shakes! You'll have all kinds of free time, since you won't have to spend it calculating calories or counting cards! You'll feel like a person in charge of his life, and not like a pathetic fatso with no willpower! And when compared with the best long-term diet that the NIH has ever devised, it's only about 1.5lb less effective.
People say that's easy for you to say, Mr. BMI 17. Maybe you don't realize this, but my weight has caused me problems for my whole life. People who are not dieticians regularly use social gatherings as opportunities to tell me I need to go on a diet. People judge me by the food I eat. People will tell my close relations that my weight is a reflection of their poor character. That's fucking bullshit! i say. I am a healthy individual, I can eat what I want, and I do. Food is a wonderful thing, and you should enjoy it.

Yeah, the WHI study was a colossal waste of federal money. The problem was measurement. Though these women were carefully instructed and re-instructed to eat well, all that created was a guilt-trip for these women when they felt like devouring a pack of chips on the sly. Since it was done on the sly, it probably never got reported in their food diaries and food frequency questionnaires. So here you had a study that was perfectly designed in every possible way but discounted one small but important detail. To err is human. They thought they were dealing with obedient robots who would follow diets to a dot. These were postmenopausal women with mood swings and other stresses for sanity's sake! What the hell did they expect?
Your miracle diet is probably the most sensible diet. Eat when you are hungry. Don't overeat. Don't eat when you are not hungry. But how do you make people think sensibly when they have arrived to a conclusion that all those binge eating episodes will be wiped away by the new orange beach or blue beach or whatever the new fad diet is? Do nutritional epidemiology and nutritional interventions work when advertising and other misinformation is working overtime (and getting paid) against the science? The answers are out there blowing the wind and if we don't wake up soon, as scientists, as a society, there will be a tornado and the answers will get lost forever. :/
Of course that study is on postmenopausal women and not that I know the science of it but that is the giant factor. OF course the follow up study needs to be what happens when you add at least 20 minutes of Aerobic Exercise at least 3 times a week. The Follow up to that is to see what happens when you use epefederine of wait that causes Heart Attacks. but there are somethings that can turn up your metobolism and that is really what makes most thing people thin and most heavy people heavy. Of course eating habits as you grow up and DNA are other factors. But with out reading the study this isn't what that is about really.
If anyone figure out how to preserve intelligence and personally outside of body using technical means it will be the frail bodied, skinny computer dorks. So we might just outlive everyone, although, in a different form.
It is too bad that people with lower BMIs have higher rates of mortality from every possible cause.
Also it is too bad you are a man because you also are more likely to die from everything.
But since you can't really change either of those two things through either diet or exercise, then you might as well enjoy what little time you have.
I, as an obese woman, will probably outlive you by twenty years. The only thing you can really do about that is throw me under a bus, so I should probably shut up now and keep vigilant when we're walking down the street.
