Many of the folks reading this on the alt.support.x groups will spout about
studies where the number of individuals in the study is less than 30. Ok if
it supports LC, not OK if it concerns the 2PSpaceDiet.

It's so interesting to watch ppl fight against a diet that straightaway
stares at the truth = eating less. What is particularly interesting is why
they fight that notion in the first place. Herein lies the psychology of
the modern day "dieter" and how the charlatans like Atkins play on this
"nothing gets something" mentality.

The 2PDiet is about conditioning yourself to eat less. To eat less than you
prolly ever imagined would be healthful. Eat less than most everyone else.
Eat waaay less than the mainstream. Eat less than you thought you ever
could.

What do we hear? "Gonna starve, not enof nutrients" myth after myth all to
keep the one *basic* myth alive. That the human body must constantly be
refueled with large quantities of food (over 2 lbs per day). Yes, that's
right; over 2 pounds per day is "large", it's too much, and it is not
required.

If ever gluttony had a face.........
