"many..." No actual number.

He says this on his page with URL <http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp>

"In 1997, my wife and I watched an IMAX film about climbing Mt.
Everest and learned that despite their exhausting regimen, the
climbers consumed only 10 lbs of food per week. That's less than 2
lbs. of food per day! Since none of the climbers died from starvation,
I think it is safe to assume that 2 lbs. per day should be more than
adequate for us non-climbing folks.

"So I started a little experiment with the agreeable obese patients in
my care. I gave them ordinary food scales with instructions to weigh
everything substantial that passed into their mouths. The only things
exempted were water and sugar-free drinks. What I learned was that my
obese patients was consuming between 8 to 12 lbs. of food per day! At
the time, I was about 10 lbs. over my ideal body weight (ok, it was
more like 20 lbs) so I decided to find out how much I was eating per
day... 3-4 lbs. I cut back to less than 2 lbs. and was at my proper
weight in a few months."

But never an actual number. No data to support that "many more than 1"=20
claim.

>=20

Except Chung never mentions how many there are actually doing it that
he knows of. It also implies that *everyone* who started it has stayed=20
with it. All are still alive. All are still in contact with Chung.

All puffery and claims; no documentation, data or testimonials to=20
support any of it. Lies followed by more lies.
