Two Pound Diet Approach Update
Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
regarding the successes with this approach
(http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp).
I would encourage folks to continue to update me on their "permanence"
with this approach. It is looking like we should be able to report an
extraordinarily high rate of success at *permanent* weight loss with
this approach (http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtlossfaqs.asp) now that we are
about to have 5 years of follow-up for some people.
Peace,
Andrew

I'm only about 20 pounds over since I had a baby, but I can't get it to go
away. (and the baby just turned five)
Portion control is key!
Thanks!

The comparison will be with folks choosing not to use the Two Pound approach.

I did print the instructions for diabetics for your 2lb diet but I don't take
insulin. I take 2,000 mg of glucophage daily. Do I take away 500mg at a time as
you do with insulin or how would that go? I have 1,000mg pills that can be
broken in 2.
Thanks ahead of time! Jenny

Losing 5 lbs a week is not the goal.

The amount of nutrients a person gets depends on the actual intake and not on the weight loss. If someone is eating 2
pounds of typical foodstuffs per day, it is unlikely there are any deficiencies in vitamin or mineral intake. If you
are concerned about even a remote possibility, I am sure most dieticians and nutritionists would agree that a daily
multi-vitamin will make it an impossibility.

It would and it would be excessive if you want to achieve ideal body weight.

Today I had strawberries, nectarine, pineapple, melon, grapes and mango
but in small amounts on the TPD. I also had meat, cheese, nuts, tomato
juice, chicken, spinach, yogurt, honey and salad dressing and you
didn't need a magnifying glass to see the food--all 32 ounces of it.
Does it make less sense than not counting calories but having bacon,
sausage, cheese, butter and whipped cream in no special amounts? (not
attacking low carb, just making an analogy)
Here's how it went;
Breakfast: 1 egg, tomato sauce made from tomato juice, coffee
Lunch: Spinach salad, with parmesan cheese, red onion, mushrooms,
a dill-mayo homemade dressing, nectarine
Snack: almonds and selections from fresh fruit platter
Dinner: Lasagna made with ground turkey, tomato sauce, zucchini,
Parmesan cheese, more tomato sauce, pressed cottage cheese
Snack, yogurt, honey, strawberries
Total 32 ounces
It's amazing. People question that a man was really ever on the moon
because they personally were never on the voyage, but they rant for
months against a diet they haven't tried and displace their irritation
on the individuals who proposed and support it and tried it instead.

Ah. Coffee. I'd kill for a cup that tasted good. Since my MIDCAB and
following complications, I can't stand it. (A 6 cup a day person since
birth). Taste perversion? Is that what they call it?
