Moderation does nothing to provide a rapid weight loss for a specific date. I will be interested in seeing the #s on blood work. I have a physical next week. Being able to discontinue bp med would be wonderful but won’t get my hopes up for that.

No, you can’t suddenly do anything with moderation.

I don’t think crash diets of any type are good for your health.

This is a medically designed diet so not really crash. Karim’s doctor was astounded at the improvement in his medical conditions which enabled him to drop from 6 Bp pills to 2 with his loss and improved #s. I understand your skepticism but believe its unfounded here based on what I’ve experienced. Crash diets do not leave you feeling BETTER while on them than before. No headaches, no aches and pains (I was having a massage weekly for the periformis which still bothered me though not acute as before. Haven’t had a massage since I started the diet. No pain). More energy and less moodiness/pms. Could be helped by the horse pill sized magnesium supplements they have you take also.

I clicked on your link expecting to see a bunch of hot Catherine Zeta Jones pics, but instead was routed over to a HotAir column about MD’s column, instead of a FR thread on the MD column. You can imagine my disappointment.

Killing me not to eat fruit but it’s verboten on the diet.

So you are in Hawaii and can't eat the pineapples? What a tragic and ironic circumstance.

An interesting change of pace-
Today we’re foreign word-ish
And an interesting definition
Of warriors who are Kurdish

It spells right out that they
Will go medieval or berserker-
And when a battle is imminent
There’s nothing like a shirker

I’m out of verses for that one...

I would love to buy you lunch
Some pizza or a burger
I love your poem very much
Though you never used “peshmerga”

It used to be considered okay to be in ketosis for a period of time-glad to see that is still okay.

I’m glad this change in eating habits is working for you-I really think that what works for each individual is what is right for them-one size does not fit all. The diet sounds like an almost-Atkins.

I like the almost-Atkins eating, have done it for years-the few carbs I eat come from fresh veggies, not grain products-I do bake and eat bread now and then and put new potatoes in beef stew in winter. I also eat fresh fruit and yogurt.

What you are doing now may be perfect for you-you feel good and energetic, and that says a lot. I’m healthy and have plenty of energy to do my job-so obviously it is a healthy diet for me. But some other individual might not thrive at all on it, might gain weight or have headaches, etc-they might need more of this or that food, etc...

Thank you-sorry-I meant to put “peshmerga” in the first verse-Obama is such a verga, etc-but I got off on a different rhyme...

And thanks-a cold salad of romaine lettuce, grilled chicken strips, green onion and feta cheese, drizzled with olive oil would be lovely...

Pedantic pain in the ass... Who does that remind me of ; )....

He probably has a google alert for just that phrase. Wouldn't want to miss one.

Third stanza:

The peshmerga had our back
When the thinking people were in office
We coordinated the attack
Instead of sitting around smoking cannabis.

That is hilarious! I honestly think smoking weed would improve the current WH occupant and staff’s cognitive abilities-it certainly can’t make things any worse...

I apologize for the giant pic of the big zero, but I just learned I am a neoconservative.
