Here's one of the interesting contradictions that I live with:
Did you know that you can lose tons of weight by eating nothing but FAT?
I've been on this diet for some time now, and I think it's about the only
one that a SubGenius can live with. The reason that I'm detailing it here
is because the more people I tell about it, the more disbelief I encounter.
I'm not exactly going for the waif-look, but college dorm food for the
last four years did bad things to me. Now I'm back to the weight I was
when I entered college.
Basically, you eat nothing with sugar, no fruit and very little
vegetables either, and no grains of any kind (especially NOT orange ones)-
little or no carbohydrates.
So the only thing you can eat is MEAT and CHEESE and butter and eggs,
heavy cream, etc.
This is a diet for the more REAL of us..... screw all that carrot-stick
munching. And the cool thing is that it really works. My diet snacks
consist of pork rinds with melted cheese, and anything fried in butter.
And there's no limit either- no pre-defined portioning is necessary.
Basically, as much as you want of what most of the "diet industry"
considers junk food. This diet is much quicker, and requires no special
brand-name foods. Therefore, there's very little coverage of this in the
media, thus proving the Con's method of promoting difficult-to-attain
weights, and then hiding the one thing that might work (for some people).
No chocolate though, which is the only thing that sucks for me, but let
me tell you- once you've gone without sugar for a couple of months, when
you do have it, it's much more hallucinogenic than before.

Rev. Nickie...as much as I would LOVE to believe you, sincerely,
deeply and longingly...I understand a little too much about physiology
to go along with this. Calories is calories, and fat has 9 calories
per gram whereas protein and carbs only have 4 cal per gm. Unless you
put out more than you take in...you aren't going to lose weight, and
unless you build more muscle while staying at(or dropping below) the
same weight, you aren't going to lose fat. There's truly nothing on
earth that I'd like better than to be sitting here spooning out of a
carton of Ben and Jerry's right now, but I have this need to be able
to fit through a doorway without being greased up and shoehorned.
This makes me think of that scene in "Sleeper" where the doctors are
discussing the benefits of cream pies, t-bones etc. while smoking
cigs....

Well.... I really don't know if it was THAT book, but I don't think the
book I got it from promoted it as a new age scheme at all. Just
different. But the author said he'd been prescribing it to patients as a
dietitian for decades. To me, a new age diet would be "oh, you don't need
any food at all." But it sure as hell worked in my case. Avoiding sugar
has given me much more consistent energy levels besides.

Well, the one I tried was by a guy called Atkins. But there seems to be
several low-carbohydrate diet books out. However, this is the one that
worked for me, and the guy has some neat things to say about the diet
conspiracy- he's kinda paranoid, in a neat sort of way.
