    Thank you so much for posting this! I love charts, numbers, etc. so signed up immediately and the sheets are so easy to use.

    I downloaded the PDF and started to read it. I'm a programmer too, so what he says makes complete sense to me (I love his AutoCAD software as well :)

    Only problem is that I'm at work right now and should be programming, not reading about a hack diet ....

    I read somewhere that NO diets work ... when you understand why this is right, you will no longer be fat

    Bold statement! Wrong of course - my diet works perfectly and I challenge anybody to say otherwise

    Whenever I plan to lose 14lbs on 'a diet' it always works

    Totally missed the point there bud. Agree with the statement fully. As long as you are having to use 'diets' to force yourself to eat right you are always going to be fighting a losing battle. When you change your feelings fundamentally on food, that is when you will really make a difference.

    Nope I completely got the point but don't agree with you

    I always use diets to force myself to eat right and I'm not fighting a losing battle. Why do I need to change my feelings on food if every time I feel the need to change my weight, I can adopt my 'diet' phase and lose the weight I need easily? - really making a difference

    I also don't think we need to protect people. I believe in natural selection. (oh no I didn't just say that) :noway:

    Right so it was wrong to educate the masses on the dangers of smoking?

    How about those that used to like to lay out in the sun, we didn't need to protect people by educating them about the skin cancer risks - just let natural selection take it's course

    And if 18 year old girls want to go on a 300 calorie a day diet then they shouldn't be told of the risks involved - they should be allowed to get on with it and see how it feels?

    again I think you've missed the point - fact is we shouldn't have to force people to act in their own best interests. If they choose not to, then the outcome is on them.

    'Force' is a strong,infamitory word and nobody is advocating prohibition type measures for food.

    'Assist' is a better word, so is 'educate' and 'encourage'

    We really shouldn't need to force people to act in the best interest of the planet, but the fact is we 'encourage' by offering incentives.

    Love this. It really hit home for me!! I have continuously told others I am not on a specifically 'diet', just trying to make better choices and eat better... BUT... mentally, I think I have still been looking at it as a 'diet'. I know it isn't short term, this is a life change for me, because it HAS to be. I am done with being unhealthy.

    I would agree, that if overall I didn't have a MAJOR weight issue, and found that 'from time to time' I needed to drop 10 to 15 lbs - that I could and would do that. But, for those of us with significant issues with food - we (or at least I) do need to work on readjusting my fundamental relationship with food... and exercise.

    I read the eBook today and I liked it. It actually goes right along with what MFP says, except that it helps you figure out (through trial and error) what your true metabolic rate is based on your progress over time. It has a lot of motivation content as well as a sensible exercise plan that only takes 15 minutes a day. (But he's also clear that you should do whatever exercise you want to do, but it's not crucial for weight loss)

    He also goes into detail about how to get into maintenance mode and how to continue to track your progress over time and establish a clear boundary that if you happen to cross into it, you go back into full-on diet mode until you're back where you want to be.

    It was a VERY good book with common sense, and it made the programmer in me really want to code stuff. :)

    And by the way, "rapid", in this book, is about a pound a week, but also stresses to stay within what's comfortable for you to minimize feelings on hunger during the day.

    Please note, again, this book is NOT a new plan, it's NOT anything different than what we're doing here on MFP. This is just great for motivation, and how to track your weight loss in a way that helps to keep you from getting discouraged if you have a day or two with a higher weight than the previous day.
