Yes, you're right, niggles, we are all entitled to our own opinions. That's what's nice about forums. Everyone is entitled to their own view. As long as they are courteous and polite and don't trash anyone, then hey! express away.
My whole point is I have a problem with the word "diet" from the get go. To me, that word is an acronym for "Dangerous Inadvisable Eating Tactic". When a "diet" promises a person can lose 9 lbs every 11 days, the red warning flags go up. As I said previously, 9 lbs of what? You have to preserve at all costs the lean body mass you have. You can't afford to lose muscle tissue. That is where fat is burned and that is what you want to lose - fat - not pounds.
There's lots I take issue with in their ad. I gave one example previously. Another is the statement: "You get fat because you don't eat the right foods at the right intervals each day." Rubbish! You get fat because you take in excess calories of that which you expend. Anything above your immediate needs is stored as excess fuel - fat. What they say makes as much sense as saying there are different types of calories.
Hey! If people are happy on this "diet" and are happy losing weight with no regard to where that weight is coming from, so be it. I maintain there will come a time when the novelty of this "diet" wears off and they go back to their previous eating habits. This type of eating is not sustainable. It is not a lifestyle change one can live with. Atkins was all the rage for awhile, and finally is dying down. People lost tons of weight, and we know what the statistics bear out. They're back to square one, only fatter than when they started, which is the outcome of all fad "diets".
