You don’t need diet medication to lose weight, but diet medication can make weight loss faster and easier by blocking your hunger (so you eat less and lose weight faster) and by reducing your sweet and starch cravings (so you eat less and lose weight faster). Reducing your sweet and starch cravings also helps you […]

Carbocalories don’t work, because you end up eating way too many calories and way too many carbohydrates to lose weight. The carbocalories in a food are calculated as ((20 x grams of carbohyrdrate) + calories)/24. The idea was to eat under 100 carbocalories a day, and you would lose 5 pounds a week. Doesn’t work. […]
If you’re keeping your calories under 1500 a day and you’re not losing weight, one of four things is going on. (1) You are going over 1500 calories a day, and you don’t know it. Switch to prepackaged servings of protein (like packages of cold cuts) and veggies (prepackaged low carbohydrate veggies), that measure your […]
Every day at least one patient asks me, is cutting calories or cutting carbohydrates more important if I want to lose weight? The answer is you have to cut both. If your calories ar much over 1500 a day, you’re probably not going to lose much weight. If your total carbohydrate intake is much over […]
Losing weight is startlingly simple, once you stop all the nonsense. Keep your calories under 1500 a day. Drink a gallon of water a day. Keep your carbohydrate intake as low as possible, ideally no more than 10 grams per feeding. Glycemic index is nonsense that doesn’t work, because as soon as you combine 2 […]
If you really want to lose weight, it helps to separate the science from the nonsense. Most of weight loss is custom and practice, not based on science. There’s no significant science that suggests it makes a difference in terms of weight loss if you eat once, twice or six times a day. There’s no […]
There’s nothing wrong with skipping meals or going a day or two without eating, or even a week or two without eating, for most patients. No one ever came out of a POW camp fat. You lose weight by starving. Most patients can live on nothing but water for a month or two, before they […]
If you want to ease into my Fast Food Diet, have 4 Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese your first day (NO buns), 3 Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese your second day (NO buns), 2 Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese your third day (NO buns), and from then on eat 2 or 3 or 4 Double […]
I’ve been on the McDonald’s version of my Fast Food Diet the past two days. Two days ago I ate four Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese (NO buns). Yesterday I had three Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese (NO buns). Today I’ll have two Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese (NO buns). It will be interesting to […]
The neat thing about my Fast Food Diet, is that even though the calories can go up to 2000 some days, you’ll still lose weight, as long as you don’t cheat. If you eat 4 Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese (NO buns!) one day, you’re eating about 2000 calories. Figure 200 calories for each hamburger […]
