The David Diet - Background Information

BACKGROUND

The David Diet is shamelessly named after me. I developed the diet on my own in Year 2000, after rising to an all-time high weight of 160 pounds, which I considered to be "fat" for my slim build. The goal was to drop to what I considered my "Minimum Safe Weight," (MSW) defined as being unable to "pinch an inch." My MSW turned out to be 122 pounds. I went from trousers designed for a 34 inch waist to those made for a 30 inch waist. It took approximately five months to reach this goal, which worked out to an average of over seven pounds per month. However, the greatest weight loss may take place early in the diet, with the remaining weight reduction slowing as the body tries to adjust to the lessened intake of calories. I now weigh approximately 135 pounds by choice, and feel terrific. And yes, I can still see my feet just fine when I look down. Because I have solved the riddle of weight control, I can indulge in a bag of buttered popcorn, two scoops of ice cream or a large homemade oatmeal cookie once in awhile--without feeling guilty. There's a very good chance you will be able to achieve the same results yourself, by utilizing the David Diet.

HOW IT WORKS

The first phase of the David Diet "tricks" the body, by giving it and the brain the impression a large amount of food is being consumed. A recent study demonstrated humans eat by volume rather than by calories. The David Diet takes advantage of this behavior pattern. While in terms of volume, a large amount of food has entered the mouth, it is essentially in the form of water-based roughage. The result is a full stomach which spends a lot of time and energy crunching the material, while sending "stop eating" signals to the brain. Eventually, the digestive system realizes it has been deceived, but on the David Diet, the participant will continue to "fake out" the body with more recommended substances periodically throughout the day, or already will have turned in for the night, and therefore will not be aware of the return to a state of hunger thanks to the exercise as well as meditative techniques described herein.

WHAT YOU WILL NOT NEED

The David Diet does not depend upon joining a health club, using specially packaged diet foods or any diet supplements.

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO

Excessive exercise, rubber suits, starvation, enemas or vomiting are not part of the David Diet. Participating in any of these unhealthful activities will prevent the David Diet from working properly. If you are not an experienced jogger, do NOT jog or run on this diet. The risk of injury to your joints far exceeds the benefits. Walking will do just fine.
