Perhaps Cohen should call the waaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance.

Can't you form your own opinion about Usenet newgroups? According to
Google Groups, Tim Cassidy aka "Novice" <6tc1.DeleteThis@qlink.queensu.ca> has
been posting on Usenet since 1998.

Hmmm ... isn't that what he suggested in the first place, before you
started making excuses as to why it wouldn't work for you? Of course,
checking the web page won't help much unless you [a] buy the book, or
[b] have done sufficient background research to develop a
protein-sparing modified fast on your own, which is what I did. Mine
isn't committed to writing, so if you want details, you'll need to buy
Lyle's.

If you're at 25% bodyfat and training regularly, you're probably
consuming several times that 1000 kcal per day.

Then you can look just like Curt. I'm sure your pals with have many
interesting comments when they see that.

Let's review: you make excuses as to why you can't substantially
reduce your calories and carbohydrates, then you withhold information
about your excuses. Since we aren't telling you what you want to
hear, you argue about it, but when your arguments are challenged, you
drag out the claim that there is "secret information" that makes all
the difference in the world, but you can't divulge it. What type of
treatment do you expect?

BTW, Tim Cassidy's posts on Usenet tend to indicate that he is a
computer programmer. I'm wondering how it his that his work will
irreparably damaged by limiting calories and carbohydrates.

Steve Friedes noted that he has posted videos. So has DZ. So have I.

The old, time-worn "come to Katmandu and watch me" routine doesn't
float around here. In terms of the signal:noise ratio that your pal
was talking about, it's just more noise.

I may be in Vancouver the week of April 24. Is this the guy who was
going to do 30 full dead hang pull-ups?
