Yeah Uick, how dare you make fun of this guy's non-existent credentials and his innocent religion. Scientology is super peaceful and they teach science right? It's in the name.
fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount
Like, more people are religious than there are people on the planet that are atheists. So If I would have to discredit him because of religion then I would have to discredit every other guy on the planet too with similar beliefs. (every muslim, hindu, jew, christian etc) There wouldnt be that many to pick from. His religious belief is a fairy tale, but I dont see why sharia laws, Islam or common muslim religious beliefs are better in any way at all. I find it a little strange that you guys attack him but defend Islam elsewhere.
It also says he is a nutritionist. I guess that doesnt count as long as he also has studied chiropractic...
By the way, I lost 40 kg's in 4-5 months because of this guy. And im winning a huge live bet because of him pretty easily now . To me, this is what should matter. Not ur ignorant opinion from 2nl/3$ sitngoe or whatever bullshit u are grinding.
Before lashing out at us for questioning your diet Guru's credibility, you might want to read up on scientology. The fact that you qualified it as "innocent" tells us that you are 100% ignorant about it. It's a disturbing cult that is in no way comparable to many of the world's religions, bare a few of the most extremist sects within them. The prey on the vulnerable and they will ruin your life if you try to get out. If you're not the reading type, watch this:
"Nutritionist" is a worthless credential. You can do an online course that takes a few hours and call yourself a nutritionist, all the while advocating for breatharianism. And please, we know your ego is hurt, but stop making yourself look like a gigantic douche with the "I make more money than you" talk. Also, don't PM me passive aggressive crap.

I dont care about someones religion, especially when its not even Islam. Only how good he is at his job. But enough talk
I bet 10000$ vs any of u that the weight will stay off, I will lose some more weight and that I will win at live/online poker (total) while following only this guys youtube videos for diet. Lets say 1 year from now.
1 to 1 odds.
Should be a snap call if half of what you guys say is true.

Erling, it seems like you succeeded because you had a big bet more so than because you followed this specific guy's dietary recommendations. If I bet $100k with any of you that I could lose 5 kgs in a month on a diet of chocolate and bacon, I could do that. You'd be paying me $100k to basically fast for a month. It still wouldn't be a healthy diet. Or that pizza guy recently who lost weight and increased muscle mass despite eating a large pizza from dominos every day for a year, he was exercising for 4 hours every day or whatever. With proper motivation, you can achieve weight loss through a myriad of different diets. I'm not even saying his advice is bad (I'm not watching the video, but the freeze frame says 'no trans fat, no lard' - I don't think many will disagree with those from a health benefits perspective), just that your success doesn't make him a genius. It just proves that you finally had the motivation to succeed.
Lmfao. Its an uncontrolled experiment in which we have to trust your word. I wouldn't trust your word for 100$. How did you arrive at 10000 as a reasonable amount?
Who cares if you can maintain your weight for a year on some idiots keto diet... People often go on for a couple years on stupid fad diets if they have enough willpower. The body is resilient and it can take decades of abuse and neglect until there's something seriously wrong/diagnosed.

And even thou you were a good guy in brood war Loco, I wouldnt trust your word for 100$ eighter now that you got so aggressive and hostile towards me for no reason at all.
But its still possible to set up a bet.
I lost weight loss bets before. I can set you up with the guys I lost bets against (some of them are from brood war). You can ask them if I payed up (even with no escrow and they were on the opposite side of Europe)
Anyway, obviously we would use a trusted escrow and it would be possible to set something up. If he would let me I could go to Eriador and he could document my weight and everything you want. I go to Trondheim pretty often acctually.

I get this and I agree (even thou I have lost weight loss bets before), I just dont like this aggressive forum behaviour from people towards him. You can find something wrong with ANYONE if thats what you are looking for... But I need to learn to keep stuff for myself in here. Not everyone are as open minded as my close cirle. I keep forgetting
I should stay away from forums, I dont do so well with the forum mentality in this or brood war or ye anything.
The point is that you can change your diet at any time and lie about it. No one can know. I also don't care to know about short to medium term weight loss. I don't know why you think I do. I care about life long habits and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Weight loss plays a part in that only insofar as its maintained long term.
I wasn't aggressive with you. You're the one who spams my inbox with childish aggressive nonsense. Calling out your diet guru for what he is isn't an aggressive act towards you.

It's almost as if you are describing the vegan diet but of course it is infallible despite no proof of generational evidence of healthy populations. You are quite dogmatic yourself Loco and I thought it was funny you wrote that but of course the vegan diet is absolutely correct for everyone on the planet right?
For thousands of years people in northern hemispheres ate pretty close to a keto diet, those people are still around, actually thriving.
Van Der Meyde someone from Norway probably does very well on keto diet and it is closer to our original diets my ancestors pretty much survived on animals only. But you don't have to absolutely eat 70% fat because that is what they say. Animals are not usually that fat except whales perhaps I think protein gets an unfair assesment in these circles. Just don't become too dogmatic or look to this individuals point of view only.
Regarding Scientology obviously because of his beliefs in that doesn't contradict his other points. It's pretty much common on this board the response seems to be ad hominem first and disregarding the rest. Scientology though is obviously just a manipulative new age religion that tries to extort money from unfortunate people that are looking for some meaning in life. Hubbards connections to Crowley etc. just shows he doesn't believe any of it and like good sociopaths do sets up an extortion racket for his new age religion that gives him control, stears society in a new direction and he gets to be a hero pretty good deal.
You seem to have an issue with Islam but what about Christianity, Judaism etc. the effects of them may not be as apparent but I believe they have a subtler effect. Judaism self proffesses to be a chosen people destined to rule over mere goyim because of their dna. While christianity is a slave morality that disarms people from tyranny. Both can be very dangerous. In a way I can admire Islam to at least have kept their warrior spirit and traditional values just a shame about the peer pressure and stupidity of the doctrine. The Persians would be much better off had they kept their zoroastrianism and not fallen to it. You may object to this support of traditional values but actually they are a fertile culture while ours is a dying one.
Anyway don't get worked up about Loco I know he can be annoying.
Oh my, so it wasn't an exceptional thing when he PMed with a bunch of shit :D
Anyway
Read somewhere that this was specifically designed to battle anxiety mainly through slowing down your heart rate. Obviously, I instantaneously called bullshit the anxious skeptic that I am... turns out it really fucking works or is this just a placebo effect?
The first "Weightless" track was created when Marconi Union were asked to write a piece of relaxing music in consultation with Lyz Cooper, the UK's leading sound therapist and founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy. The plan was that the track would then be scientifically tested for its' effectiveness. The prospect of being involved in this unusual project proved to be highly alluring and the Union quickly agreed to take part. When "Weightless" was tested at the Mindlab Institute, scientists reported that their research indicated that the music slowed the heart rate, reduced blood pressure and decreased levels of cortisol, a steroid hormone that is released in response to stress.
Here's a podcast about how the participants of that study were basically paid to skew their data: Link.
The "study" also doesn't determine that this song is more effective than other relaxing songs, just that it does relax the listener to some degree.This is a case of a pseudo-scientific institute set up for marketing purposes and free advertising through shitty articles such as this. Great, it's relaxing. However, anyone who trusts these people is having the wool pulled over their eyes. Here's some more nonsense, from their website:
THE SECRET Lyz’s music contains certain ‘sonic vitamins’ – formulae which are known to affect psychological states due to the way that sound and music is processed in the brain. The success of Weightless, and the independent research carried out by Mindlab has shown that Lyz’s techniques work. There is limitless potential for any organization choosing to use therapeutic sound and music with their staff and/or as part of their products or services offered. It is effective, versatile and can be used in any corner of industry and in the community. As this approach is cutting edge it is likely that any organization using Lyz’s methods will have substantial PR opportunities.
If that doesn't say 'academic integrity' I don't know what does.
