  1. Hello

    Do you know what's with Herman Taller, M.D., who has written "Calories don't
    count"? I
    can't find any information about him, after 1967 and his law problems.
    What's with him? Is
    he still alive? If not - how and when he died?

    It is an interesting question. As I recall from websurfing about a year
    ago, he was convicted of something like mail fraud based on the page in his
    diet book that recommended the safflower oil pills. He had some kind of
    investment in the supplement seller. The prosecutor claimed that his diet
    book was a complete fiction made for the purpose of selling a bogus diet
    supplement.

    I found his diet book quite inspiring. There are others these days who
    claim omega 6 has a role in weightloss. When I read the book, the one page
    that touted the saflower oil pills sounded different in cadence, as if it
    was either written by someone else, or written at a different time than the
    rest of the book, and then inserted. I think there is no question that he
    sincerely believed in a low carb high fat diet, as do I. In his own
    profound weightloss he had used safflower oil as his fat source, himself.

    I don't know how or when he died. I'm sure he would have appreciated last
    year's low carb surge.

    I believe Dr. Taller's work was part of the research done by Atkins.

    Dr. Taller claimed that *all* of his patients on the diet lost weight.
    However, he monitored the patients with blood tests by which he determined
    who was cheating on the diet, and thus cheaters were not included in the
    100% success figure.

    My personal theory is that any form of fat will work to produce weightloss.
    I have lost 166 pounds, and now have a BMI of about 24. Dr. Taller claimed
    that weightloss using his approach stops working at 11% body fat. In the
    1960's counting calories was difficult. Today, with software like Fitday,
    it is easy. I have been calorie counting at the same time as eating a 60%
    to 65% fat diet. So, I guess I disagree with the title of his book. It is
    entirely possible that I would have had the same results, except somewhat
    slower, if I had followed his ad-lib eating approach.

    Dr. Taller's book inspired me to my success. I belived his 100% success
    claim, for those Who Do Not Cheat. That belief kept me from cheating.

  3. I remember that book....the diet required taking an injection of HCG
    every day. The theory was, pregnant women lose weight easily (?) so
    giving everybody a shot of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin would fool the
    body into thinking it was pregnant.....and you'd lose weight.

    Im serious.

    Why are you interested in finding this nutjob?

  4. oh yeah....I remember the saflower oil thing now, too.....you had to
    drink the stuff....disgusting.

    am I confused? WASNT he the HCG injections guy? Maybe Im confusing him
    with some other diet doc from the 60's......

    I think not, tho---

  6. Actually, Konehead, Im about 99% certain Im right. It was the first
    diet book I ever read. I was 15. Maybe 14. !964. I remember gagging
    down the saflower oil....and begging my mom to find a doc who would give
    me the shots. Fortunately, she declined.

    As it was the only diet book I had read, the HCG pretty much had to
    have come from that book.

    But, feel free to go fu*k yourself, either way, dipshit.

  7. I have a copy of the book in my hand, and I have read the whole thing some
    months ago. I remember nothing about pregnant women or injections of any
    kind.

    The book does not have an index.

    Dr. Taller was not a nutjob.

    injections or pregnancy.

    Google suggests you're wrong. The fad for those shots was high around
    1957, Taller's book came out in the early '60s, while there are a number
    of links that refer to both that seems to be more a reflection that
    they're sites that discuss dieting plans.

  12. Hi Tom,

    nice to hear from you again. The last time you posted,
    you told us about having been on Kwasniewski's
    diet for seven years....

    Quoted message said:

    I was convinced by Jan Kwasniewski's book titled
    "Optimal Nutrition" published in 1996. His idea was for me - that time -
    very coherent and brilliant.
    Since than I've met many people on this diet. I noticed
    that not everything was as easy as the author said it would be. I noticed
    that no one
    (diet's author too) tried to clear up problems people
    on this diet had.

    I'm still interested in learning more about your long time experience
    with Jan K.'s diet. What problems were you referring to?

    I have the "Optimal Nutrition" book, but find it
    not very informative (in the sense that Dr. K. doesn't really bother
    to explain the science behind his approach....).

    Take care,
    Hamburger

    Is it possible you read two books back then and you've
    combined their memories over the years? Or even there
    may be more than one book with the title?

    Injections of HCG that is extracted from the urine of
    pregnant women is still in use. My ex tried it through
    Lindora Medical Clinic in Los Angeles in the 1990s.
    She lost but she was hungry constantly and soon dropped
    out of the program. Their maintenance plan: show you
    where WW meets.

  14. I guess I use the term in the sense of: "To violate rules deliberately"

    In dieting jargon, "cheating" would be violating the rules of the diet one
    has chosen. For example: A vegan eating brains is cheating.

    Did you mean to point out that a diet cheater is cheating themselves out
    improved health?

    I guess I use the term in the sense of: "To violate rules deliberately"

    In dieting jargon, "cheating" would be violating the rules of the diet one
    has chosen. For example: A vegan eating brains is cheating.

    Did you mean to point out that a diet cheater is cheating themselves out
    improved health?

    That's correct.

    Well, maybe so. It's a forty year old memory, LOL.....I remember my
    mom's friend, Katherine, gave us the book...I remember gacking down the
    safflower oil (blech)....and I remember Katherine talking about getting
    her "shots", I believe, daily....so I may have associated the shots with
    the book in my mind.

    In any case, Im not interested in drinking salad oil OR taking hormone
    injections to lose weight. Man...that oil was hard to swallow.
