There is little doubt that removing the physician from directly observing the home environment has had severe consequences on diagnostic accuracy. If you have three cakes, a drawer full of Snickers and 16 plates left on the morning table from breakfast, Mom waddles in at 225lbs and 190/100, it's a bit difficult to tell the Doc how you eat reasonably and must be cursed with "big bones".
Since the advent of the doctor's office visit, the amount of lying has increased hysterically. Enter the scale, simple, completely effective and as the weight gain is measured against the recorded food (over)consumption, all lies peel away. It is what it is.
"The most important clue being the absence of a food scale in the home indicating the patient is completely unaware of how much s/he is overeating:"
Truth:
The two pound diet,aka 2pd etc. is quack science. It has flaws of both fact and logic. It was invented to fit a preexisting agenda and does not flow from evidence based on research. The diet inventor has many times been appraised of his flaws but clings to them for reasons other then science or valid medical practice
All of this nonsense of measure by weight or volume comes from the agenda fitting, not well established research. But sadly even the agenda is based on misunderstood and misapplied information. Even when corrected, the author of the agenda for nothing but pride and vain face saving can not deal with that truth.
The weight part came from a failed knowledge of a particular verse in scripture. When shown to be wrong, he promptly said he had been given a new interpretation to set the record straight. And of course this new information led where the agenda demands.
Bottom line, ignore any reference to the two pound diet,aka 2 pd etc. and stick with established information and sources of expert authorities which do not include the vanity of vanity distorting reality in this case.
There is a larger problem then misinformation obvious to anyone familiar with the inventor's posts.
Bottom line is that his war against GOD ended at Calvary's cross as evident by the following from one of Jesus' gentile disciples who happens to also be a cardiologist:
