Alfonso? !? Randy, you're nut(t)s!

. Well, business going out of business left, right and centre in NYC, or anywhere else in the US, is not what defines "a recession"; it's economic growth. So, as long as the economy is growing, it is not receding; therefore, no "recession".

Okay, that's true. But some fat sources have levels of mono and poly unsaturated fats that far exceed the saturated fat level, so it is still very possible to limit the saturated fat to very low levels. (Avoiding meat is obviously the first step.)

Yes, that's right, Randy. If the facts do support your position, then of course it's true that just because somebody finds following such a diet difficult is mark against the efficacy of the diet itself. There can't really be any serious doubt about that at all. I was under the...

Hmm, just checked out the link you provided. I must say, I'm not terribly impressed. That's not to say his information isn't valid, it's just that the way it is presented has my BS sensors tingling. Eg, "The Eating Plan is based on a super-advanced, next century dietary technology...

Ok. (Thanks Max, too). Let's say you've determined that you should be eating 100grams of carbs, for example. That would be "net carbs", right? (That's what I understand according to Max). So, in reality, you could really be eating 150grams of carbs, but balancing that with 50g of...

Randy, the health risks of high levels of saturated fat intake are well documented. Is this being disputed by the Atkins advocates? Hmm, that would certainly be surprising. I was under the impression that diets favoring higher fat intakes, in the region of 25-35% of total calories...

LMAO! Darkhorse, I'm can hear the WHOOSH of your (undeservedly) dignified response going right over his head! :) Please, Weeble, for your own sanity, do get a clue.

Okay, let's discuss that. I look at this issue quite differently to you. Here's the question you suggest the enterprising newbie asks: ""I am thinking of starting to trade ES (insert any instrument's you like here), and have $x available to do this. What kind of average daily return...

Bundle, no offence taken. In fact, I've read some of your other posts and I'm very much in agreement with you. I take exception, however, to your saying I "WILL BE STUCK", if it's with respect to my belief that 1.5ESpt/day average is ONE HELL of a performance. I don't consider it a...

Lol. What makes you assume he's even in America? Just the kind of arrogance he hates! :)

GP, let me ask you something. How do you conceptualize of this "ceiling" you talk about? I think it is very simple to understand if it was some hurdle that one was trying to overcome during a single event, like making 50 free throws in a row. Then it would be a case of "damn, made 48...

This is now the point where you would say "bullshit". Maybe you'd say "bullshit" at 30pts, or 10pts, or like many traders on ET 1.5 pts. Think about what your "bullshit" point is. This is your mental barrier. The mission of this thread should be to identify that mental barrier and try to lift...

Lol. I know what you mean -- believe me! (Do a search on my posts here! :) ) But if we're going to be honest with ourselves, we'd have to admit that Americans certainly don't have any monopoly on national pride or superiority complexes. It's just that Americans are so much more visible than...

Why is it important to subtract the fiber from carb counts? Does the presence of fiber affect the digestion/absorption of carbs or something?

Yeah, it sounds funny. And in "normal" life we usually discount people that keep on changing their minds. But as a trader, he's allowed to re-evaluate his position and change his mind, right?

My question to you was about whether or not you care about the changes in the price level while "time stop" has still not activated? If you're going to disparage price-based stops, then at least be willing to explain why your alternative is better, no?

"Allows" 20g (!!) of carbs? Yowza, that seems very, very low. How long is this "induction phase" supposed to last? What are the carb limits bumped up to after it? I've got about 15-20lb of fat I'd like to get rid of. (Damn it! Let myself go!). This Atkins stuff sounds kinda...

Oh, that's kosher! Lmao. Whether or not Brandon can really trade -- as opposed to sounding like he can -- or not is beside the point. This whole ad reeks of snake oil so strongly I can smell it from across the Pacific.
