RE: Number of CRON Dieters

[Guest guest]

Nobody knows how many are pursuing a CRON diet. There's no census data on

this. Without a doubt many are not interested in joining an on-line group.

As with any on-line group, a few are active and most are " lurkers " .

I can't speak for the others here, but I for one am not a true CRONie.

It's been mentioned before that probably only 1 in every 1000 people

has the psychological profile to attempt something like CRON.

Hello Perspect and CR ALL:

The CRON diet is not appreciated by the public as the ultimate

life-saving health diet.

And those who do understand are impatient to succeed. No one

succeeds at permanent dietary improvement without intense

struggle to learn new habits and tastes and coping mechanisms to

replace and UNLEARN all the falsehoods pushed down our throats

by food advertising.

Eat pumpkin pies -- pumpkin is the best.

Eat cheese cake -- dairy is good.

Eat chocolate -- it has cocoa bioflavenoids.

Eat Donuts -- They are true comfort food.

Eat pasta -- Italians live long and healthy.

Drink wine -- Remember the French Paradox.

And soon you are a balloon. Just eat everything good.

Life is too short, and too soon we die.

Party now (and die sooner yet).

-- Warren

I am rather surprised that only 628 people are members of this

group. Wouldn't a significant proportion of people on the diet have

done a Google search and found this place? And wouldn't you expect

at least half of them decided to join? After all, I would have

thought most people would be interested in getting guidance from

others with more experience in the diet.

Looks like not many people are participating. (Not that that matters

much). Or am I out to lunch on this?

I'm not yet on a true CRON diet, but I am interested in it anyway. I'm

currently moving towards " The Okinawa Program " and then we'll see

where things go after that.
