ooops.  Serious mistake found.

at this link: https://www.wayoflife.org/free_ebooks/downloads/Bible_Diet_and_Alternative_Health_Care.pdf

Oh no.  Worse than I thought. 

Going to have to put this finding to rest for a while.  (don't know how long).

Unless someone else also finds it,  and chooses to reveal it.  I'm not up to the debate at this time, here.

The only way to drop in weight is to eat less calories than your body  burns. 

That's only ONE way. There are others. Increasing your metabolism is one. You truly need to be more careful about what you post as truth...you seem to be less reliable than my dietician!

It comes down to the same thing, burn more than you take in. Eat slowly. Stop when 75 percent full.

Not really...metabolism can burn far more than your intake daily, though reducing intake can help. It's not the main ingredient in any diet, unless of course you're a hack for the FDA.

It still comes down to burning more calories than you take in. Even if your metabolism is high and you take in more calories than it burns, you will gain weight.

Why not? If  your metabolism will let you eat 20,000 calories a day and not gain weight, but you eat 25,000 you will gain weight. You would have to eat fewer than 20,000 calories to drop your weight. I know, I know, no one's metabolism is that high. 

By the way, how do you propose to increase your metabolism?

You are posting hypotheticals....I don't waste my time with hypotheticals. People can raise their metabolism through intake of water, exercise, certain vitamins and certain types of food....Gee...for someone who seems to know it all, you don't seem to know too much! ? This thread is supposed to be about "Way of Life Quack Diets."  You've seemed to once again get us way off track

There is nothing hypothetical about eating more calories than you metabolism can burn up. Ignore diets. Practice good nutrition in moderation, eating less calories than you burn up. Drink water and not sodas.

metabolism isn't regulated by how much you eat...it's regulated by WHAT you eat! You seem to be swallowing a LOT of the government Kool-Aid!
