Hot off the presses, McDonald, Lyle, “Stubborn Fat Solution”. Chapter 7 is to be read at bodyrecopositon.com. Did He beat you to it?

Gratefully,

Norman

Did he beat me to what?

The Protein Power Forums. I love the Protein Power Forum on your web site, nearly every post on every subject at least gets a discussion going. Redirecting people to the forum that have questions, especially more technical questions or questions that are unrelated to your blog entry, would surely save much of your valuable time. The forum would still keep people engaged and active in Protein Power discussions. My recommendation would be that you write a short article reminding people about the Protein Power forum and how to access it. Them have your web master add some verbiage near the comments section of your web site to the effect: "Please feel free to discuss this blog post below. All comments will be posted. Dr. Eades may reply to some comments that are relevant to the blog entry as his schedule permits. If you have questions; It is strongly recommended that you joint the Protein Power Forum where fellow Protein Power readers will help answer your questions. Please click here to visit the Protein Power Forum Now." Best of Luck with your new book! Jamie Dolan <em>Hey Jamie-- Thanks for the suggestion. Another reader emailed me with the same suggestion. All I have to do is implement it, which, since I'm a real Luddite when it comes to doing things like that, I'll get around to when I have time. Cheers-- MRE</em> HI Dr. Eades;

Hey Jamie–

Thanks for the suggestion. Another reader emailed me with the same suggestion. All I have to do is implement it, which, since I’m a real Luddite when it comes to doing things like that, I’ll get around to when I have time.

Cheers–

MRE

Once you've recovered, I'd love for you and Mary Dan to address how people with obesity and morbid obesity in their family can "save" their children from their bad genes. I'm sure it involves lower carbs and exercise... but I wonder what levels are healthy for kids of various ages. I guess what I'm saying is instead of a "Protein Power Lifeplan" how about a "Protein Power Family Plan"? Congrats on the new book.

I would just like to reiterate with greater emphasis what other commenters have said: it is EXTREMELY rare for bloggers with large readerships to reply to comments on an individual basis. We'll be happy enough if you respond on occasion with a post that talks about things you find interesting that multiple readers bring up. Congratulations on the book deal!

I can't wait to get my hands on this book. I'm nearing 50 and have always been thin but I still have acquired a bit of a middle over the last 2-3 years. Don’t worry about the comments.

This middle-ager is looking forward to it. It's a testament to your writing ability that you have the time to craft your posts, not to mention all the research behind it and responding to comments. Hell, just reading the 60 comments every day must be a good chunk of an hour. My guess is that your new focus on the book and posts is ultimately to the good, much as I have enjoyed the comments, with many more thousands helped than otherwise . And perhaps it will hasten the arrival of the tipping point for the larger movement, as well. Gratefully, Steve Congratulations on your book! This middle-ager is looking forward to it.

I am looking forward to reading it. Thank you for having taken the time to answer my questions. It truly is rare, and is/was a major differentiator for your blog. It separated you from the rest. I appreciate your time, but hope that when you complete your book, you will find a way to personally interact with your readers again. Thanks, Rick Dr. Mike,

So....this is good, now I can just enjoy the posts and maybe look for your comments in the comments! Fantastic that you're coming out with a new book!
