I got the weighing part okay but not sure how the results apply. The article at the link seems to only discuss sleep related issues. If one eats one pound of food that weight should be reflected in the body weight at that time. But I am not sure that one pound of food equates to one pound of accrued body weight. (Did I make any sense??)

Steve,
Yes it does. Right after you eat a pound of food, you will gain a pound of weight. But after the body processes it there will be the part that is used by the body and the part eliminated. What's left will be a matter of what was eaten. And that will be altered by how much stored mass you lose during the whole time. Water comes and goes easily. Fat a lot less so.

Yup, I have the same thought. A dietary scale.

eddi: yup, that's exactly the kind of simultaneous over-simplification and over-complication that sellers of fad diets want their victims, sorry punters, sorry "patients" to believe.
