That would depend. If you locked them up and pushed the food in through a slot in the door, it would be closer to 100%. Don't get me wrong, you could treat them well - soft beds, kindly guards, books to read, even internet. You'd have to monitor and filter the internet of course, to block pizza delivery sites.

Date: 2011-06-25 01:07 pm (UTC)Actually, physically removing the fat rather than dieting it away would be a lovely control if it could be done...

Date: 2011-06-25 12:58 pm (UTC)Unless you are already so skinny that losing circa 20lbs (rough estimate of likely weight loss - hard to tell cos they don't give a figure on kcals) would be bad for your health.

Date: 2011-06-25 12:54 pm (UTC)I can well believe 8 weeks to have a dramatioc effect - that's how long it took me to basically get rid of my psoriasis by dietary means (lots of veg, some fruit, fish [palm-sized portion only], few eggs/week, olive oil, 5 almonds/per day)

Date: 2011-06-25 01:03 pm (UTC)I 'd think the shakes would sensibly be protein shakes.
Most folks carry enough fat to last a coupla months without food, and some fat people up to a year. It's scurvy that'd you'd have to watch for (12 weeks ish IIRC) and other vitamin/mineral deficiencies.
And they'd lose muscle too (bad) unless they did a bit of weight training to coutneract it - and there's limits to what you can preserves whilst calorically-deprived (ask any competitive bodybuilder!) that's another reason you can't run it too long.
And clearly people shouldn't just go back to what they were eating previously given that's what put them in the type 2 diabetic state to start with...

Date: 2011-06-25 01:16 pm (UTC)I am not buliding f*ckin' UIs purely in code. It's daft. Just daft. Like asking an artist to 'paint' a picture by describing the position and size and colour of brushstrokes instead of just doing it... or a musician to compose using in textfiles of midi codes...
I just say to them, "in less than 5 years you will want it badly, in 10 you will know I am right!"

Date: 2011-06-25 01:34 pm (UTC)The Web Dev UI tool is Expresison Web. I can't really judge it, though I have seen good reviews. It's future level of competence is unknown - who knows what resources are going to go into it?

It makes it incredibly easy to create a form, drop a textbox and a button on it, and then wire up methods to fire when the text is changed or the button is clicked.

Date: 2011-06-25 01:49 pm (UTC)Blend is designer-friendly. It is for the complex UI styling - if your list-box is arranged as a spiral, with items that fade in while writhing like tentacles, some dude with a goatee almost certainly did that in Blend.

Date: 2011-06-25 02:56 pm (UTC)Ok I'm happy I will still be able to plonk stuff down and show people and fiddle with it til they like it - in near-realtime...
Shame Blend is not *actually* photoshop as I have a Photoshop power user handily to hand....
