WEIGHT CONTROL AND THE DIETER'S JUKEBOX; PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
How a diet with 100% success rate is possible!
Am I serious about weight control or am I a comic or what!
This page is more for professional dietitians who have the resources to set up this plan...even so it also may have value for more common use, and it's just interesting to think about.
Also on this post I'll show you links and methods for more prosaic common methods of losing weight than the jukebox that have worked for me so I lost 40 pounds in 3 years..
Be sure to read and understand my disclaimer please
http://encomdisclm.blogspot.com/2006/11/theories-and-ideas-on-this-site-are-to.html?
As before on some of my posts I had talked about my idea of setting artificial limits with timer boxes like about how much money you have each week to spend on food in order to counteract the artificial surplus of food that's available here and in our hour.
One reason I found that artificial limits weren't as efficient as I had hoped was because I would rather lose weight when I have the time and the energy like to walk (where beyond an hour and 20 minutes you lose a pound according to Prevention magazine by new findings) and not when I'm not ready.
Artificial limits are not as efficient in this respect.
In passing I also mentioned as you can see on my other posts, about the Dieter's Jukebox. Here I want to elaborate on this idea, it seems to be a way to have a perfect diet without almost neww extra events of hunger and with almost 100% effective value.
By this idea you can't eat what you can't see so if you had all your food in boxes that had timers like the kitchen safe timer box..
you could basically lose all you want.
In truth this will be another form of artificial limit for weight control, even so more on target.
The idea would be that if you limit the availability of the food perhaps more reliably, then the whole thing about overweight decreases.
In addition I imagine using stress sensors to automatically limit overeating in times of stress by perhaps relaxing herbs.
I tried a simple plan of the dieter's jukebox with just two or three locks and boxes for like a day's worth of tempting food timed out a few days.
There were three problems as it turned out.
First of all, Complexity: it's quite complex to keep track of what food you want to limit with only a box or two and to lock and unlock all the boxes.
Second, Anticipation; There's only a somewhat large amount of food you can store for coverage, and basically I would find myself waiting with anticipation for when the box would open and then here again I've got too much food available! How to keep a rich woman busy..Not to be used for the other use; open other end, Open other end!
A problem was about REFRIGERATION; timing out food in my refrigerator was a limit because the valuable food often spoils.
I used a cheap timer padlock and I'm glad I used it because it's gone now to the big kitchen above.
Actually I think the time just froze in my ice jukebox and it's a way cool audio time machine with a clunk!
SOLUTIONS
COMPLEXITY..
In my more advanced plan, this is solved for the Dieters Jukebox, by buying pre-planned meals like Jenny Craig and and timing these out in the boxes.
The other part of the complexity about locking/ unlocking all the locks may conceivably be solved by something like remote controlled timer locks like for those who are professionally involved with promoting weight control.
I envision for this use that you would simply program all your locks to lock and unlock at the right time from one central control app, you press the button and they're all set.
ANTICIPATION/LARGE PORTION PROBLEM;
This could be solved economically by buying bags like book bags with zippers, where you put the lock through the tabs the zippers, 21 of them for three meals a day for a week.
Here if you're serious like me, I'm the brightest star around!..
You can also buy 21 timers of some sort like timer padlocks or the kitchen safes.
The boxes with the zippers that you lock with the locks you could probably get for a dollar each online somewhere I wouldn't doubt.
The padlocks are going to be more expensive at least $20 each like on Amazon.
If you use this plan professionally or otherwise I would recommend that you would also use like snooze alarm timers to get you ready for when it's time to dish, by using the snooze alarm you can also postpone eating if you're busy with some other event.
I find the snoozes of value for this in the middle of some other activity so that I can finish the activity and then go on with usual events if I'm not yet hungry.
This will make the jukebox for dieters more flexible and so more people will be able to stay with the diet.
If you're professional you might want to add stand up comedy by adding jokes and memory tricks to each alarm so it's a nice surprise when it's time to eat or when you're ready to eat.
Of course the jokes on the timer could be about all the value of being thin and all the value of paying you the dietitian, the cheeze filled Visas are all 100% up! (I spell cheese with a z since it has been linked to reduced lifespan and insomnia the Zs cancel the other Zs, fight fire with waves!)
Another option here might be to use the alarm so it plays interactive learning software to reinforce the value of good habits and how being thin may be so valuable.
REFRIGERATION
This slowed me up for a while but the solution is to use locks with keys for the boxes that you put in the refrigerator and then just timing out those keys in turn with the timer box locks socks, finally found my socks they haven't disappeared into an implosion of another cosmos, at any rate of faster than light at my speed of light weight rest.
One other question is about why the dieting fan can't just go out to the store and buy more food.
The most advanced plan here might be to use software to control the car by sensors that sense if the person has any money or has just eaten and it automatically keeps the car from starting if they start to drive to the store.
Even for dieters who don't own cars like the rich or whatever, they own horses, the method might be of worth if it also locks the door.
If I'm in Weight Watchers, let me out of here well no thanks, I like being lofat!
Like the video zoom contacts.. each time the genie would blink she'll get more sweet dreams and rest and not have smash up in her Chevy watching old movies!
Another possibility to keep dieters from outsmarting themselves about food instead of the SUV lock may be a simple mouth guard that allows conversation but not eating when too much food has been counted from the dieter's jukebox for the portion method of buying preset meals.
You may say isn't hunger-and starvation about food?
If I'm rich I'll sleep on a cushion of cash!
The real beauty of this method and the ultimate takeaway would be that you can make it a real small reduction so it has almost no cost to the dieter.
As I say elsewhere I think the strain of being unable to talk is a main measure of the value or lack of value of a diet.
If you've lost 20 lb and you start to not be able to talk because you're in such pain all the time then the diet will probably fail if it just goes on without limit until they eat.
If instead you automatically lose it gradually by these methods then you're much more likely to keep it off.
So even if the dieter is sort of inside the dieters juke box they may not say "help can't get out!", not if the portion control is set at most optimal times for the least pain and the most optimal payoff.
Another valuable way to improve this might be sensors that sense the dieters hunger and stress levels and automatically reduce the strain of reduced food at that point. The second mouse gets the cheese.. even a 200 lb mouse!
Of course as I say walking has a lot of value mostly compared to other exercises for weight loss as it's been found.
I think of calorie restriction and hunger to lose weight as worthless, while walking for an hour and 20 minutes as Prevention says makes it so that you can lose just a pound here and there and keep it off.
The Dieter's Jukebox is thus for calorie restriction but only relative to overeating and exercise.
The goal is never to be hungry at all with the Jukebox, and lose all the weight patiently you might want with walking combine with sensible exercises at reduced level to maintain fitness.
So good old fashioned methods of weight control are going to be of value at any rate just for good health and also I've already lost 40 lbs in 3 years, slow and calm may also win the marathon, and on and on.
As you can see the dieters Jukebox is relatively expensive and complex but it might be the most effective like with 100% success rate of the diet.
The high success rate is important because 25% of people who lose weight go on to pathological dieting and the diet success rate is usually low by other methods.
It's a bit more complex but it's more efficient. Imagine dietitians who don't lose two thirds of their business because they're not eating their profits!
If you're a dietitian imagine celebrity after celebrity paying you lots of money and losing the weight and the celebrity's reputation goes up and so will you.
Another advantage of this advanced dieters jukebox method is about reduction of malnutrition for those who are dieting.
Heart attacks and blood sugar events and many other health issues such as arthritis could be reduced by the value of this method.
This dieters Jukebox would seem superior to most diets, including one I'd recently seen where they use a magnet to keep the person's mouth closed.
The DentalSlim Diet Control method has been devised by scientists in the UK and that the University of Otago in New Zealand.
Using special custom designed tooth bands as if used by orthodontists the magnet limits the weight off fan from opening their mouth less than 2 mm so they can only eat liquid food.
Some few cheated by eating liquid chocolate and fizz, other replied that this is easy and anyone could get "around" it!
An uproar was ensuing, yet yeah without suing, as some have merrily dubbed it a "medieval torture device" like of Merry Old Rhymers or perhaps something like Bitcoin which Warren Buffett calls "probable rat poison squared".
To which the researchers replied no more general pandemonium just sergeant pandemonium because it was not intended as a quick or long-term way of losing weight.
While those in the two-week pilot study lost about 14 pounds each, obviously they won't be able to keep it off which is what the evidence shows and so the researchers were saying that it's only for people who have to lose weight if they're in need of weight loss like for health care if they're going to have an operation.
This seems to limit only those people.. after they lose the weight and then put it back on and all the rest of us also. Works for nearly 100%!
Despite what the researchers say about it being cheap effective and simple, other than the medical use it would seem to be just a sort of gimmick in a way.
This would seem to limit talking other than saying YUM YUM, and a computerized method of the magnet lock might be viable however provided food that the person could eat was limited to a gradual method as I say above.
One other thing I would say about programming the Jukebox is also about getting in the habit of being moderately stressed about food.
Mark Twain would say we should have something that makes us uncomfortable each day so we don't think it's so unusual.
As I say on my other posts, limiting comfort foods and flavor with moderation can have a strong influence on weight loss, if also combined with other methods like using food substitutes which are like foods that keep your mouth busy like a smoker, as well as complexity of food flavor like a tomato which slows down eating rate in research.
DID YOU KNOW?
It's been found that the person who has food like watermelon or apples on their shelf are on the average 9 lb under weight, while people with a box of chips on the shelf compared to the norm are about 17 lb overweight.
This seems to be evidence that unlike simple over processed foods, complexity of flavor has real value for weight loss.
Natural foods like watermelon or tomatoes have complexity of flavor and this causes a considerable reduction of weight.
At any rate if there is some discomfort each day about food, this can be learned and become a habit with time so that reduced temptation about food becomes second nature.
If you're programming a Jukebox like this if you build it, I think the most effective way might be to go back and forth between more comfort foods and low doses of more healthful staples more commonly that aren't so extreme.
This would make it so by actually exercising my appetite, I'm getting stronger about it like exercise will. Yes, fat is a muscle used to push my stomach from the shelf, so far so good and so on.
One main way I found to do this, because I had to take prescriptions that limited my vitamin C part of the day was to eat a food like oatmeal pretty commonly with sweetener like lohan/ erythritol with no calories and good flavor and no side effects ever seen, etc.
There was like a 2-hour 3-hour period each day when I couldn't take vitamin c foods with my prescription. And when I would eat stuff like oats during this time I got more and more used to the idea of patiently waiting to have a bite or more particularly I was limited in what I was able to eat without vitamin C and I thought more about what I was eating before I ate it and carefully weighed my options.
The oats are quite satisfying since they're considered to be a staple with the sweetener but not luxurious. Like Benjamin Franklin would say "Want and abundance are the ruin of man".
Can we hope for moderation, and abundwant or wantance? RIGHT. The stress wasn't too great but it was enough to make me aware whether I was eating or not.
A handfull of patience is worth of bushel of brains, and much easier to carry around!
But if both are of value, many may use the bushel for a lofat hat!
So if you're a dietician and thinking of programming a Jukebox like this, I would recommend to put in limits on availability not just the food itself but also the types of food on a regular basis.
This is a goof I've seen that must have shipwrecked millions of diets, like recipes for unhealthy food alternatives by eating unhealthy food!
The jukebox might instead have like three options to choose from when the time was right and there should be sort of like a time of tribulation by the dieter to think about what may the most optimal and valuable for them at that time.
In essence this could be a time to learn a bit about nutrition, and here again comedy and memory tricks could be useful to boost the value of this.
For example a picture of unhealthy food to be compared to what they're about to eat and questions will be asked like, Do you realize that if you eat this bad food you may only live 30 years? Right! "In my next 70 years!"...
And you also are helping people to eat right by buying the food that they can buy more by "economic vote". Awesome charity here more worth than a thousand other nonprofits (even while they are good and great).
One thing the idea where the mouth magnet is superior is about going in stores and availablility of food however.
While the Jukebox would limit food around the house or the dietitian's office it still wouldn't stop people from just going to the store and buying food, right?
More particularly food is real complex and often relatives will show up with surprises of nice food when they find out the person is on a diet just to pretend to be nice.
The mouth magnet if combined with the Dieters Jukebox would limit all access to the food except when the food of the jukebox was in reach.
An alternative would be to limit the availability of money to buy food and any attempt to buy food online or in the store would automatically be limited by the credit card.
Otherwise if the diet crash and burn pilot goes to the store and buys a lot of food that's not healthy the mouth magnet will sooner or later allow them to eat it. The mouth magnet doesn't know what food is being put in the mouth.
If for example by way of the mouth magnet method the food was put into bags ready to eat I could see no reason why the dieter or diet sabateur couldn't just try to switch the food in the bag if unlocked for cheaper food at the last moment in hopes of cheating on the diet.
The mouth magnet method wouldn't limit buying behavior and I would think the most reliable way to distinguish one food from the other would be by the way of the Jukebox where the allowed food is locked down with a code and the other isn't.
More specifically I can imagine a sensor in the person's mouth that senses whether they're eating from the allowed container or not and locks the person's mouth if it's not.
About relatives with gifts of food to those who are "in need!".. I would think that if they try to send them through the mail as mine have with regular events of this type a similar control method agreed upon with the post office and other delivery methods by computer could automatically limit this "weigh" in.
The dieters box could also be combined with the mouth magnet method to limit any food from relatives or other sources in the house, so that the mouth magnet closes down if that food is nearby and only when it's removed from the house and thrown in the trash does the food in the Jukebox become available to eat!
Here the mouth magnet is open most of the time but when danger is near it would automatically limit the advance when seen.
I would think there could be a special entry area for the dining room where the Jukebox would be, and there will be sensors that would sense of any food is being brought in and automatically limit the appetize squeeze!
It might seem each box of the Jukebox would also need to be refrigerated for keeping the food safe and healthy and this would be expensive, however as I say a method here to solve this could be to use typical padlocks to lock boxes like in a freezer and then the keys of each padlock are stored externally in timer safes like with timer padlocks, easy to find online that freezing also can't damage.
If I was 200 pounds overweight by losing just 30 lb a year, in just six years the person's weight is down to an optimal level but without the talking limit..
About the walking method and other tricks like using a food substitute as I have devised click here
I find that using food substitutes for example allspice sweetened with lo han/erythritol (Splenda) or Jamaican curry, make pretty good food substitutes.
I highly recommend experimenting with herbal salt blends with low salt but with quite a lot of flavor. People with cardio seem to be starving and the best way I had seen for solving this for them is to use this method as more designed by professionals who pick the herbal blends. I found I couldn't do this on my own because this is one you want to leave to the professionals, and draw your own conclusions!
Other ways to do this for example are to eat green peppers and I would also think like health powders e.g. kale powder with almost no calories are some easy ways to use the food substitute method.
You don't want your flavor to be extreme either bad or good, you just want to keep it low moderation and so with the food substitutes most herbs are not viable for this like for example, onion powder is far too bitter, and so is garlic, and so on...and so on my page I'll show you some of the herbs that are both moderate and flavor or enough to wake you up but not so much they zonk you down..
By this method you're not "should I eat or not eat" but rather you're like "here's this beautiful other alternative" like it was in evolution where we were eating healthy herbs because there wasn't enough food in reach.. here though you're doing this because there's abundance and evolution is more right side up.
HOW AI AND SOUND ATTENUATION MAY BE USEFUL FOR WEIGHT CONTROL BY REDUCING STRESS..
Studies have shown in surveys three out of four say they feel comfortable before they go in the store to buy their food and as they leave only 1 in 3 are comfortable.
My mother would always say if I was tired that perhaps it's a low grade inflammation.
So to this kind of stress may have influence on the diet as you would expect.
It's been found that behavioral discomfort causes as much harm to your neural health as actual physical discomfort.
I think of it as a sort of hunger so you go to the store and you have this pain and it makes you hungry so you buy more food.
With enough experience I've gotten to where I know more about this and so I found a method of limiting this influence and stores by use of special ear stops and other methods combined...
Actually for ear stops I use a brand of denture adhesive in my ear, Secure just 7 bucks a tube.. This is made of just three ingredients one of chewing gum polyvinyl acetate and also tree rosin that are not even itchy in your ear like some of ear stops I tried before. These are good stops for high frequency sound like shrill speech and it doesn't even look like you're wearing a recreational ear stop. They now have hearing aids without a prescription, ear stops tabs are tougher to swallow!
If you do this you want to wait a couple days for the chewing gum to set so that it forms a more solid plug.(Even so see your audiologist before you try this)
I don't know if this will work for noise in general but it works well for high frequency speech..
When learning or listening to language, it's been seen that 4/5 of the events are just the pattern of the language and only 1/5 often have meaning.
So it's viable to go in the store with the special methods where you can also hear through by limiting some sounds and not others to do well in the store.. better is to find ways to have good things to say to the people in the store often, and contemplate constantly on what's beautiful than true as I try to so I have this often and I'll show you how on this link or if you like click below at the end of this post....
SOLVE CONVERSATIONAL DISTRACTIONS;
https://your-ancientchipshiner.blogspot.com/2020/06/menu-word-of-more-breath-ahh_30.html?m=1
Note that this is the method that works much well with the ear stops alone when you're not exchanging much information with the people if they might seem to be sort of difficult..
Even so due to the advance of SR speech recognition, you can more completely filter your conversations (currently custom word replacement lists are available, or someone tries to say the same thing repeatedly and always demands an answer and you've already answered them all you might have to do is just replace that word or those words with just a dot or other letters) to more optimally remove what you might not want to listen to as much and also help you just have a lot of good things to say as I'll show you how to make up your own comedy from sources like the news so you always have some good to say as I often hope, and also the best software I found yet with speech recognition for this....
While real augmented reality like this is on the way, here in 2025 you can actually now buy lightweight headsets with a readout with this speech recognition from another app you link up to it like the Vuzix Ultralight or Transcribe Glass which can now use speech recognition with replacement words so you can listen to kinder words if you like and see just what they say!
This maybe useful for people who are dealing with those such as those who want to criticize in unhealthy ways that are of reduced value.. this is a form of AR augmented reality and it's considered to be perfect for people who are living with stress either caused by events or people who are tedious or repetitive. Being with pessimistic people is not considered to be good for health, this will make it so more people can be optimistic more often..
It's been estimated that conversational distractions were costing the economy 50% of its profit It's been said that a banjo mute is a marriage saver and my neighbor says the local bus is a godsend but I could imagine this being a conversational enhancer, might be worth dramatically more than any of these for defending and saving all kinds of relationships by helping you find more witty and beautiful things to say for also weeding out other less valuable influences..
The speech recognition with the custom word replacement list of these glasses can also be used with conversational creative responses by linking them up with the new AI apps. Creativity, problem solving, comedy, technical conversation and more might soon be in one software you may love to read. And I think of this like my music marms used to say about recordings for musicians.. they're more valuable not as a crutch but as an inspiration for more beautiful events. Kind words like rain makes the flowers grow..
As AR becomes more powerful I can imagine where it would size up any situation where you want answers and suggest to you the best answers it can arrive at...sort of a conversational bodyguard or guardian angel.
Currently a $2.50 piece of software can out compete every Grand Master in a chess match.
Transcribe Glass won't be available to later this year but it's only going to be $75. If you would love to have these now, The Vuzix Ultralight currently goes for around 600$. These may continually get cheaper because there's no new technology involved it's the usual hardware and software of speech recognition and now it's lightweight and the batteries finally are powerful enough for use.
These AR Aglasses with the readout combined with the Dieter's Jukebox may be valuable for weight loss and other kinds of behavioral health by reducing stress..
My Belief About Why Exercise Hasn't Worked for Weight loss Much in Research Up Until Now..
Provided you walk two or three times a week for 120 minutes each not much heavy exercise needed- and I would say it's bad for your diet!..combined with tricks like on a regular schedule are is why in my belief, scientific study has shown that exercise doesn't cause weight loss, it's because science hadn't yet found what type of exercise actually does work.
I think of it as a "sensitive mechanism". If you tamper with the mechanism by trying to force it too much like by binge dieting or binge exercising, or as they found even just talking about being on a diet around your kids makes them more probable to gain weight... you're not making use of the viable event where you actually win more than you lose more reliably.
This is why I cover my mirrors because weight loss has been shown to be reduced or maybe not so reduced if you lose it for looks.
So too I time out my scale with padlocks and the box to reduce the hype.
My Favorite Appetite Suppressant, and Why it Works.
If you're familiar with alt/complementary health, you may have heard of adaptogenics.
By definition adaptogenics are herbs or methods that help the body and its physiology many ways without causing harm.
To famous examples of adaptogenics are panax ginseng and eleuthro.
These are herbs that have been established to be safe and valuable for different uses.
These are both considered to be fitness boosters and energy giving.
Another adaptogenic that you may not have heard of is withiana. Withiana, like many adaptive genics has special characteristics.
One of my favorites is that it's strongly neuro protective.
In research when you're under stressed with withiana you literally lose only 20% of the neurons you lose when you're under stressed without withiana.
Another value of withiana is that it causes relaxation.
It's scientific name is withiana somnifera which means it causes sleep or relaxation.
When you have emotional hunger you actually stressing your solar plexus the bundle of nerve fibers just below your heart. And my belief this is for that gut-wrenching feeling of where's the darn RC for my www.blender! comes from..
I found that really low doses of withiana, like say 1/10 the amount recommended on the bottle by the vendor Swanson Health, when dissolved in another jug and dispersed a lot with a labeled jug, this gives relaxation and when taken both by mouth and on the solar plexus reduces hunger quite a lot.
My guess is that stress like emotional stress causes a feeling like hunger by way of damage to neurons of the solar plexus. For me, and while it may not work for you, I found that this is to take a bit before I go to the store so that when I come back with the food I'm not tempted to eat as much.
This can hypothetically be also used for reducing stress caused by pharmaceuticals or OTCs you might take. (Please remember that I'm not a professional and this site is for entertainment only.
Remember with all this you NEVER have to be hungry even once almost to lose a lot of weight if you do it by walking and don't overeat either. The idea is to remove all your opportunities to over or undereat and then lose the weight by walking. I found food limits to help achieve this to be much improved by the food substitute and the flavor methods.
In the old days I would go through 8 times a day when I'm thinking "am I hungry?" when it would be a question and I wasn't hungry and then otherwise I would eat..
Science has shown that a third of the time when you think you're hungry and you eat, you're actually thirsty.. I had found myself wanting different things and then somehow it copies over to the dishes..
I like to combine the substitutes with the chow itself so it's more complex also..
Even so if the exercise is too severe it's not going to work.
As I say this post is perhaps just for entertainment and some wild dietitians here and in other lands perhaps, and I haven't needed the Jukebox to lose weight. Even so there are a lot of people with stress who might see value out of it and wouldn't have to depend on the "mechanism" so much and hopes of losing weight just right over and over by more common methods.
The idea is that ultimately the Jukebox being safe, relatively cheap and 100% effective, might be another option to have in our weight control toolbox. And also because nothing else- even the magnetic bite crunch, doesn't work!
Sort of like letting the SUV help you travel and not just walking, because a lot of people are just thinking constantly about weight control and can't, and this would completely remove their worry about it.
Or perhaps like Grandpa Jones on Hee Haw would say when they asked him "Where is your still?" And he said "I have it set up so it lights its own fire.. brews its own moonshine, and blows itself up when the authorities are around.. It's on the softwear!"
For reduction about this method even while it's a bit synth it might be a real value a lot of people, and a few celebrity dietitians, might use!
These methods combined with complex flavors and lower levels of flavor but not too low, which have been found to have power for weight control, combined with the walking and no hunger, have been enough that I could lose a lot of weight and no doubt I'll be able to lose more.
How I Reached This Level
This post about the Dieter Jukebox even as a plausible experiment "was not yet viable" so I looked at the odds after going through five diets over the years and I decided to patiently wait till science might have helped me, and sure enough it has and I realized a slower but sure method is the wise way to achieve this overall. Thus I haven't lost a lot and more back on, instead I've lost 40 lb in 3 years that is mine to keep I believe....Click here or Right Where You Are!.. for more about how I lost 30 lb in 3 years..

Here's my post about increasing the complexity of food. This has been found to be of value for control
https://wordofhealth.wordpress.com/2019/04/06/about-complexity-of-flavor-and-diet-triumph/
