The concept makes sense but to put an arbitrary poundage of 35lbs is stupid. I gaurantee that there isn't any evidence to back up that exact number, in yet everybody was talking about it today over the water cooler. Now when this idiot comes out with his junk-medicine book (if he hasn't already) lot's of morons will buy it.

I'm sure that there's research into his 'arbitrary number'... He did qualify it that the average man would 'gain' an inch... You've also seen two people in this thread back up his claim, while another disputed it. It's probably not accurate for every man, and is an average, which is exactly what most normal people would think. If morons want to assume it's a guarantee, let them. It's not going to be perfect for every man and there's no reason to assume it would be. A 450 lb man may not see his first inch for 100lbs. A 220 lb man may not see an inch at all.
