Not in any serious way. I’ve heard it gives you bad breath though because of something called ketosis.

Simple...

Calories burned > Caloric intake

I'm not a big fan of Dr Dean Adell (SP?), but sometimes I leave the AM talk station on out of habit, and hear him. Somebody called in asking about an advertisment for a diet aid. He said that when a safe, highly effective and cheap diet aid is invented, the makers won't have to advertise it. It will be the #1 story on every media outlet from the The New England Journal of Medicine, to the CBS Evening News. I think he got that much right.

I heard him talking about the Atkins Diet a few years ago. The caller said that the diet does work for weight loss. Dr Dean said that Chemotherapy would work too, he just wouldn't recommend it. LOL

If you want to see Dr’s. Atkins and Adell butt heads, check this out:

After a month of low-fat and high carb (after surgeries), I’m back on Atkins. And already feel better for it! Thank God!

I agree that Atkins, or something like it,it the way to go. I just thought Dr Dean's comment was funny.

I remember recently people were talking about this diet pill called "Alli", I think, and it was flying off the shelves, but it's side-effects were pretty nasty, and the company warns you should wear dark pants, and a change of clothes to work. Whooops.

I saw those in Walmart today. Why would anyone take something like that?! I don't want to spend 24/7 sitting on the loo!
