I'm actually pretty conversent in nutrition. And, interestingly, my most recent doctor was non plussed when I told her I ate a low carb diet. And we were both pleased with my cholesterol results.
I could find information on the internet on the danger of almost anything you care to pick. But, honestly, thanks for caring about my health.

That's wonderful that your cholesterol results have been so positive! :) I think just about any diet plan can have positive results, and you are absolutely correct in saying that we can find just about anything on the internet, on any topic, that would warn of possible dangers. LOL
When my girlfriend and I were talking about their low-carb diet plan she did agree that once again, like with all diets, it all comes down to self-control. She's controlling their diet through the low-carb plan and has to be ever diligent in staying on the diet. I think just about any diet plan can work for anyone who seriously wants to lose weight. I'm sure some are healthier than others but I'm not an expert on nutrition. I just take a commonsense approach and it works for me, but that's just me.
As for my friend, she lost almost 20 pounds when she first started the diet, but I haven't noticed anymore weight loss since then. As a matter of fact, I think she's put a few back on. But that doesn't mean the diet wasn't working anymore, it could be that she's not being as diligent as she was in the beginning. Her hubby hasn't shown any signs of weightloss, but he's a cheater. teehee
