FWIW, I don't recommend the induction diet for more than a month.


*** Group calls low-carb diet unhealthy

ATLANTA (AP) - On a typical morning, Ron Glasgow eats a three-egg
omelet and a 12-ounce package of bacon or a half-pound of ham. For
the rest of the day, he can eat all the pork rinds, beef jerky,
sausage and steak he wants. After 11 months on this diet, he's gone
from 425 to 330 pounds. Glasgow and others claim to have shed
stubborn fat by laying off carbohydrates and sugars. They stick to a
menu of unlimited meat, cheese and eggs - no sweets, rice, pasta or
bread. Many dietitians and health experts, 10,000 of whom will be in
Atlanta this week for the American Dietetic Association's annual
meeting, say the diet is an unhealthy fad and the weight loss is
temporary. The high-protein, no-carb plan is "a nightmare of a diet,"
said Kathleen Zelman, a registered dietitian and ADA spokeswoman. See
