Joan you were right. There are people here who's doctors had the foresight to give patients heart scans before they started this diet. After months and even a couple of years on this diet there is evidence of blockage in arteries by plaque or calcification which is routinely found in people with heart problems.

The medical profession is also finding that in the absence of weight loss on this diet, not only are the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes increased, but it also promotes the development of these diseases in previously lower risk, non-obese individuals.

Scary new info.

Yes, but as with any diet, a healthy fitness regime must be followed even if it is only walking. Anybody who thinks they are going to get into shape on a diet alone is wasting their time....
