Hasn't it now been advised that you shouldn't go on the Atkin's diet without a consultation with your doctor??

What kind of effects have you seen Cali?

I think you'll find that most diets say you should consult your doctor before embarking on one Cali, not just the Atkins diet. IMO it would be very foolhardy if someone did so without speaking to their Doc first and getting blood tests and BP tests and anything else they might need to know and keeping in regular touch with their Doc throughout the course of the diet too.

I just thank goodness that I am a skinny wench who has never had need for a diet!
