Have a close family friend who is an OB/GYN. He swears by the diet, particularly the Suzanne Somers version. He agrees though that this must be something you basically do the rest of your life to maintain. Not sure how SS differs from Atkins or PP. May go check out the bool from the library and read it. Its interesting to me how there can be different versions.

As for my GP, haven't been to him recently, but he is the one who put me on the PHen/Phen a few years back, and he is very open minded. So, he'd most likely be ok with it.
