there actually is a solid body of evidence that supports the idea that somehow drinking a lot of milk can lead to weight loss, so maybe that's where the ice cream diet came from?

I know this is contrary to low carb dogma, but in the interest of scientific objectivity, I thought I should mention it.

still, low carbing seems to be working for me, so I'll pass on the milk and the ice cream, and, sadly, the Guinness too, sob sob....
