The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine analyzed the weight-loss books by rating each book's daily diet recommendations on five criteria critical to safe, healthy weight loss:
* a minimum of 25 grams of fiber,
* five servings of fruits and vegetables,
* no more than 50 milligrams of cholesterol,
* no more than 30 per cent of total calories from fat,
* and no more than 10 per cent saturated fat.

well, gee, with criteria like that, it's no wonder these wonks got it all wrong!!
Now, if you apply the kind of criteria that really matters to someone interested in successfully losing weight, you know, something like the following maybe:
1. Allows you to lose weight without hunger
2. Objective studies clearly prove that the diet does improve cholestoral and tryglyceride numbers
3. Allows you to eat a wide variety of foods that taste really good
you would get an entirely different result!
Criteria number 1 all by itself would eliminate virtually every diet I've ever heard of except those in the low-carb camp, heh heh.
