Oh My God!! I can't believe a doctor actually admitted that the diet works by making it LETHAL to overeat! How sad is it that so many people have to resort to something akin to putting a gun to their head and saying that if they eat that food, the gun will go off, in order to lose weight. Thank God I found low carb before I got to that kind of place. Especially since I'm not so sure I would have been able to see death as a good enough deterrant.
