You know, I haven't had any of the side effects either that I can tell. My doctor was all for any low carb plan, but really insisted on lots of water and veggies to keep the kidney stones away.

However, a wellness nurse at my husband's work was really against it and because I don't defend the WOL anymore I just changed the subject. She was shocked however when my total cholesterol was only 166.

I think it comes natural for the medical community to be negative first. They are scientists.
