WEIGHING IN ON DIETS <br />There are many effective diets. I don’t deny that and I’m not saying that they should be avoided. <br /><br />The goal is not to get into petty quarrels, but rather to lose weight and keep it off, if possible. <br /><br />You need to be pragmatic rather than dogmatic. <br /><br />If someone successfully loses weight by following a diet that differs from mine, I’ll strongly encourage her to continue no matter what diet she is on, as long as it is not dangerous. I would not attempt to knock her diet and claim that mine is better. <br /><br />I’ve been prescribing my diet for almost twenty years...
