The Problem With Almost All Low Carb/High Protein Diets By : Haley Abrams Do they work? Yes -- you do lose weight initially on a High Protein/Low Carb diet but 90% of your initial weight loss is water. And that's where the problems begin.

These diets induce a metabolic condition known as ketosis which is really an unhealthy condition found in people who... Atkins Destroys The Competition By : Jeff Dorrian Nutritionists agree, today’s dieters can lose weight on many of the popular diets prevalent throughout the diet industry.

Successful Dieting Might Be In The Timing By : Ken Snowie What is your daily diet like? Do you begin the day with a buttery croissant and coffee with cream and sugar?

Are Herbal Diet Pills Right For You? By : Lisa Scott I took a few herbal diet pills in college once on a whim, and I didn’t eat anything for nearly two days afterwards.
