Wow! Talk about derailing!! I think that doctors are people just like anyone else. Nobody knows EVERY detail of every diet...especially if that is not their specialty! My own doctor has been on Atkins and has had enormous success. There have also been numerous studies on Atkins by acclaimed Universities who have found that this is the most effective way to lose weight! There is some question about Osteporosis because of a lack of long term study (there are lots of people out there who abandon their WOE apparently) so this is basically an guess. But tell me...do you think that South Beach or better yet the way you were eating before are any less risky?
I say you should just go for it!!! Lose the weight...feel incredible and prove her and her half information wrong! *end rant* LOL
Congrats on your success!
