It is based on real science, designed by a real doctor. I lost 20 lbs just by doing the "diet", and once I added light exercise to it I lost another 20 lbs, and I've kept it off for a year with very little effort, no exaggeration.

Are you suggesting the biggest problem with overweight people in general is hypoglycemia? And would you suggest that these cases are mostly diet-based? Refined carbohydrates in the amount that many North Amercicans eat them would certainly be a good "breeding ground" for this condition. I don't think you see hypoglycemia nearly as common in developing countries.
