My mother is 60 years old with heart blockage and on a quick weight loss diet. Is that diet safe?
My mother is 60 years old and is on a quick weight loss diet. She has a heart blockage and is being treated for it. Is that diet safe? She said it would be safe because it was written by a doctor.

I feel your suggestion of consulting a dietitian for sound advice is not the only recourse.
Your comments on weight loss give much advice. I feel your suggestion, however, of consulting a dietitian for sound advice, is not the only recourse. There are many articles by nutritionists to rely on.
The Herbal Life Plan is one such alternative and people may tend to shy away from even looking at any of...
Would weight loss be equal on 1200 calorie/day high protein, low carb vs. 1200 calorie/day high carb?
Given everything else identical, would weight loss be equal on 1200 calorie/day high protein, low carb vs. 1200 calorie/day high carb?

I did my masters thesis on the relationship between fasting and aging.

A physician assistant at a hospital is advocating a protein sparing modified fast diet.
There's a physician assistant at a hospital near me that is advocating a "protein sparing modified fast" type of diet that includes lots of lean meats and is not more than 800 calories/day. I have always read this to be a very unhealthy way to eat, but he insists it works and says he...
Everyone who has been on a diet knows they will gain weight as soon as they go back to their old way of eating.
I have read a few or your question and answers. You asked a couple of times "What are they going to eat when they get off of the high protein diet? Well, after having talked to my own doctor (who I thought was nuts for telling me to eat protein) it's not just a...
I read a book called Fit for Life which contained some controversial ideas.
I recently read a book called Fit For Life (Diamond) which contained some controversial material and ideas. I have a couple of questions concerning some of Diamond's proposals.
Diamond says there are 3 natural cycles in the body. From 4 A.M. to noon the body is eliminating waste and one is not to eat...
Did not find any mention of the Calorad product by Essentially Yours Industries.
I looked through your Q&As and did not find any mention of the Calorad product by Essentially Yours Industries. I have a brochure which states that it has "purified water, collagen hydrolysate, aloe vera, glycerin, potassium sorbate, methylparaben as a preservative, natural flavor." It states "1 tablespoonful of Calorad at bedtime following a 3-hour...
