ketogenic diet used for rapid weight loss.The diet includes lean beef, veal, chicken, turkey and fish. Eggs and non-fat cottage cheese are also included as are spices, tabasco sauce, herbs, salt, and pepper. Condiments, butter, dressings and any kind of fat or oil are not permitted. Tea, coffee, and non-caloric soft drinks can be consumed, but only in addition to the 8 daily glasses of water required. It's also recommended that dieters eat 6 small meals per day instead of 3 large ones. [ [http://www.lowcarb.org/stillman.html Review of "The Doctor's Quick Weight Loss Diet" at lowcarb.org] ]
Much of the early weight lost in the diet is previous water retention. Once the dieter returns to eating
carbohydrate s, some weight gain usually occurs due to a return of some normal water retention.References
