    800 calories a day. That is simply not enough to provide one's nutritional needs.

    People put way too much stock in the title "doctor" as if that means they are some super smart person who knows everything there is to know about medicine. If you are lucky, a doctor will be knowledgeable about their specific area of speciality. But if you've had any substantial experience with doctors, you know that is far from a given. But for these doctors who play far outside their area of specialty whole using their "Dr" title to sell themselves as nutritionally experts, when in reality their not any more qualified than your average accountant or auto mechanic.

    I might try it next week, but this week I'm doing the boiled egg diet.

    When I hear names like this, I swear these things are just made up at random. Boiled egg diet, potato diet, etc. It sounds like it's from The Onion.
