Wow! What a super response, Dewey. It confirms what I thought about many of the diets as well. How can anything that relies too heavily on the inclusion or exclusion of a major food group be good? I had sort of worked out a lot of it from my knowledge of diabetes. I coupled that with an interest in nutrition and health and it's nice to know that my conclusions seem to be correct!

Now then, do you reckon we can make a fortune on a DeweyGnomish diet book? After all a brisk walk followed by a lean ham sandwich on wholemeal and a half of real ale sounds far more appetising than a diet bar :-)

Cheers and agreements on the good luck to us both!
