I hate it when that happens and you damn near wreck due to chasing a wild fry around the depths of the seat cracks 

I'm still going to suggest the Atkin's diet & using MBR.If you want to take off some weight quickly.Then after you have reached your goal weight go back to a balanced diet.Try Atkin's for a couple of months & see what happens.Do you think a couple of months of eating mostly meat is going to kill you?It won't unless you have a serious medical condition which you need to find anyway if you do.The only warning  I give about Atkin's diet is don't cheat.Cheating does make the diet medically dangerous.The reason is the interaction of the fat with too many carbs.
Also Atkin's IS NOT a liquid protein diet That is completly different.
Just get Atkin's first book & follow it.

Mmmmm. Those are the best.

Must be the magic sauce!

tdawnaz : I can see you are con the Atkins diet & I'm pro .I'm sure I could post several links on the pro Atkins diet side.
Could you site some cases where it has been proved the Atkins diet caused either or both ?

Instead I'm going to post about Dr. Robert C. Atkins he received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical School in 1955, and went on to specialize in cardiology. In his more than 40 years of practice, he has cared for more than 65,000 patients.He was once summoned by Senate.I couldn't find an online copy of his "Statement of Robert C. Atkins,M.D. to the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs April 12,1973" that is in the back of the "Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution" book.It's about 9 pages so I didn't type it.
No charges were brought against Atkins by the Senate & his Medical license was never taken from him.So I guess those in the medical profession against Atkins couldn't prove him guilty of malpractice.
 
To make an example that links against any diet can be found here are some on the "Food Pyramid":
http://www.karlloren.com/diet/p109.htm
"While the government has stood by this regimen for 11 years, some critics say it's no coincidence that the number of overweight Americans has risen 61% since the pyramid was introduced"
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/463268 ( the link worked in Google but this way it requires login.or you have to copy & paste it into Google)
"The USDA food pyramid probably has more to do with diabetes and obesity than Krispy Kremes," Fitzgerald said.
http://thehealthadvantage.com/notesontheofficialpyramid.html
"Thank goodness Uncle Sam has now created a website to counter all that. . . Now that the pyramid has been completely hijacked by the food industry and promises to be as useless an educational tool as it ever was, it’s time to hang up the
effort altogether."
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/pyramids.html
"The new USDA dietary pyramid is a lost opportunity to help Americans make informed choices about diet and long-term health," says Walter Willett, the Fredrick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition in the Departments of Nutrition and Epidemiology. "It's clear that we need to rebuild the pyramid from the ground up, not just tip it on its side and dress it up with new colors. Every American deserves it."

I looked through the links in reply #94 & didn't see any that matched the above quote.
Of course all diets are "potentially lethal" no one has continued to live forever on any diet.
So far it hasn't been proved to me.How about a specific case?

"The serious snowstorm that hit New York City the day before the incident, along with unseasonably cold temperatures, left streets and sidewalks slippery. As was his daily habit, Dr. Atkins walked from his home to his office, a distance of about one mile. At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 8, 2003, he fell and hit his head, suffering severe head trauma. Keith Berkowitz, M.D., a colleague at The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine, was arriving at work at the same time, and was able to rush Dr. Atkins to the hospital within minutes. The doctors at the hospital emergency room determined that Dr. Atkins had suffered a subdural hematoma and that surgery was required to remove the blood clot from his brain. He survived for several days but eventually succumbed to complications."
He remained in a coma until he died but nothing directly related to the diet.He simply slipped & busted his skull.

Gives em a smoky flavor. MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
