There are at least two bona fide dietary approaches for the overweight individual -- restricting calories and restricting carbohydrates. Both approaches, in my opinion, are meritorious and generally beneficial to most persons who are overweight, and both represent a decided improvement over the use of amphetamines or other medications, useless gadgets or doing nothing at all.
