Pete, I have been following the discussion that's been ongoing in the Plan Comparison SubForum and I beg to differ. What Karen described is a way of eating for life. One that heals and nurtures. There are no weekly 100$ fees or chastisement for falling out of ketosis. Fat loss is a byproduct of healing insulin insensitivity - there is no promise of 4 to 5 lbs to be lost a week. It is not a diet.

I would definitely call Dr. B's diet a 'diet' and 'a low fat diet' - "his theory is that by only eating roughly 900 calories a day, and by limiting your fat and carbs within those calories, your body is forced to burn the fat on it. " 900 calories isnt something a body can sustain - unless it weighs no more than 80 lbs.

Before comparing plans you should take the time to read what you're comparing it too - I am sure a copy of Protein Power is available from your local library.
