Detailed Review:
Contradictory
to other fashionable diets, this diet includes a high fat intake
along with a plethora of supplements suggested by Dr. Rosedale.
He suggests that a diet high in fat content can help in controlling
the level of lepitin, a protein hormone, and in turn help in controlling
the appetite and in regulating the body's metabolism. If a dieter
can control her appetite, then she'll be less likely to overeat.
This will eventually lead to weight loss.
Although
the dieter does not need to cut calories or fat with this diet,
he or she will need to restrict carbohydrate intake. Carbohydrates
can only be consumed if they are rich in fiber as well, such as
in green vegetables. The dieter must also restrict protein to approximately
one half gram per pound of body weight.
Does
this diet have any benefit to it? If you are an active individual,
you need carbohydrates to provide energy to your body, but you won't
get them with this diet. Likewise, you won't be getting much of
the protein that you need to maintain your muscle mass either. This
weight loss diet may be too limiting and restrictive for some individuals.
Lots
of supplements are expected with this diet, which can increase the
cost of this weight loss plan considerably. Considering the fact
that the legitimacy of such supplements has been questioned in the
past, the cost may even be a wasteful use of money.
Pros
· Promotes slower eating
· May be of some benefit to Type II Diabetics
· Heart healthy fats are encouraged.
Cons
· Fat is not restricted enough
· No room for exercise in this plan
· Not enough protein
Average
Weight Loss
· 5 pounds in the first week
Helpful
Tip
· Make a gradual transfer to this type of weight loss plan. |

As for discounting supplements, I take it you earn money from a drug company. With the Rosedale diet, the objective is to burn fat. Fat needs certain supplements to pass the cell barrier so that it can be burned for energy. We all need optimum levels of nutrients for health.
I recommend you read his speech which you can find at http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/07/14/insulin-part-one.aspx
Your body becomes proficient at fat burning and not merely carb burning. So the notion that this diet is insufficent for active lifestyles is nonsense. I lead a very active and busy life, and have not experienced a glut in energy with the exception of the first few days where I was weening off the sugar addiction. Also my workouts, and the results of them have improved dramatically.
Lastly, gradually getting on this diet is the incorrect approach. You will be constantly tired and experiencing hypoglycemia on a daily basis. It will be a miserable experience if you attempt a gradual approach.
I found Doctor Rosedale's new website. He's got the book, and it looks like his supplements will be available again!
