Has anyone read the Hilton Head Metabolism Diet book written by
Dr. Peter M. Miller?
A friend of mine has read the book and is following the diet with
great results. The diet stimulates your ability to burn fat by
naturally increasing your metabolic rate.
Any comments?

I have some doctor's "Lose Weight: Change Your Metabolism" information
and self-hypnosis/subliminal-persuasion tape... and this doctor highly
recommends Hilton Head diet... (I never tried it though)

There's a Hilton Head dieter born every minute.
There are no miracle cures.
There are no miracle diets.
There are no miracle foods.
This is the real world, not fantasyland.

The Hilton Head Diet is your basic diet in which you measure your
food and you follow their planned menus and you EXCERCISE (sp) at
least twice a day. This is what get your metabolism going. It
would on any diet. It's high in complex carbo and low fat.
Sometimes folks need to hear a different way to tackle the problem.
The solution may be the same solution but presented in such a manner
to appeal to different folks.

I don't know about the Hilton Head Diet, but I recently picked up a
book titled 'Maximizing Metabolism' by Robert M. Giller, M.D. and Kathy
Matthews. These two people also collaborated on a book called 'Medical
Makeover'.
The _point_ they make, is that two things happen when you diet:
1. Your body gets more 'efficient' and your metabolism lowers.
2. When you _stop_ dieting, that 'efficient' metabolism stays with
you.
In order to counteract this:
Exercise, to keep your metabolism high.
In practicality, if you burn 500 _more_ calories a day, you can either
increase your intake by 3500 calories a week and stay even in weight,
or you can _lose_ one pound of fat (which equals 3500 cals, approx).
Since I have more than a passing interest in things dietetic, I will
probably pick up the HH book. If anyone expresses an interest, I will
review it in this note, so you can see if you'd like it or not.
