Mo' dishiprin

Studies supporting the Karen Carpenter diet plan here;

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - When it comes to losing weight, the number of calories you eat, rather than the type of carbohydrates, may be what matters most, according to a new study.

The findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggest that diets low in "glycemic load" are no better at taking the pounds off than more traditional -- and more carbohydrate-friendly -- approaches to calorie-cutting.
Of course, that doesn't mean that if a person wanted to do low carbs while at the same time going with a KC approach, it might not be a bad idea.. In other words, have that chicken breast.. just not 5 of them.
