    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?

	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.
