Are there side effects to this diet?
One major concern is fat intake. Patients and/or families are often concerned about possible adverse effects of such a high fat intake on cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as weight. Unfortunately, there is no clear answer to this question and usually depends on the individual. Varying factors include how long the diet is kept and/or a strong family history of hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia.
